We're again running our Open Festival scheme for Greenbelt 2011, which gives completely free tickets to those who could use them best.
Synergy Theatre Project, who have been funded in the past by Trust Greenbelt, and whose production of Jesus Hopped The A-Train was at Greenbelt in 2010, have a season of new plays and rehearsed readings coming up at the Soho Theatre in London.

Affectionately known as Greenbelt’s little sister, Solas Festival, is running for its second year in Wiston, South Lanarkshire on the 24th-26th June this year.
