Beyond the Green: Hemp festival to take place at Saint Luke’s in Glasgow during COP26

The first ever hemp focused COP Fringe Festival will take place in Glasgow this weekend.

The three day event by Beyond the Green, EarthAid and Future For Humanity, will take place at Saint Luke’s in the city’s east end from November 5-7.

Promising live music, art, workshops, speakers and a hemp market, all profits from Beyond The Green will be invested into the east end of Glasgow in the form of hemp-based sustainable building materials and products.

The organisers hope to lead the way to Net Zero by planting industrial hemp to offset the entire carbon footprint of COP26.

The weekend days start with yoga, meditation and education sessions from 10am-noon on Saturday and Sunday, with Get Ahead and We Are Boogie Sound.

There will also be live performances plus DJ sets from Andy Cato (Groove Armada), Sarra Wild, Darwin and BEMZ, The Fratellis official after show party.

In addition event goers can expect panels and talks from climate experts across charities, governments, NGOs, culture and entertainment industries.

Beyond the Green founder Sam Cannon, former head of music for Ministry of Sound, said: “The time for denying hemp a place at the table for climate discussions is over.

“Hemp, with its wide range of industrial applications, has been scientifically and industrially proven to be the number one sustainable solution for the climate, capturing at least twice as much carbon as trees whilst taking a tenth of the time to grow.

“If politicians are serious about fighting climate change and not just dancing to the tune of big business, they need to stop treating this environmental wonder crop as a controlled substance and start putting it at the forefront of climate discussions.¨
