Open Festival

Applications for the 2022 festival will open in the spring. Keep an eye out in our dispatches newsletter for more information.

How we make our decision

We can’t support everyone, so to help our decision-making please do give as much detail as possible in your application. We may have to come back to you for further information.

We are looking for applications that give a sense of how attending Greenbelt might benefit you/your nominee and why the Open Festival scheme is absolutely the only way in for you/your nominee.

You might especially want to think about refugees and asylum seekers in your churches and communities who you could nominate and then bring.

We do sometimes support repeat applications over a number of festivals, but in those cases we are looking for evidence of a move toward self-sufficiency or development in that time.

If you are successful, you will receive a free ticket/s that covers entrance to the festival and the use of our camping fields. Greenbelt cannot provide expenses to cover your travel or any accommodation costs. If you will be bringing a car or camper van then you will need to include this in your application.

“It gave all of the family space to step aside from their financial worries and think about the year ahead … we are so grateful that Greenbelt runs the Open Festival. It was the highlight of their year and the source of lasting memories and inspiration.”
Church/Youth Officer, 2019 recipient

“I’m shocked by everyone! They are so nice and happy and willing to help each other, it’s a beautiful atmosphere!”
2017 and 2018 recipient

“It was totally outside the realms of anything they’d ever done before, and they were blown away by it.”
Group leader, 2019 recipient
