Big Green Coach is the UK’s leading events travel company, specialising in sustainable transport for live music and sport.
As the official carbon-neutral coach partner for most major festivals and stadium tours, Big Green Coach is on a mission to tackle the carbon footprint that comes from audience travel. Through verified ecosystem restoration and protection projects with onboard:earth, Big Green Coach offsets all emissions, making every journey carbon-neutral.
By working hand-in-hand with event organisers, Big Green Coach has become the go-to travel partner for festivals looking to cut their environmental impact. And it’s working—year after year, festival-goers are switching to greener travel, thanks to smart visibility, clear messaging and a simple booking experience.
Danny Newby, Director of Big Green Coach, emphasises the power of collaboration in achieving this shared sustainability goal:
‘At Big Green Coach, we strive to make coach travel to events as accessible as possible while actively reducing environmental impact through partnerships with pioneering organisations like onboard:earth. Event promoters have a unique opportunity to make coach travel the most affordable, convenient and visible option for attendees. By working together, the potential to cut an event’s carbon footprint by 80% is within reach–we just need your help!’
In 2024, Big Green Coach facilitated 200,000 passenger journeys, seamlessly transporting festival-goers from over 200 unique pickup locations across the UK to events nationwide and beyond. In addition, Big Green Coach’s climate investment with onboard:earth helped to plant 1,908 trees in Northern Malawi, protect 670 acres of threatened rainforest and offset 615 tCO2 through a community tree planting and reforestation project in Nicaragua.
In 2025, Big Green Coach is scaling up, working with more events to deliver reliable, carbon-neutral transport and continuing to slash audience travel emissions with more coaches, more carbon offsetting and a cleaner, greener future for live events – one journey at a time.
