Green Gathering The Green Gathering: the original off-grid festival, powered by wind, sun & people.
29 July-1 August 2027, Chepstow.

Four days of music, spoken word, cabaret, crafts, campaigns, campfires, low impact living, love and green life... a festival community powered by sun, wind, people and passion... a festival beyond hedonism where you can party then wake up the next morning with new mates and a mission to change the world! Inspiring and authentic "like festivals used to be", The Green Gathering is held the first weekend in August near Chepstow on the Welsh border - just 18 miles from Bristol. Adults' advance tickets from £110: http://www.greengathering.org.uk/tickets/

The festival is commissioned by (and raises funds for) The Green Gathering charity, which promotes education for sustainability via hands-on interactive learning and the arts. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England. Part funded by the Welsh government.

HAVING YOUR SAY 💚

Our annual FEEDBACK SURVEY results are in!

We take your feedback to heart. Good reviews make all the grimy, crunchy, behind-the-scenes work worthwhile. And criticism inspires us to tweak, get creative and evolve.

So, what did you tell us?

82% of you had a perfect or brilliant time! Music, people and atmosphere were the things you loved best – the variety of music, the friendliness, the sense of belonging and community.

Most of you couldn’t think of ANYTHING you didn’t like, which is truly great news. A few thought the loos and shuttle buses could’ve been better, so we’ll keep working on those. Some of you struggled with the heat, and some wished the music went on later. We’d love to fix the weather and licensing regs for you, but that could be tricky! 😉

Thanks to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts. It really does help us make GG better, year after year.

We can’t believe it’s almost Samhain already but yes the pumpkins are out and Earlybird Tickets are almost gone! 🎃

Your feedback has been pouring in, we’re reading it all and beginning to conjure with how we can make Green Gathering 2027 even better - it’s a tough call given how excellent this year was, but we’ll give it our best!

Did you miss the talks in our Speakers’ Forum? We filmed them live for watching over winter - check out Clive Lewis MP ‘in conversation’ and Lubna Speitan on Zionism is Racism below.

We were over the moon about all the handfastings in our Standing Stone Grove, have a look through the gorgeous pics and if you fancy a ceremony next year, be in touch.

If you were part of GG 2026 - Thank You. If you weren’t, grab an Earlybird and come along next time!

As the days draw in and summer feels a little further away, a little reminder of what it's all about. 💚

‘Gather’ is a spoken word piece made at GG in 2022, celebrating the incredible spoken word we hear at the festival every year, the fire we feel and the many voices that come together to make things happen.

To gather is in our very name. There's something pretty special about what we can do when we come together.
