Cllr Angela Goodwin, Lead Councillor for Environment and Sustainability at Guildford Borough Council, said:
"I'm delighted that Guildford Green Day is returning this year. It's so important that we all take the opportunity to learn more about climate change and raise awareness of environmental issues.
"As a council, we're committed to reaching our Net Zero target by 2030, and we want residents to see how small actions can make a big difference in creating a greener, more sustainable future for Guildford.
