How Splashy Fen Music Festival is going plastic-free in 2019
The Splashy Fen Music Festival English has made the decision to go plastic-free from 2019. The decision comes after Glastonbury, the music festival in the UK, announced a two-year process to eliminate single-use plastic.
While the festival has long been conscious of its environmental impact, there is an increasing need to put measures into place that will help Splashy Fen, its service providers and fans contribute to the festivals environmental impact in a positive and sustainable way.

In 2019, Splashy Fen will implement following:
- All food vendors will serve their meal portions in or on biodegradable packaging with biodegradable cups and cutlery – no polystyrene will be allowed.
- Water will all be packaged in biodegradable plant-generated water bottles.
- Corona will be running a “no single-use plastic pledge” at the Corona River Stage.
- The 2019 Splashy Fen cleaning crew, along with an external recycling company headed up by local recycling guru Kevin Macdonagh will be sorting all waste and recycling accordingly.
- Drinks ordered from the Splashy Fen Main Bar will come in a biodegradable cup that customers will need to purchase for a nominal fee.
“As the Splashy Fen community, this is a small starting point for everyone who attends and loves Splashy Fen, through which we can collectively make our mark in a greener world,” says festival director Stu Berry.
For more information of the 30th edition of Splashy Fen, visit the Splashy Fen website. The music festival will take place over the Easter weekend from Thursday, 18 April to Monday, 22 April 2019.
