The Plastic Free Festival is an annual festival aimed at helping the public to reduce their single-use plastics through a plastic-free marketplace, with the addition of a festival atmosphere of food and drink and live performances. We want to prove that a festival can have no single-use plastics. This year will be the festival's third year, being held on Sunday 16th July 10am-4pm at New Square Chesterfield market.
The festival requires a stage, along with benches for the public to sit and enjoy the performances.
Please considering donating to enable us to put on a great community festival
What we'll deliver:
- Stage for festival
- Benches for seating
Why it's a great idea:
Bringing live performances to the streets of Chesterfield will bring people out to Chesterfield town centre, supporting local businesses and supporting the local economy. It also means people will get to support independent music artists who get to showcase their talents.
People may come into Chesterfield to listen to the performances, but then as the market is there, they have an opportunity to browse the stalls, who are helping the public to reduce their single-use plastics. This is great for sustainability and encourages behaviour change.
Steps to get it done:
- A stage is sourced
- Benches are sourced
- Stage is funded
- Benches are funded
