Music Festivals including Nature 2024 (UK)

Thinking of grabbing your wellies and heading off to the fields for a weekend of music this summer?

Here’s some of our top picks of music festivals that are kind to Nature…

*** sidenote: we know these festivals are ticketed, and sometimes extremely
expensive, but volunteer opportunities are available to register for - 
a few hours work means a free ticket, and loads of time connecting with 
the outdoors! Look on their websites for opportunities with charities, 
organisers, transport & operations***

Glastonbury Festival:

We’re truly sorry, we know how hard it is to get a ticket to this festival but it still must be top of our list. You know the drill, it’s legendary. Let’s leave it there before anybody gets too upset…
