RECYCLING
The organisers have created a Green Team who aim to ensure that all rubbish is recycled where possible. When you arrive, you'll be given bags so that you can sort your rubbish out and revellers get to party with a conscience!

Any profits from the festival will be going to the Rame Conservation Trust.

More information will be here when available.
