Event Overview
This Halloween, Peterborough City Council is teaming up with the Peterborough Litter Wombles to host a family-friendly litter pick event with a twist.
Running from Railworld through Lower Bridge Street (opposite the law courts) and ending at the Key Theatre, the Halloween Family Litter Pick invites residents to follow a themed trail between 11am and 3pm on Friday 31 October 2025.
Along the way, participants will have the chance to win prizes and explore stands hosted by local organisations, all while helping to keep the city clean.
Costumes are welcome – though not required – and creativity will be rewarded! Prizes will be given for the Best Litter Pick Halloween Costume and the Best Upcycled (recycled) Halloween Costume, encouraging families to think sustainably while having fun.
Whether you come dressed as a spooky ghost or a cleverly repurposed robot, the event promises a lively atmosphere and a great opportunity to get involved in the community. All participants will receive a prize for completing the litter pick.
Beyond the costumes and prizes, the event aims to raise awareness about littering and promote litter picking as a fun, impactful activity. It highlights how small actions can make a big difference for the planet and the local environment.
So grab your litter pickers, don your best Halloween gear, and join the trail to make Peterborough a cleaner, greener place!
Litter pickers and bags will be provided.
