Yes, subject to availability

We have a strict green policy which all traders must adhere to. As a festival that promotes and supports local and seasonal produce, we are greener than most festivals as our food miles are kept to a minimum. Other policies include:

  • No single-use plastic
  • Promoting sustainable farming techniques
  • All meat sold is Red Tractor certified
  • All fish must be MCS rated 2-3
  • Sackers are engaged to manage all waste from the festival, and recycle 95%+ of all waste produced. By NOT separating recycling and non-recycling bins, more is recycled using their special processes
  • Drinking water is provided for water bottle refills

We employ a core team of people during the week of the festival to help set everything up and take key roles during the festival weekend. These roles offer great experience in event management.

We also offer a number of paid opportunities during the weekend of the festival.

If you’re interested, please get in touch!

Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome, but they are not allowed inside any of the shops or marquees. 

We ask that dogs are kept on a short lead at all times, to avoid trip hazards.

Please do not leave your dog in your vehicle.

Unfortunately we are not offering a shuttle bus this year as there has not been enough interest and the cost is too great. Parking is free at the festival and it’s a lovely walk from Aldeburgh!
