OUR AIMS FOR 2018
GO PLASTIC FREE!
ZERO WASTE: No one-use food or drink items - reusable plates, bowls, cutlery, pint glasses and coffee cups
NO PLASTIC We have invested in reusable enamel plates and bowls, metal cutlery and tin cups. All our food outlets will be using these. We are attempting to ban wasteful one use serveware. Please also bring your own cutlery bags - washing up stations will be available. You can purchase sets of cutlery from our festival shop, including our brand spanking new laser etched stainless steel 750ml water bottles! Water refill points will be available on site.
Recycling Disco: We ask everyone to partake in our "Recycling Disco". You Bring It, You Bin It... but whilst we do, we are entitled to be entertained by bands and DJs... We're not hiding WASTE behind the scenes.... Your ticket includes £5 deposit for 20mins in the Recycling Disco - refundable after your shift. You can be a hedonist and forgo your time in the Recycling Disco, and your deposit will then pay for others to tidy up.
Music For Everyone: We are a festival put on by musicians for musicians. Bring instruments. Our focus in 2017 is YOU and US playing music... We will have plenty of Jam Spaces.
TRANSPARENCY: Our accounts are published online. We don't do this festival to get rich to buy shiney things we don't need. We do this to help the farm and help each other - we support local businesses, small independent businesses, startups, artists, musicians and traders. We are registered Not-For-Profit - we can not be bought or sold to any hedge fund or venture capitalists.
SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL: As E.F. Schumacher teaches, we will not grow the event. Our measure is our well-being and not our "profit".
PLEASE GET THE COACH!!!!! We are subsidising it even more... Personal Vehicle Travel in the most polluting aspect of ANY event.
TRAVEL LIGHT: We are offering the opportunity to hire good quality tents and mats at a subsidised rate. These tents have been harvested from massive festivals cleaned and reused.
We are proud members of the Association of Independent Festivals and The Northern Festivals Network. We also believe it's time to Take A Stand!
.
Take A Stand: It‘s time to take a stand for Europe, and indeed for the whole world. To create a movement encouraging social cohesion in our society, promoting awareness and tolerance for all cultures, genders, races, religions, sexual orientations, colours and origins. To motivate people to participate in politics and social activities, speaking up for peaceful dialogue, humanism, tolerance and mutual understanding, to make the world a better place for every single individual and for all of us.
