Car Sharing

Car sharing is a great way to take climate action. In 2024, our footprint from Audience, Crew and Artist travel was nearly 500 tonnes of CO2e, which equates to over 50% of the festival’s impact!

• Sign up and verify your email, or log in if you already have an account.
• Add your journey: search for “Shambala” or “Shambala Festival” as your destination and set your travel dates (scroll right to the bottom if we don’t immediately appear).

How long does it take to drive?

Here are some distances, to help you gauge your journey:

• From Birmingham it is only 45 miles and takes a ridiculous 47 minutes.
• From Bristol it is 120 miles and takes a very manageable 2 hours.
• From London it is 80 miles and takes a very do-able 2 hours.
• From Sheffield it is 95 miles and takes a measly 1 and half hours.
• From Penzance it is a long way – but it’s well worth it!

Balancing Emissions

We’ve been balancing our unavoidable emissions for over a decade – most of which are travel related. We paid for a wind farm in India, and regular donations to tree-planting via our partner at Onboard: Earth. Please follow the link or download the app to make a tiny donation of £1- £3 to support regeneration around the world. Also, be sure to encourage your friends!
