Information from BCP Council on the Climate and ecological emergency
Café
In the café, takeaway cups, all made from bio-degradable materials, ensuring we keep our use of single-use plastics to a minimum.
Gift Shop
Where possible we are using paper bags instead of plastic where possible.
We are also reducing the amount of single use plastic wrapping, for example removing cello bags from greeting cards.
Printing
We encourage all staff to ‘think before they print’ and visitors are now able to show there tickets on their mobile devices rather than having to print.
