Greenbelt Festival is somewhere artistry meets activism, where the political meets the practical. We’re somewhere to come together once a year, where we’re as likely to dream up a better world as we are to dance and debate, to pray and to party. 

We were founded a long time ago by a bunch of misfits in a field. We’re still in a field. And we’re still somewhere that welcomes anyone and everyone. 

We think there’s a spark that kindles the time we spend together at Greenbelt, and we call it God. (You might call it the gin talking; that’s fine too.)

We’re taking a breather from the festival in 2027, but that spark isn’t going anywhere. When we’re back together in a field in 2028, some of us will have been coming our whole lives, some will be back after a break, and some will be brand new to the party. Whether it’s your first time or your 15th, you can expect a warm welcome – regardless of ethnicity, gender, religion, sexuality, disability or background.

Challenging the status quo isn’t easy. We work to make each Greenbelt more environmentally friendly than the last. But we’re on a journey and there’s still a long way to go. Come with us as we try to tread as lightly as possible on this good earth as we make the festival each year.
