Solfest 2008

 

Wow! What a weekend!

Even though things got a bit hectic at times, especially when it came to getting everyone onto the site, it appears that, once in, everyone enjoyed themselves and you had the splendid experience which we wanted you to have. Huge thanks must go to everyone who came along and gave their time freely to help us run the festival and in particular to all the local farmers, landowners and owners of large pieces of machinery who rallied around when we were getting tight for space and things were getting a bit sticky - we know just how lucky we are to have your support.

Thanks also to all the musicians, artists, DJs, traders, caterers, workshop providers who brought their many skills to make Solfest such a unique and memorable experience for everyone.

 

But finally, our biggest thanks must go to you, the punters, who came along with your smiles and your love and turned our big empty Cumbrian field into a festival which ranks among the best of them. We are so proud to know you.

We make it happen, but you make it special.

See you in 2009

 

 

After Solfest 2006 we sent 3.58kg of waste to landfill for every person on site. Thanks to your determination and hard work, this year we are delighted to be able to announce that we have only had to send 2.02kg to landfill for every person on site! All the rest of our waste has been recycled or reused in some way! This is very good, but lets see if we can can that figure even lower in 2008. There's no stopping us now!
