The Festival Site

The Green Man Festival site is situated in the Black Mountains, crossed by the River Usk and enveloped by rolling countryside and breathtaking mountains and hills. It is, in a word, idyllic.

We encourage you to explore this wonderful site, and make the most of the surroundings. Wide open spaces contrast with intimate moments. Natural beauty blends with community spirit.

Camping here is limited to one week of the year – at the Green Man festival. It's a unique opportunity to camp in surroundings unlikely to be found at a commercial campsite.

The Mountain Stage is located in a natural grassy amphitheatre. Sprawl out on lush green slopes while watching world-class artists perform against the mystical backdrop of Sugar Loaf Mountain.

The formal gardens are used for Einstein’s Garden where art installations, stalls and entertainment are positioned between rose arbours and flowerbeds.

The Courtyard Bar is situated in a Gothic Victorian Stables (keep your eyes peeled for the bats at night) and makes for an ideal halfway meet-up point for the festival.

From the Stables you can follow an avenue of ancient trees decorated with garland lights where stalls sell delicious global food and quality crafts. From the avenue, you can enter the walled garden where the Green Man Pub hums until the wee hours.

The Green Man Pub is an intimate space where you can drink a superb selection of ales, beers, cider and cocktails while relaxing at sturdy wooden tables and chairs as glorious music wafts across from the Walled Garden Stage.

After the avenue of trees, the space opens up to the Cinema and Comedy and Literature tents. Up the hill you will find the Far Out big top and Chai Wallahs Tent, and when the sun goes down the Far Out After Dark keeps the fun alive long past the witching hour, fuelled by the nearby End Up Bar which is open very, very late indeed. Near here is the bonfire area, a focal point for late-night jamming from dusk till dawn.

And once you’ve got your bearings, why not pay a visit to the all-seeing, all-knowing Green Man himself? He might just make your wish come true…
