Frampton Cotterell parish council is taking part in the 2025 Great Big Green Week – and we’d love for you to join us!
The Great Big Green Week is a nationwide celebration of community action tackling climate change and working to protect local nature. If you follow our work, you’ll know that these issues are central to Frampton Cotterell parish council and to many living in our community.

Say goodbye to fast fashion and hello to sustainable style at Frampton ReClothed!
Frampton ReClothed is Frampton Cotterell Parish Council’s very own clothing swap and share (or sell) event. With Frampton ReClothed, we want to help local people make sustainable fashion choices to save the planet whilst also saving money. Donate your old clothes so that others can give them a new lease of life. Everyone is welcome to come along and grab some gorgeous new-to-you threads to refresh your wardrobe – even if you are unable to donate items yourself.
Bring along the clothes you no longer wear or want and donate them for other local people to take home for free. Whilst you’re here, have a browse and pick up some new-to-you items to refresh your wardrobe ready for summer! Fashionable, eco-friendly and free? What’s not to love!
Prefer to sell your vintage threads? We’ve got you covered! We’ll have space for sales stalls alongside our free clothes swap. Please be aware that stall places for sales are limited and booking in advance is required for selling at this event. To book a place at a Frampton ReClothed stall, email nature@framptoncotterell-pc.gov.uk.
We can’t wait to see you there – green looks great on you!
Moth Club
Meet the Moths!
Date: Sunday 15 June.
Time: 10AM.
Location: The Brockeridge Centre, BS36 2LQ.
Join volunteers from the Frampton Cotterell Nature Group to meet the moths caught in the parish moth trap!
See the variety of moths living locally in Frampton Cotterell and learn more about these fascinating little creatures.
Everyone is welcome, including children. No need to book, just turn up on the day!
