A MESSAGE FROM
ENCOURAGE THE NEXT MICHAEL EAVIS
GENERATION
Since 2009 we’ve worked with local
schools in Somerset to produce
beautiful school banners. For 2014,
we asked schools in the local area
to decorate large hessian panels
under the theme “A Cleaner,
Greener, Fairer Planet” in
partnership with our three major
charities: WaterAid, Greenpeace
and Oxfam. You can find the
banners in the Park field and
surrounding areas.
FIVE THINGS YOU CAN
DO DURING THE FESTIVAL TO
LOVE THE FARM AND LEAVE NO TRACE
1 Buy a reusable water bottle to save on
single-use plastics.
2 Pack up all your belongings when you
leave and take everything home.
3 Use the recycling pens provided in

4 Use the toilets provided and don’t pee
