T-Shirts

Over the past few weeks we've been looking at the quality and range of shirts that we’ll offer at this year’s festival.

Although the designs are still to be finalised, we’ve joined forces with a Fairtrade manufacturer who are supplying a very high quality shirt made from 100% organic Fairtrade certified cotton and manufactured under ethical conditions that meet International Labour Organisation rules.

All t-shirts will be screen printed with high quality inks on both front and back, and there will be a range of designs available across at least 3 different colour choices.

After many comments last year we’re offering a choice of styles, with fitted ladies and children’s shirts available in addition to the standard fit t-shirt.

If you have any comments or have ideas as to what else we could/should have at the festival’s merchandise stall, please feel free to leave a comment on the blog or send an email!

If you are looking for a great place to have your unique and custom artwork done for free check here: thespiritzone.com. Lots of t-shirt styles, and choices of gear to choose from. We worked with them and they are awesome!

Sam, thanks for that, it's an interesting site (especially like the folk up stadium chair!), but sadly in the US so not so good for us!

Why don't you sell the "T" shirts online before the festival. Then we can wear ours at all the other festivals we go too and make everyone envious of the unbeleivable line up for this year. We cant wait.

lostrider - it's something that we have discussed in the past, and I'm sure we will do so in the future. There is a possibility it could happen, but as festival time approaches it gets very busy and there are only so many people and hours in the day!

When the designs are settled we'll post them on the blog and will consider early sales...watch this space (but no promises!)

Great to see Fairtrade clothing! A huge amount of credit to you for that. How about getting the caterers to commit to fairtrade and ethical policies as well?

Ianjmatt - I am keen to do more of this. I have made a small start this year by booking Coffee#1. Their literature says 'We recently took the decision to move all our Coffee#1 house blends across to 100% Organic Fairtrade status. We aim to support family run farms by paying significant premiums for their coffee beans' They will also be providing a selection of 'Clipper' Fairtrade Organic Teas.
