Reducing our environmental impact
We use reusable BibSNAPs at our events to reduce landfill waste. You can find out more here.
We are aiming to reduce the number of single-use cups at our events. Bringing your own cup, flask or bottle is a great way to help with this.
Don’t litter! We want to leave this beautiful place in the same pristine condition we found it, so please use the bins on course or carry your rubbish with you (that means gel packets too!)
