Improving sustainability at Staycation live

We’ve been aware for some time at Staycation Live that we need to do whatever we can to improve out sustainability credentials. It’s up to all of us to do what we can to extend the planet’s life, and festivals and events aren’t always the most environmentally friendly.

This year we’re able to announce that we’re another step closer to being a plastic free festival. We’re trying to remove single-use plastic from the event completely, so this year our bar will be using these great looking re-usable cups.

It’s a pretty simple system – When you buy your first pint of delicious beer or cider you pay a £1 deposit on top of the price of your drink. When you want another one, you simply bring back your cup and get a refill. At the end of the day you can bring your cup back and we’ll return your deposit, or you get to keep your Staycation Live cup as a souvenir! Everyone’s a winner, especially the planet!

This year we’ve got something special for all you beer (and cider) fans! We’ll be running our very own beer festival on site with beer and ale from all your favourite Surrey breweries.

We’ll be featuring beers from Langham, Crafty, Tillingbourne, Firebird, Tilford, Frencham, Dorking, Jabru BevCo, and Yellow Sky, with something for everyone from IPA to Mild and Craft Lager to Best Bitter.

We’ll also have our friends from The Star, Godalming down, bringing their Staycation Cider Festival to the park, right next door to the beer festival.

Cheers!

With only 304 days to go we’re thinking hard and planning next year’s festival here at Staycation Live towers. It’s the first weekend in August again, so get the 3rd and 4th of August in those diaries, and don’t forget our opening party on the evening of the 2nd.

We want to hear from you about what you want to see at next year’s event. What bands do you want to see? What else could we provide to make your weekend extra special? What did the kids like last year? What did Gran say would be nice to see? Get in touch via our contact page with all your suggestions and we’ll do everything we can to make them happen. Staycation Live is your event, after all!
