There are many ways to get involved with Nottingham Green Party
Green Gatherings
You can meet other members and supporters for friendly chats at our monthly Green Gathering! We feature political discussions on various topics, with special guests.
The gatherings are usually at 7.30pm on the first Monday of the month.
Since the Covid-19 pandemic we have held hybrid meetings using the Zoom platform. Attendees are welcome to join us either in-person or online!
Details vary – join our mailing list to be notified of where and when we are meeting this month!
The address of our venue is:
Nottingham Writers Studio
The Carousel

August and December meetings are usually socials, and may take place at different locations: members and supporters will be kept informed by email.
All are invited to attend!
If you have any accessibility requirements please let us know. The venue is fully wheelchair-accessible. If you would like a lift by car to the meeting, or you would be more comfortable meeting someone at a venue more familiar to you to accompany you to the meeting, please also let us know.
