Programme 2019 >>

The Arran Mountain Festival endoses the work of TAP Arran (Think About Plastic Arran), by reducing its use of single-use plastic and keeping the environment plastic-free. The Festival is committed to eliminating its use of 'single-use plastic' by enouraging participants to use re-useable water bottles, and by promoting the use of a new sandwich/food wrap developed by a local bee keeper and committee member (for sale during the Festival). The Festival, wherever possible, will not use plastic plates, cups or cutlery.
