We encouraged sustainability and reduced plastic waste as Goatfest’s Recyclable Cups Sponsor this year.
Now in its 15th year, the three-day festival took place from 23rd to 25th August and featured non-stop live music including performances from headliners Fuse ODG, Tunde of Lighthouse Family, star of The Greatest Showman, Keala Settle, and more. On top of this, there were a variety of activities for festival attendees to take part in, including a children’s cinema showing, dance workshop and a morning yoga session for the campers and glampers.
Goatfest saw a footfall of over 2,500 people this year. Our sponsorship was part of our ongoing commitment to giving back to the Codicote community and was used to fund the festival’s recyclable cups.
Rowan Patel, Founder of Goatfest said: “As a self-funded grassroots event, the support received from Taylor Wimpey was invaluable for this year’s event. Sustainability is a big priority for us and for Taylor Wimpey to get behind this issue and support our reusable cup initiative is a real positive. The opportunity also allowed us to raise additional money for our chosen Charity Partner, Willow Foundation, by asking for a £1 donation from customers per cup, with all proceeds being given directly to the charity. We’re hoping our relationship with Taylor Wimpey will continue for many years to come as we continue to grow Goatfest.”
Paresh Pandya, Sales Manager at Taylor Wimpey North Thames said: "We're delighted to not only help fund a fun day out for the Codicote community, but also sponsor the sustainable effort to reduce the plastic waste produced by a large-scale event such as this. We hope everyone had a fantastic day at Goatfest and that our recyclable cups helped visitors to reduce their plastic waste.”
