About this Event

Join us as we officially launch Barrow’s Tidy Town Fest - The Big Barrow Clean Up , a week-long celebration of community spirit, civic pride, and the incredible organisations and volunteers who help keep Barrow beautiful.

We’re inviting people of all ages and abilities to gather at the iconic Town Hall for an uplifting start to the week. The Mayor will officially open the festival, setting the tone for a series of community clean‑ups across the town.


What to Expect:

This festival is all about restoring civic pride, supporting cleaner streets, and celebrating the groups and individuals who work year-round to make Barrow a place we’re proud to call home. By taking part, you’re helping create a town that supports walking, wheeling, cycling, gathering, socialising, and celebrating — a town that feels good to live in.


Who Can Join?

Everyone. Families, schools, community groups, workplaces, individuals — if you care about Barrow, you’re welcome.
