Celebrating Our Ocean Heritage this World Oceans Day! 🌊

As Oceanfest creators, we're deeply passionate about the oceans that frame our lives and our event. Our local beaches aren't just shores but treasured sanctuaries embraced by our community 🙏🏽

These waves hold stories of surfers who've left their mark, from local heroes to global champions. Every swell carries a piece of our shared history and connection to the sea.

In our mission to preserve this wonder, charities like Plastic Free North Devon have made monumental strides in ocean protection. Their grassroots efforts echo our commitment to sustainability.

Recognition of our coastline as a World Surf Reserve by organisations like Save The Waves highlights the exceptional nature of our shores. It's a testament to our community's profound impact on marine conservation.

This World Oceans Day, let's reflect on the significance of our oceans as part of our identity and heritage.

Ride the waves, and protect the ocean! 🏄‍♂️

Our £1 cups are a simple yet effective way to support our environmental pledge 🌊

Here’s how it works:

• £1 gets you your first cup and free replacement cups.
• Bring your empty cup back in exchange for a fresh one - so no cost for cups on your rounds.
• Keep Your Cup: If you lose your cup, you’ll need to pay another £1 for a replacement. So, hold on to it—it'll not only save you money but also serve as a great memento of your festival experience.

Thanks for being a legend and doing your part to keep our festival green! 🌿
