Our Commitment
We at Púca Festival are committed to minimising our environmental impact. We have been implementing several sustainability initiatives to date that have been successful in reducing our overall Co2 emissions. 2024 will see this continue as we endeavour to reduce our emissions in partnership with our suppliers, artists, traders, and YOU! Our journey has only really begun and will continue to build each year as the festival grows. Aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) and Fáilte Ireland Sustainable Festival Guidelines we can work together to minimise our carbon footprint and ensure to leave no trace.
You can see some of our initiatives here.
Buses provided by Festival
The Green House Gas (GHG) emissions of our festival attendees accounts for 80% of the overall carbon footprint of our festival. With this in mind, we always encourage the use of public transport to both our festival towns. We are delighted that both towns are very well served by existing public bus routes. In addition to these public routes we provide three bespoke festival bus routes for our attendees. With bus ticketing options available alongside concert tickets page.
We are also delighted to provide Shuttle Bus transport between towns to further encourage shared transport.
No Single-Use Plastics at Bars
Fáilte Ireland is working to reduce the use of single-use plastics at events. Púca Festival bars at the Big Top site. are offering reusable drinks containers. A deposit of €2 will be charged at all bars when ordering, which will be refunded upon return of the drink’s container.
Your Plastic is Our Pitch
Púca is proud to partner with Meath Camogie for this year’s festival, supporting their exciting “Your Plastic is Our Pitch” campaign. In line with Ireland’s new Deposit Return Scheme, Meath Camogie aims to collect 2 million plastic bottles, which will help raise funds for their very own playing pitch.
Throughout the festival, you’ll find the Bottle Re-Turn Bins on-site, where you can donate your plastic bottles and cans to this incredible cause.
Let’s work together! Encourage your family and friends to participate, drop off bottles at the onsite collection points.
