There was a great response from the public to decide on their favourite Wimborne cup design, with 463 votes cast across the three designs. Becky Dodd of Doddy Design, who created the designs, said, “It was great to see so many people voting for their favourite cup design. I can’t wait to see people with the cup at the Folk Festival and other events around town.”
Steve Cheshire, Wimborne War on Waste, said, “There has been a terrific response to introducing the reusable Wimborne cup at this year’s Folk Festival. We’re really pleased with the final design and hope people will enjoy using the cup at the festival to help cut down plastic waste and litter. We also ask people coming along to the festival to look in their cupboards and bring their reusable festival cups with them.”
Katherine Valenti, Landlady of the Green Man and chair of the Pubwatch group, said, “The pubs are happy to fill festival cups provided they are either Crown or CE marked. There will be posters up in the pubs reminding people of this and where they can buy the Wimborne cup. We wish everyone a happy and more sustainable Folk Festival.”
