Warwick Folk Festival and Action 21 working together for a greener Warwick.
Warwick Folk Festival and Leamington sustainability organisation Action 21 are working together to provide a full recycling service at this year’s Festival on July 23-25.
Formed in 1996 as an Agenda 21 group in response to the international Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Action 21 promotes sustainable living in Warwickshire. Warwick Folk Festival is pleased to be part of the growing list of organisations who now work with Action 21 to create a better quality of life through greener living.
Now in its 31st year, Warwick Folk Festival attracts fans and musicians from across the world to enjoy three days of music, dance and entertainment for all ages. The main Festival events take place in the grounds of Warwick School on Myton Road, Warwick, which is also the location for the craft stalls, food stalls and campsite accommodating thousands of Festival visitors and artists.
For this year’s event, Action 21 will be providing their expertise in the recycling of waste on the site, maximising its use to promote sustainability. Throughout the Festival weekend, Action 21’s team of volunteers will collect and recycle litter and provide information to visitors about their local projects and initiatives.
Says Warwick Folk Festival spokesman, Dave Allton, ‘This is an exciting development for us and something that we’ve wanted to do for a long time. Our partnership with Action 21 will ensure that the Festival has a positive impact not only on the economy and community life of our host town but also on its environment.’
