The Great Big Green Week: 18th – 26th September
At Cody Dock we are taking part in The Climate Coalition’s Great Big Green Week from 18th – 26th of September. To celebrate and support it we are running some cool events that are free and open to all. The Great Big Green Week is part of the lead up to COP26, which is the UN Climate summit that the UK is hosting in Glasgow during November.
These activities have limited spaces so please sign-up asap to avoid disappointment because some of our events can be really popular. Also, please do let us know if you are no longer attending so we can offer the space to someone else.
Beer & Bats: The Finale
17th September, 5.30pm – 9.30pm

Cody Wilds Quiz Night

Cody Makers: Make do & Mend

Drop in to our makers space for a make do and mend day. Upcycle charity shop finds and fix your favourite closet pieces. You’ll be hemming, darning and mending what you can and what can’t be fixed will be transformed into something beautiful, like a fabric corsage or a no-sew t-shirt tote.
Community Clean-up
23rd September, 10.30am – 12.30pm
Fancy something a bit more physical and want to see the difference you can make? Then why not get your hands dirty and help protect our local green spaces? We will be leading a community clean-up to tackle fly-tipping and improve remnant woodland areas surrounding Cody Dock.

Are you an early bird, or do you just like finding them? Come to Cody Dock in the dawn hours to spot some of our fantastic birdlife.
