How can I make our next community event more sustainable?

I have been arranging sustainable events in Chester for around 7 years, we have also held an event in Grosvenor Park for the last few years.

There are now huge festivals with thousands of attendees that use sustainable principles. The general principles will be the same for any event from a community one day event to a three day festival in the middle of the countryside.

Eco Communities started by organising the Sustainable Cheshire Fair, and events as part of Great Big Green Week. We are now supporting events and activities within Cheshire to become more sustainable.

We have created a guide based on our experiences and have been able to include a hire part to this project for 2024.

Our Returnables Hire

A returnable cup scheme is a simple but effective way to make events more sustainable, cost-effective, and convenient for attendees. By implementing this scheme, event organisers can help to reduce waste, minimise environmental impact, and promote a more eco-friendly culture.

We have a stock of both our Cheshire Cup for hot drinks and our Reusable pint & half pints for cold drinks.

These can be hired for community events in Cheshire. This will result in a saving to the planet and for you in waste disposal.

The hire fee is dependant on the type of event, the organiser, units and type of reusables needed.
