Join our show of hands and demand a Fair Deal!

Throughout the summer, Oxfam will be asking for a show of hands from thousands of music fans, all ready to get some ink in the name of poverty. Show true support for humankind by getting our rock ‘n’ roll Fair Deal knuckle tattoo, having your photo taken, and joining a global movement of people who want those in poverty to be treated fairly in the face of climate change. Find our more than willing tattoo artists (don’t worry, it’s quick and painless!) in waiting at the Oxfam Festival Shop. Once there, you’ll have the perfect opportunity to get creative and customise your own Fair Deal T-Shirt. 

The Oxfam Festival Shop caters for every taste; from wedding dresses, ponchos, hats and suits, to complete hippy, disco and punk rock outfits. The shop is always well stocked with festival essentials to survive whatever the weather decides to do, such as knitted blankets, sleeping bags and warm coats or raincoats and wellies or sunhats, sunglasses and sundresses, and all at great prices. So turn up, join in and have fun!

STAND UP FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENT

Come and join us this summer at the Eco Village and show your support for your environment.

ACCESS TO JUSTICE

Do you believe that the public has the right to be involved in planning decisions that affect our environment?  We do!

We are campaigning for legal changes to ensure that standing up for our environment is seen as a fundamental human right.  We believe that anyone
should have the right to challenge decisions that will have a serious impact on the environment and that excessive costs should not prohibit them from doing so.

We will be submitting a petition to Parliament in Autumn 2010 and we need your support - come along and see us, we can explain more about our
campaign and you can fill in our campaign card.

MEET PENNY

Penny Ann Tarctica will be in the Eco Village so come along and try your hand at the range of activities she will have on offer.
