SUSTAINABILITY

AN INCLUSIVE & SUSTAINABLY MINDED FESTIVAL

Love Saves the Day is our love letter to music and its community. We take pride in producing a high quality, inclusive event that nourishes the grassroots scene here in Bristol, and can be enjoyed by everyone who wants to attend.

 

We believe we need to act urgently on the climate and nature emergency, in a way that is fair for everyone. Reducing the impact we have on the planet is a priority in every element of the festival, from planning and production to partnerships and marketing. We carry a responsibility to ensure future generations can experience the joy of live music and being together at a festival. 

 

​We want everyone to arrive at Love Saves the Day with an attitude of care towards each other, our beautiful home at Ashton Court Estate, and the wider environment. After all, there is No Music on a Dead Planet.

LOVE SAVES TOMORROW

YOUR PLEDGE

SAY NO TO FAST FASHION

It’s estimated that 7.5 million single-use outfits are purchased each year for festivals, while fast fashion causes suffering for people and planet. 

 

What can you do? Shop second hand, charity shops & vintage. Support local and independent businesses. Borrow from friends (or do a clothes swap!). Or, get creative and make your own festival garms. 

Travel on foot, cycle, or take the Love Bus

Travel to an event typically causes up to 80% of a festival's total emissions. Ouch!

 

The easiest and safest way to travel to Love Saves the Day is via the Love Bus. Travelling via the Love Bus is also carbon neutral and funds environmental restoration projects! 


In 2024, LSTD balanced 25.75 tonnes CO2e from transport (including from the event build, our crew, artists, and the Love Bus), with the help of our partner onboard:earth. This planted 103 trees, and protected 31 acres of threatened rainforest! For more info about the Love Bus & to buy tickets click here.

No excuse for single use

Bring a reusable waterbottle with you. You can fill it up all day for free. 

 

Please don’t bring items like single use vapes or glitter, microplastics release toxins which pollute ecosystems. Some of Britain's rarest wildlife call Ashton Court home, such as the Green-flowered Helleborine, Marsh Tits and Skylarks - don’t trash it.

LEAVE NO TRACE

Use the bins. Bin your butts. We have FREE portable ashtrays on offer at the festival supplies shed. Go get ‘em!

COMPOST YOUR PLATES

Once you've fed yourself, you can feed the soil too. This year, all serveware is compostable: pop your plates, napkins and cutlery in the food recycling bins, and we will give them a new life as nutrient rich compost.

Treat each other and the site with respect and care
