Saturday 5 July 12pm-5pm FREE
In and around More Music

Just three degrees of temperature rise would result in environmental disaster but our three degrees of influence can make a difference.

This will be a vibrant festival produced with our Eco-Collective featuring live music, artwork, fun creative workshops for all ages and abilities, informative stalls from environmental organisations and much more, all themed on climate change and the small positive actions we can all make as a community to make a difference.

Organisations involved include Food Futures, Lancaster University, Ludus Dance, Natural England, Green Rose CIC, Escape2Make and Lancaster & Morecambe College.

This year, our Eco Collective of young creative producers have been working with the More Music team to devise and programme the Three Degrees Festival, learning about climate change, how it relates to the music industry and the local environment. It will also feature music created with local primary school children as part of residencies at West End School and Sandylands School.

If every person armed with a key message influences another person who then influences a third we can reach a huge amount of people very quickly. Working together, in this way, we can help tackle the climate crisis.
