Always at the frontier of dynamic dance festivals, Creamfields reveal another move that sets them apart as the UKâs freshest festival by leaps and bounds- coinciding with this years World Environmental Day on 5th June.
Having already released one of the freshest festival line ups of the summer including Kasabian, Fatboy Slim, Ian Brown, Paul van Dyk, Tiesto and Underworld, Creamfields will also be doing their bit for the environment.
For the first time the festival has teamed up with Liftshare.com, a company whose aim is to make people aware and travel efficient. This partnership will help cut car emissions by introducing friendly festival-goers to each other online before the event so they can share car journeys and make friends early and save money in the process!
Ali Clabburn of liftshare.com says: âFestival-goers have long cared about the environment, and love the idea of car-sharing to get there. It saves money, cuts congestion and reduces your CO2 emissions - so itâs win-win for everybody. âItsâs great to be working with Creamfields to bring their festival-goers a greener way of getting there. It costs nothing to join and just means the fun can start even earlier as they find new friends to share the journey with!â
Creamfields celebrates 10 years as the UKâs #1 dance festival, whose expertise and experience has led to creating the highest quality events with the most up-for-it crowds. With a reputation as one of the friendliest festivals on the circuit, Creamfields has unveiled plans to get festival goers environmentally involved and creative whilst enjoying a fantastic festival weekend.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary, festival goers are being encouraged to dress up, be it fancy dress, prom dresses, top hat and tails or, and hereâs the fun bit, home made outfits made from recycled clothes. Those lycra shorts, green wigs, tutus and platform shoes all have a place in the âFields â hereâs your chance to parade them one last time! After enjoying the sight of everyone being suitably silly Creamfields will be providing containers for you to throw the old outfits into which will be donated to Oxfam at the end.
Creamfields will also be donating any tents that get left behind to charity. The âtent donation stationâ will be put to good use, with any tents left behind from the event sent to parts of the world where they are needed most to provide shelter.
As well as encouraging people to make use of the recycling bins around the site, The Residents Bar, that will be home to the unsung heroes of clubland is also making its âgreenâ contribution, with an arena made out of sustainable materials and runs on a biomass generator and wind turbines that guarantees great times and no waste.
Other initiatives include;
Providing festival goers with recycling bags to use in the campsites
Solar Powered beach huts and pod pads for luxury accomadation in Boutique camping
Pump Powered taps to minimise water wastage
Providing water waste containers so contaminated water is not poured on the floor
Traders using recycling and biodegradable bin bags
Food and drink stands using biodegradable or re-usable plates and cups
All waste to be separated and recycled off site
