We're always looking for ways to make our Greenbelt a little greener, and so in 2008 we introduced an optional environmental levy on all ticket sales - an amount of money that you pay on top of your ticket price to recognise the environmental impact of 21,000 people coming from all over the country to celebrate. This money is protected and used to fund two projects:-

1) We are working with long-standing festival partner Christian Aid to support one of their projects that is helping communities in Nicaragua to adapt to the impacts of climate change. To find out more please click here.

2) We work with various organisations to reduce the festival’s own carbon footprint. For example, introducing composting and recycling systems so that less waste goes into landfill, and providing lower-carbon ways for people to get to the festival.

The levy is optional, so there's no obligation, but we'd obviously love you to give something back - festivals aren't the most ecological of events, so let us do the hard work and get your money to a good place!.

And thank you!
