Announcing our 2026 events!

2026 is a milestone year for CPRE Staffordshire, celebrating 90 years of standing up for our countryside, and so we are planning a variety of exciting events to mark to occasion.

Our events aim to be accessible, and inclusive to all ages and audiences, engaging everyone in the importance of Protecting, Promoting and Enhancing the unique Staffordshire countryside.
