Power

We’re proud to announce that all stages, bars and lighting will be powered by renewable green fuel (HVO) to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions, by a staggering 90%. The ethically sourced fuel is supplied by JR Rix & Sons Ltd and has been validated by our principal partners and founders Oh Yes Net Zero and University of Hull.

Solar Power Stages

We continue to utilise a solar-powered Youth Stage which has had continued support from Wilberforce College since 2018.

Travel

Festival organisers are also working on a sustainable travel plan with Hull Trains who sponsor the Dead Bod Stage, offering free travel to the festival - see details here. They are also working with other transport operators alongside Hull City Council, in a bid to encourage people to ditch their cars and use public transport.

Signage

MRN’s festival signage is made from fluted polypropylene which has a lighter carbon footprint than the production of many other types of plastic and is considered more environmentally friendly than other plastics currently available.

Polypropylene is reusable and 100% recyclable and doesn’t release any toxic chemicals in the recycling process.

MRN are currently in the process of switching from PVC based banner materials which are not eco-friendly and all stage scrims are printed on polyester based materials which are 100% recyclable.
