BLOODSTOCK GOES GREEN
Bloodstock have teamed up with the Green Tent Company who have produced the first ever 100% recyclable tent (including tent poles). The cleanup operation for any festival is huge and there is so much waste that ends up at landfill sites which are already bursting at the seams. With your help we could recycle many tents as well as all the plastic bottles and cans that litter the entire campsite area over the course of the festival weekend. It's everyone's responsibility to work towards a ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT and save this precious planet of ours.
Therefore if we all help to do our bit by trying to recycle as much waste as possible it'll not only help save the planet but it will also help to keep our clean up costs down and in turn help keep the ticket price low. EVERYONE WINS! These 100% recyclable tents start at just £12.99 for a 2 man dome tent. So when you are ready to purchase your tent to Bloodstock or any other festival this summer CLICK HERE! and do your bit to HELP SAVE THE PLANET WHILST YOU PARTY.
