In addition to working towards becoming a sustainable venue, we run an annual ‘Think Green’ campaign which incorporates a community initiative named ‘Stop and Donate’, the programme collected over 2,500kg of items for donation to the Red Crescent for recycling in its last cycle. 

Our in-house sustainability initiatives include:

Compost

Recycling used cooking oil onsite to create biofuel to power all onsite diesel powered engines i.e. buses, cherry pickers and forklifts.

Outdoor Space

Composting food waste: diverted over 75 tons of food waste from landfill last year
