Help us save the planet, one festival at a time – we’re looking for volunteers who are full of energy, passionate about the environment and enjoy engaging with people about green issues.

If you would like to register your interest to volunteer, please email gmessengers@festivalrepublic.com and we will let you know when applications for 2024 open.

Music Festivals have an impact on the environment because of the transport taken, energy they use,  waste generated, water use as well as the food and drink consumed. The Show Must Go On Report 2020 shows that the biggest impacts are travel, energy and waste.

As set out in our Sustainability Charter we have a responsibility to preserve the live music experience for generations to come and the opportunity to use our platform to inspire global environmental action.

Julie’s Bicycle

We worked very closely with Julie’s Bicycle while they ran the environmental impact report. In their last reporting season, 2019, we were very pleased to be awarded 4 out of 5 stars, thank you to everyone for participating. The Creative Green report can be downloaded here.

We are also proud to be one of the Vision: 2025 festivals committed to reducing our carbon emissions. You can read more about the Vision: 2025 pledge here.

Travelling to the festival makes up 80% of the total carbon emissions generated (source: The Show Must Go On Report, 2015). You could travel by lower carbon forms of travel such as coach, train with direct shuttle buses to the festival or carshare to help reduce this. See our travel page for all options.

We run a three-bin system at the festival, which means every recycling point in the campsites and main arena will be formed by 3 bins:

FOOD AND COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING
When you buy food from the traders, everything your food comes in is compostable so plates, cutlery and napkins can be placed in the compost bins along with the food scraps. Please make sure NO PLASTIC goes into the compost.

BOTTLES, BEER CUPS AND CANS
Plastic bottles, aluminium cans, newspapers, magazines and clean and dry cardboard (no used greasy pizza boxes as these do not recycle).

EVERYTHING ELSE
There should be minimal left over that goes into this bin.

When packing ready for the festival weekend, remember to pack wisely and only bring essential items, please do not bring any single use plastic (plastic bottles are allowed but please keep them to a minimum). Thank you for taking your tents home with you.

If you want to hire a tent rather than bring your own, Pink Moon offer pre-pitched tents.

If you have any broken tents chairs, gazebos or empty batteries, please take them to the Recycling Points.

Unopened non-perishable foods can be donated at the campsite AirHubs.

Please bring your refillable bottles to refill at the taps provided.

We will not be using our reusable cups this year. It is only possible to use our much-loved Latitude branded reusable cups once per year at the festival, so we have taken the decision to not make any more of them. This is because they need to be used up to 14 times to outweigh the environmental impacts of paper cups (Source: The Making Waves Guide to Reusable Cups at Festivals & Events, RAW Foundation (2018)).

CUP, BOTTLE AND CAN DEPOSIT RETURN SCHEME (ARENA ONLY)

The rest of our cups will be paper this year and all paper cups, bottles and cans bought in the arena at Latitude will have a 10p refundable deposit included in the price. This is to encourage them to be returned for recycling. Return a minimum of five paper cups, bottles, or cans for a 50p refund onto card. Return point locations are as above.

Please redeem your deposit before 23:00 on Sunday night to avoid disappointment. Empty all contents, no crushed or broken bottles/cups.

Bar 1 – Obelisk Bar (Main Stage right) – Closes at 23:00 Friday to Sunday

Bar 3 – Welcome Bar (Arena side of Sunrise Bridge) – Closes at 02:00 Thursday to Saturday, and 01:00 on Sunday
