Natural Event an award winning pioneer in composting loos for festivals & Kendal Calling have announced a new partnership offering 100% composting toilets in the campsite for free. The multi-award winning festival has confirmed a long term commitment to work with Natural Event, the company behind the ever popular Pootopia and from this year’s festival onwards, all toilets in the camp ground will be the very same composting loos that have been present for the last few years, except free to the public. 

The loos promise to be clean, odour free and a great step in the right direction to please people for their moment for the movement.  All patrons need to remember is One Cup cover up – one cup of saw dust to cover the deposit and let time, mother nature and worms take care of business. 

Kendal Calling Promoter Andy Smith comments; “Kendal Calling is our home and  we need to feel proud of every aspect of it. We've listened to people’s feedback and scratched our heads to come up with a solution that gives us facilities to be proud of. 

Thinking back to 2011 when 90.5% of you said our festivals toilets were 'Similar or better than other festivals', a whopping 89.7% of you said that switching to composting toilets would improve your festival experience - with a whopping 50.7% saying it would 'vastly improve' your experience. 

We're really proud to announce our new partnership with long term Kendal Calling friend Pootopia, we've got lots of trust for them to take this forward with us. 

For fans of crap raps, pooeaoke and their dumping tunes they'll be bringing the Pootopia soundsystem back again so there'll be more epics rap battles here to keep you entertained.  

Hamish Skermer, the founder of the world wide movement and Natural Event, says “It’s just fantastic that Andy and the team are making a statement, not only to their patrons but to the wider festival community about the suitability of our loos for their festival” 

In announcing the three year deal Mr Skermer continues “Kendal Calling will be the largest festival in the UK to have 100% composting loos for a green field camp site. We have been at the forefront for 13 years, with 350 events in six countries, and absolutely welcome Kendal Calling to work together to achieve this significant milestone “ 

“Not only is it a great vindication of our hard work at festivals but also enables us to continue with our work in Haiti and Uganda where we are assisting programs to implement safe sanitation for those who really need it.” 

From the glorious surrounds of Hackthorpe Deer Park, to emergency and developing communities, Kendal Calling is playing a big role to help Natural Event in its mission to ‘Change the world from the bottom up!”
