Enjoy a jam-packed day of free activities across the city of Chichester on Saturday 6 June, to raise awareness of climate action in the local community. This collective celebration marks the beginning of Great Big Green Week.

Scroll down for timings of the activities happening across the city.

Luke Brown Company presents:

Walk of the Dandelion

Daniel - an 8ft, ethereal puppet - roams through the city. Along the way, he shares gifts of dandelions, each with a message of positivity.

Daniel will look out for the amazing floral displays outside shops and eateries as part of Chichester BID's free Chichester In Bloom city trail.

Meet Daniel on one of three walks at different times across the city and join a free workshop to make your own dandelion to share along the way.
