A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR BUDGET GOES INTO CREATING AND HOLDING THE FESTIVAL ITSELF.
This includes venue hire, building the core infrastructure of the land, and shaping the spaces you experience during the gathering, from the art and décor that bring the site to life, to the sound, lighting and power systems that hold music, ceremony and connection. Alongside this, there are the essential facilities that support everyone on the land: toilets, showers, water points and waste management, all of which grow in scale as the festival grows. These costs exist before, during and after the gathering, and are fundamental to creating a safe, functional and cared-for environment for our community.
