BEFORE YOU ARRIVE ✨ a few last-minute FYIs for GG 25!
🔥 An Update About Fires On Site
It's looking like a lovely, sunny GG! But given the recent and forecasted lack of rain, we're going to have to limit fires on site. We will be operating our communal fires with our team of expert volunteers, where we can manage them, but have to ask that no open campfires are made anywhere else.
🍻 Don't be a mug - bring your own!
Help us cut down on waste by bringing your own mug to the festival! You can also grab a reusable enamel mug at the Info Exchange Tent, or use our stackable bar cups - did you know they’re safe for hot drinks too?
đź‘• The Joys of Packing Less
Every kilo we carry increases emissions, especially in a car. Plus, packing lighter means less work for you! If you're feeling overwhelmed, check out our Joys of Packing Less Kit Lists on our Green Traveller Guide page!
⏰ Gates open NOON tomorrow, and then from 10am on Fri, Sat, Sun
We have day tickets available (as well as local residents discounts) - sold via a first come first served basis on the day.
SEE YOU SOON đź’š

Raconteurs’ Delight returns… wilder, bigger, better and bursting with magic ✨🌿
Once again conjured from beneath our secret hedgerow home in the mystic hills, Raconteurs’ Delight re-emerges at The Green Gathering — offering all the fun of the fayre: poets, storytellers, theatre and circus, the chance to dance, sing, drum and play. All washed down with recipes and potions squeezed from the ancient hedgerow’s bounty. 🌸
Nestled in the heart of the festival, surrounded by food stalls, this recycled institution invites you to Reconnect through words, stories and music — to the earth, to each other, and to wonder itself.
🛡 Leave your doubts at the door with The Insecurity Guards
🌬 Seek healing with The Elemental Health Service
🎤 And dive into our lineup of spellbinding spoken word:
🔹 Pete The Temp – anarchic, emotional and back by popular demand
🔹 Zena Edwards – award-winning ecopoet and captivating voice
🔹 Louise the Poet – two shows packed with raves, MILFs, and dystopian prose
🔹 Bassie Gracie’s Sunday Speakeasy – punk poetry, feel-good feminism & bare feet

It's official - coming to Green Gathering is greener than staying at home! WHY FESTIVALS MATTER: a research project
Over the last year we've been working with sustainability researchers to find out how much positive impact our festival has on the wider world, and how that balances with the carbon impact of the event.
So many people have told us, over the years, that "The Green Gathering changed my life!" and we felt sure the festival must be a net positive... but we wanted proof, not just anecdote.
Roll on a year of surveys and spreadsheets...
And now, at last, with a great drum roll and big grins, we can say that YES, The Green Gathering really does change things for the better!
Over a third of our festival community has been inspired to change behaviour in terms of what they eat, buy and waste, and 20% say the festival has influenced them to become more engaged in community activities and climate change activism.
It's been levelled at us in the past that "The Greenest festival is one that doesn't happen", so we wanted to check out if that's true. We found that not only does our festival have the behaviour-change impact described above, it also reduces the carbon footprint of attendees for the time they're at the festival - and yes, that even includes audience and crew travel, and infrastructure transport!
Total emissions at GG 2023 were calculated to be 7kg CO2e per festival attendee, which is plenty lower than the daily carbon footprint of a UK resident estimated at 19.5 kg CO2e. Carbon footprint calculations aren't 100% reliable so we're not staking our lives on those exact numbers... but it seems pretty clear from the vast difference between the two figures that for the 'average' person it's more sustainable to spend time at our solar-powered festival, eating wholseome veggie food, than it is to stay at home.

THE UNCOMMON - A NEW AREA FOR 2024!
Discover creative and carnivalesque activities day and night at The Uncommon, our newest quirky venue. Amongst the trees and on the terraces below the ruins of Piercefield House you'll be invited to get involved.
You could help make a giant puppet and end up participating in an outdoor show. Or find yourself performing on the Open Mic stage, telling stories by the fire, dancing to a punk band, or watching wild street theatre... Later, linger at the illuminated sculptures, watch a fireshow, tune into the music.
Every afternoon there’ll be family-friendly activities as well as quiet spaces to sit and chat and chill and reflect. The Uncommon crew will be creating larger-than-life structures, encouraging people to join in making props and costumes for a Sunday carnival parade around site.
A campfire to gather around, an affordable bar, and a chill-out cafe with cosy lounge will lend a friendly, village feel to The Uncommon.
Early evening there’ll be live music and cabaret, all culminating in an explosion of multi-genre dance music with diverse djs and a wicked party vibe.… chance to dance the night away under the stars, surrounded by trees.
Curated by Jessica Rost: bender-dwelling sculptor, welder, artist, activist, weaver of dreams, builder of bicycle-powered chariots, danceathon champion and lover of outdoor baths... Jess invites you to enter this delightful, disorientating world; to play, perform, cast aside inhibitions, and dance, dance, dance!
The Uncommon: you definitely won’t want to miss it.

Lights in the dark - is there any better description for The Green Gathering? 🔥💚
The world is a big and scary place sometimes right now, and we’re so thankful for everyone who has already chosen to support us and join us again this summer in our way of creating joy amongst all that. We promise a weekend of magic, new friends, old friends, and that you’ll leave with some sort of sense of hope for the future, however large or small.
Don’t forget that getting your tickets as soon as you can helps us out a whole bunch, so if you can, bag yours now - they’re cheaper too! See you soon - love and peas from GG HQ x
