Borris Festival have a carbon offset programme to counter air and ground travel, food and beverage consumption, packaging, energy use and waste management, feeding directly back into local resources. For each festival we hold in Borris, we are committed to planting 2000 trees to help offset our footprint.

We have become committed recyclers of everything that makes up your meal. We have a blanket ban on plastic of any kind across the whole festival and we ask you, please, not to bring in plastic bottles or straws. Please bring reuseable bottles and we will provide sources of drinking water. There is no need to ask for your help, you already know it.
