Greensand Festival
The Greensand Country Festival 2023 will kick off on May Day (Monday, 1st May 2023), with the final day of the festival held on Saturday 10th June 2023, marked by Runaway Adventure’s Greensand Country 50km Ultra Trail.
Taking place across the landscape, from Leighton Buzzard to Gamlingay, the festival is a celebration of the distinct, beautiful and loved Greensand Country, and helps to encourage those living within the area to get out and explore the outstanding countryside on their doorstep. The festival will showcase a diverse and exciting programme of events and activities, with something to suit every age and interest.
