Chilfest Founder and Director, Steve Butcher, said: “The protection of our environment is a top priority for Chilfest and we hope festival goers will help us to make the event our most eco-friendly yet.

“Visitors are welcome to bring their own stainless-steel water bottles which can be refilled free of charge at water points, or they can buy Chilfest branded stainless-steel bottles on site and through the website.

“By also serving all food in fully biodegradable containers, we know we'll make a huge impact on the festival's carbon footprint this year.”

The festival, which takes place on Friday July 3, and Saturday, 4 July, will see a whole host of musical legends taking to the stage on the Saturday.
