Recycling Your Cups
Delivered in conjunction with One Planet One Chance - the UK's only carbon-neutral reusable cup solution - supporters will be able to assist Trent Bridge’s efforts to become increasingly environmentally friendly with each drink they purchase.
An extra £1 charged on your first drink of the day will cover the cost of washing their cup for re-use, while you will receive a fresh eco-cup at no extra cost when returning your cup to make a new drinks purchase.
By dropping your cup into a deposit bin at the end of your visit, you will play a significant part in helping Trent Bridge to reduce plastic waste by ensuring cups can be re-used on future matchdays. Any surplus from the initial £1 will be donated to the Trent Bridge Community Trust. Find out more about where your money goes here…
Entertainment
Music will add to the atmosphere from 3:30pm, in the lead up to the impending show in the sky.
What if there is bad weather?
In the unfortunate event of bad weather conditions, there is a possibility that the event may sadly be postponed - however, your booking will automatically be moved to a new date. All customers will be contacted by Yuup via email or SMS to confirm the new date the event will take place on.
