Envirolution Festival history

Envirolution festivals have been free, inclusive community events since 2010, welcoming people from all backgrounds, ages, circumstances and cultures.

The festivals bring together interactive workshops, inclusive talks, world music, solar-powered stages, wellbeing activities, children’s games, market stalls, community food, local projects and grassroots climate action.

In 2023, Envirolution Festival returned to Platt Fields Park after the disruption of the pandemic, with workshops, talks, music, activities, food and a renewed focus on bringing Manchester’s communities together around practical climate action.

The festival has also worked alongside Platt Fields Market Garden, connecting visitors with food growing, permaculture and practical examples of community-led environmental change.

Previous festival application routes included stalls and vendors, music, talks, workshops and volunteers. The new site keeps those categories visible so the next festival can reopen applications cleanly when dates and capacity are confirmed.
