    AIRFIELD ESTATE CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE SUSTAINABILITY STATEMENT

    Sustainability is front and centre of all that we do at Airfield, and our Christmas Experience is no exception. We are committed to creating a unique and wonderful event with a minimal environmental impact. From the concept design to responsible management of all event waste, we take sustainability seriously and work with partners who share these goals.

    Sustainable practices

    • Key installations are designed, and hand crafted in-house
    • Upcycled items of furniture and resources are widely used
    • Our priority is to use natural materials (we use minimal plastic, and no tinsel)
    • Materials for many onsite activities are sourced from Recreate.ie
    • Printed collateral is kept to a minimum, and printed on recycled paper where possible
    • Gifts from Santa are selected for their sustainability, and minimal external packaging
    • All wooden gifts are made from sustainable wood
    • Selected books are printed on recycled paper using vegan ink
    • Gifts from Santa are presented in a reusable, Calico drawstring bag
    • Elf costumes are sourced from charity shops (mainly tweeds, corduroy, and velvet)
    • Many elf accessories are hand-knit in-house
    • Hot chocolate is made using milk from Airfield’s Dromartin Jersey Herd
    • All beverage cups and utensils are 100% compostable
