Y Not Festival has announced a new campaign for 2019  ‘Keep The Peaks Green’ it aims to target sustainability for the festival by cutting out plastic, boosting on recycling and reducing landfill waste. The campaign will encourage customers to hand in litter, take tents home with them or sign up to use tents already on site at the new Pitch Village. 
 
The initiative includes: 

Litter Bond - All bookings will have a compulsory £10 deposit per booking. This will be refunded in full when you hand in a bag of rubbish at the festival. 
Plastics - All single used plastics will once again be prohibited for traders.  
Tents - Y Not will be introducing our new camping zone Pitch Village, this will offer festival goers a tent, put it up for you and put it back down.
 
Organisers are also requesting festival goers to reduce the amount of plastic they bring, and encouraging people to bring refillable water bottles, and use the water points on site.

Y Not Festival organisers have said,

“We are lucky enough to have the stunning setting of the Peak District as our site and so it’s integral that we protect it for years to come. The ‘Keep The Peaks Green’ scheme offers plenty of opportunity to do this in simple yet effective ways and we’re really looking forward to customers getting on board!”  

Y Not Festival takes place from Thursday - 25th - Sunday 28th July at Pikehall Derbyshire, the first line up information will be released early February, tickets go back on sale on Tuesday 29th January.
