We are very pleased to be awarded a Commended Award from A Greener Festival in 2014 and an Improvers Award in 2016 and 2017. We were also shortlisted for the Greener Festival Award at the UK Festival Awards in 2014 and 2016. Thumbs up to all the staff, volunteers, traders, performers and revellers who do their bit to keep the farm clean and green.
You can check out our full Environmental Policy or read on for a few highlights…
Hydrate and save the planet! Join our refill campaign, and we’ll keep your water bottles happy. Arriving customers get recycling and rubbish bags , tidiness is next to festivaliness! We’ve got bins for all sorts of recycling including disposable vapes, but sorry glass, you gotta stay home. Don’t worry, we’ll still recycle it for you! We’ve implemented a reusable cup system at our bars.
Want to make some new festival friends whilst saving on petrol? Consider car sharing, a wonderfully green scheme for getting to the Farm. Check out our official Liftshare page to register your journey.
You can also offset your emissions when you purchase your ticket through donating to onboard.earth.
If you want to avoid bringing your own gas guzzler to the event then you should know a free shuttle bus runs from Bromyard to the festival site throughout arena opening hours or you could book a place on Blueline Taxi’s mini bus from Hereford
We support the Love Your Tent campaign which is designed to bond people with their portable homes, and encourage them to re-use, instead of discard. 86% of total festival waste comes from the campsites. We’re committed to reducing that percentage, so please @loveyourtent and #justtakeithome. Remember that flimsy pop up tents often can’t be donated to charities. If you #loveyourtent then join the movement and follow the tent commandments!
Rather than buying a tent for the weekend why not consider hiring one from Pitched For You?
You’ll also see an exciting range of green activities for all ages, from funky junk workshops to willow weaving. Be sure to check out the listings for your event to keep up to date with everything!
