CharlotteB Posted February 12 Report Share Posted February 12 Hi all, I'm thinking of getting tickets to Green Gathering this year. It looks like such a cool, chilled festival. Has anyone here been in recent years, and what are your general thoughts/critique of the festival? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlotteB Posted February 26 Author Report Share Posted February 26 No? Might just go ahead and take the plunge, then 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 26 Report Share Posted February 26 there used to be someone around here who was involved in the organisation, can't think of the username right now, but will try to dig it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaB84 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Hi CharlotteB, I've never been but I am going this year and have already bought my ticket. I'm going alone so will use the quiet camping area which I hope will be peaceful. I can't wait to go. Have you decided to go? I've not been able to find any other forums about Green Gathering, have you found any? Lisa🌎🪵🌞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlotteB Posted March 27 Author Report Share Posted March 27 No, I haven't found any discussion anywhere to be honest. But yeah, we got tickets the other month. Thankfully the website has lots of info, and it sounds amazing ❤️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that's giving me a teenie weenie bit of concern is they shared a post saying how tough it is money-wise for small festivals at the moment, then a few weeks later they were asking if people wanted to drop off flyers for them at cafes and such. I really hope they don't have to cancel, and if they do, I hope we get a refund (I'm a bit paranoid about this because I've been stung before). Just a feeling I had. Probably nothing 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlotteB Posted July 17 Author Report Share Posted July 17 Bump! Because it's soon. I saw lots of banners for the festival at Glastonbury. Looking forward to it and hoping for good weather 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have them done last year 😠 hopefully you make it. Have you been before? Is it as brilliant as it looks on the website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of my mates go every year and I’ve had a free way in for years With the different areas/stages/bars and general setup it looks like a much bigger festival than it actually is (I know it's derived from a bigger festival, so maybe that has something to do with it).

CharlotteB Posted August 6 Author Report Share Posted August 6 I highly recommend this festival! Just got back, and I'm really surprised the people in this forum aren't all over Green Gathering. It's so Glastonbury! Did anyone else here go? I'll definitely be going again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly having my injectors changed made no difference, so I didn’t make it. I’m now significantly poorer and extremely unhappy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 4 small stages, and the biggest crowd I saw was for Seize the Day (who I saw at the Small World Stage at Glastonbury on the Thursday). Loads of crafts stalls and activism stuff. Good food, a fairly cheap pint at a river (and great selection of beers, ciders and mead). Plenty of camping space. There's family and quiet camping areas. We ended up in general camping, but that was still quiet. Very chilled indeed It's pretty much the Green Futures Field at Glastonbury. Absolutely fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I see so it's more of a chill vibe than a party vibe both during the day and during the night then? I like doing lots of workshops and activities during the day but I also like my night parties or just acoustic backed singing or jamming until the wee hours 🙂 Edited August 8 by BluesManP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like doing lots of workshops and activities during the day but I also like my night parties or just acoustic backed singing or jamming until the wee hours 🙂 They have a DJ stage for the night, but I don't think it continues till like 5am or anything, and the party certainly doesn't come back to where everyone is camped. There are campfire jams and entertainment late on too. Depends how hardcore you want it, really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
