Greenbelt Festival which takes place in the grounds of Boughton House, near Kettering in Northamptonshire, from Friday 24th to Monday 27th August 2018, has announced it's banning single-use plastic.

They're targeting single-use plastic bottles, which they're banning from the festival.

Festival goers are being encouraged to bring their own re-usable bottle - or they can buy on site - which will be able to be refilled from one of many on-site drinking water taps. The single-use bottle ban applies absolutely everywhere onsite – so volunteers, crew and artists will also be sipping from reusable bottles.

Fizzy soft drink bottles are also banned, although drinks will still be available, in more-recyclable cans.

Nice one!

Greenbelt Festival is an all-age inclusive friendly arts festival with its roots in the Christian faith which offers a host of world music, international and home-grown acts from big names to new artists.
