Sunrise Celebration 2006

From Virtual Festivals

“…The site itself looks undeniably beautiful. It is also refreshing and different and unlike many other festivals that spring up, this has a fully-holistic plan, realised across acres of flat, dry landscape…It seems clear that on the one hand, Sunrise has marked itself out by its attention to the smallest details and on the other, by its desire to provide a template for a sustainable, non-polluting festival…It was clear that it was having a good influence on those people in attendance, I searched quite hard, but on the first evening couldn't find one piece of anything which was clearly identifiable as litter – I found that uplifting and quite extraordinary – close to 5,000 people and not one scrap – Sunrise should win an award for that.”

From E-Festivals

"…Family Gathering are the organisers, and they have geared this festival towards people who want to get involved in all things alternative and green; I meet many punters who are there mostly for things other than music. Imagine the Glastonbury Green Fields taking over a whole festival and you get the idea…Children are well catered for too.”

Sunrise is the UK’s leading sustainable festival and won the Shelter Award for The Most Socially Responsible Festival at the UK Festival Awards (2006).
