Fruitstock - A Very Innocent Festival
by Leonora Oppenheim, London, UK on 07.18.06
Here’s a date for your London summer diary. In just a few weeks those very nice people at Innocent Drinks will be putting on a free festival in the park. Yes Fruitstock is back for the fourth year running and it looks set to be bigger, better and fruitier than ever! There is an excellent music line up, amongst others: Nouvelle Vague, AIM, Arrested Development and Norman Jay. Penguin books are creating a lovely library where you can while away the afternoon reading in a hammock. There will be open-air yoga, knitting circles, poetry slamming and kids entertainment in all shapes and sizes. On top of all of this, yes there’s more, there will be a competition run by Honda to design one of their new hybrids. And can you believe it the winner gets the car that they designed for a month! We’ve praised Innocent for their environmental policies and community projects before and Fruitstock will be no different. All programmes will be printed on 100% recycled paper, all cutlery, cups and plates will be made from recycled materials, there'll be more recycling points than ever before and lots of bike racks. All onsite fuel will be a bio-diesel blend, including the Sea Cow fish and chips van. And finally Innocent will be offsetting carbon dioxide omissions by planting trees. Rock on with your eco-friendly selves! ::Innocent Drinks Recipes ::Innocent ::Fruitstock.
Fruitstock, 5th + 6th August, 12pm - 9pm, Regent's Park, London
That's nice of Honda, you design their new car and you get to drive it for a whole month...
That sucks that I got to fly to London for such a thing (Which my broke-ass won't do), where is the US version of this?
Ya that is pretty cheap of Honda, but smart to ask the people what they want.
I certainly hope the event doesn't end up littering the park like RISE did. It was awful wading through litter that attendees just dropped on the ground.
Don't worry Takeshi. We clear up after ourselves properly, working in conjunction with the council. And we're banning all onsite literature (apart from the event programme itself) to keep things to a minimum, as well as providing more recycling bins than ever before. You won't even know we were there. from dan at innocent
I can't wait for Fruitstock - I love all things Innocent. I hope the open air knitting circle will include knitting the little hats for the bottles.
