Creamfields Festival Thinks Green for Festival Goers and Charity

Saturday 23^rd and Sunday 24^th August ‘08

Daresbury, Halton, Cheshire

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!

 Always at the frontier of dynamic dance festivals, Creamfields reveal another move that sets them apart as the UK’s freshest festival by leaps and bounds – coinciding with this years World Environmental Day on 5^th 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.

Ali Clabburn of liftshare.com says: “Festival-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 it’s win-win for everybody.   “It’s 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!”

Creamfields celebrates 10 years as the UK’s #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 10^th anniversary, festival goers are being encouraged to dress up, be it fancy dress, prom dresses, top hat and tails or, and here’s 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 ‘Fields – here’s 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 ‘tent donation station’ 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 ‘green’ 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 minimize 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 

Creamfields are delighted to announce our initiatives on World Environment Day. Global celebrations of this day include street rallies, bicycle parades, green concerts, tree planting and more. Creamfields are at the forefront of groundbreaking events and the breathtaking festival site in Daresbury, Cheshire is set for a stunning weekend for August Bank Holiday.

“They have Boutique camping in the form of pod-pads with solar powered lights. Perfect”
