Festival
Childrens
Greenbelt is designed as a paradise for all ages – a break from the norm, a world of new experiences, and a chance to walk in someone else’s shoes.
Everyone is welcome at our festival – none more so than children and families, as we work hard to give the young and the not-so-young the same great mix of creativity, thoughtfulness and life lived
to the full…
So if you’re a smaller Greenbelter, or responsible for one, head down to the Village – it’s the home of all-ages activities onsite, and there’s always plenty to keep you occupied…
