Green Futures

This is the place where the most inspiring green ideas are on show. Where you can experience growing green energy from artists, campaigners, musicians and environmental visionaries, but most importantly we hope you can take home a little seed of love and plant it in your own backyard.

Since 1990 our field has continued to be the natural beating heart of the Festival keeping the original principles of love, sharing and creativity. With no exception we take you on a journey from Permaculture to Pedal Power, from Sustainability to Solar power.

There are solar power venues running from Wednesday to Sunday as well as loads of other pop up music and entertainment outlets.

View the stunning green artworks from electric ponds to The Living Henge, to our amazing lighting sculptures that shimmer at night. Enjoy Vegetarian and vegan food at its best from cafes including Henry’s Beard and Veggies.

The Speakers Forum brings engaging interactive debate to everybody. Rub shoulders with politicians, green celebs, environmentalists and visionaries. This is the place to be if you want to get up close to the UK’s top campaigning groups and charities.

While across the way, in Science Futures, researchers from four UK universities have teamed up to create a science-themed area where you can explore how science shapes our daily lives in ways you might never have imagined. Here you will find new enlightening technologies and inspiring speakers, innovative and entertaining demonstrations, science-based performance art, and impromptu open-mic sessions with scientist performers.
