See full programme line up of 2026 below!
Envirolution — a truly community-based and free festival dedicated to increasing understanding, connection, and engagement with the natural world, came to Aberdeen and we enjoyed it so much in 2024 and 2025 that we’re bringing it back on Saturday, 5 September 2026.
Our mission (that we want you to be part of) is to support all communities in the transition towards a more sustainable future.
Founded in Manchester in 2009, Envirolution has made a significant impact on local communities and the broader environment. We invite everyone to get involved with the launch event in Aberdeen. Together, we can tackle climate change, address the mental health crisis, and create more inclusive communities.
