Bristol Water’s much-loved Water Bar is back at Glastonbury Festival this week, offering free refills to the 200,000+ festivalgoers heading to Worthy Farm with their reusable bottles – helping to save thousands of single-use plastic bottles from going to waste.
The Water Bar supports Glastonbury’s long-standing ban on single-use plastic bottles by cutting down on rubbish and promoting sustainable water use – helping to keep the iconic festival at the forefront of green events worldwide.
Susan Davy, CEO of Pennon, said: “Festivals like Glastonbury bring people together – and we’re proud to be part of that by providing something simple but essential: fresh, clean water. Sustainability is core to everything we do, and the Water Bar is just one of the ways we’re making a difference on the ground this summer.
"Providing water to over 200,000 festival goers, crew members, volunteers and emergency services who work together to make this event such a special one is a huge undertaking. I’m proud of each and every one of our teams who are helping to supporting events this Summer.”
With a proud history of supporting Glastonbury Festival, the Bristol Water team will be on site throughout the five-day event, providing water to festivalgoers, volunteers, emergency services and crew who all help bring the event to life.
The Water Bar features three taps and is designed to be easily accessible for people of all ages. It will be open daily from 10am to 6pm at Worthy View, and staffed by Bristol Water’s dedicated Engagement Team.
After Glastonbury, the Water Bar will be heading to Keynsham Music Festival and Bristol Pride later this summer.
