Green Gathering 2003
We’re just back from the 2003 Gathering feeling very upbeat, inspired and slightly deflated knowing that it doesn’t go on forever. Thanks to the GG Charity crew (pic below), our Trustees Buzz, Tony, Mickey, Buffy and Francis; Chloe (our Campaigns Area co-ordinator), Em, Shane, Linda and Muggs from OTP and all of our other coordinators, crew, stall holders and artists for sterling work during the downpours and sunshine (in equal measures)
Wow – we won!
Congratulations go to everyone involved in helping the Green Gathering to win a prestigious international award for our 2022 event. What a great achievement!
Here’s Linda, Shane and Steve accepting the award – and looking deservedly chuffed
We won the International Greener Festival Award – that’s the top accolade in the world for sustainable events!We also won the International Greener Power Award for demonstrating that it’s possible to run a whole festival – not only the stages but the backstage production, traders and all – using off-grid renewable sources.
We were shocked and soooooo pleased, truly honoured, to be up on stage with A Greener Festival at the Green Events and Innovations conference to receive these awards.We live and breathe sustainable practices and to be recognised at such a level as successful grassroots pioneers is hugely, hugely heart warming; it will help energise us to keep innovating, improving and inspiring other events to ‘green up’.Thanks to A Greener Festival for all your encouragement, and to everyone who contributes to The Green Gathering – this award is yours too.
