Venues & bars

SOUNDSCAPE SOLAR STAGE…


An outdoor venue with an old school vibe and cutting edge sound, Soundscape hosts every kind of musical act from an anarchist ceilidh to punk to reggae to space-rock and ethereal singer-songwriters.

The Soundscape crew are on a  a mission to celebrate diversity and emerging talent, while demonstrating just how fantastic a show can be using renewable, sustainable green energy.

With spectacular views across Piercefield Park, a fine neighbouring bar and food stalls nearby, it’s tempting to spend the whole weekend here.

the TRIBAN stage…


A bespoke white canvas marquee decorated with great attention to detail, spilling out into a garden with benches, campfire and fabulous solar array that powers the whole venue.

Triban has a laid-back bar and stage focused on folk, funk and global grooves, run by a non-profit collective passionate about great music and warm ambience,

This venue has a gentle atmosphere – until the beats accelerate and the place erupts with wild dancing and unstoppable rhythms!

Spontaneous jams happen around the Triban campfire too.

FLOATING LOTUS STAGE…


A  family-run venue, a haven of interconnecting geodesic domes with live music and djs, a chai cafe, a real ale bar, and table tennis tournaments - there's something for everyone here!

Laughter yoga every morning is followed by up-and-coming young artists, politically conscious bands, global grooves and psychedelia.

And like every one of our venues, it's all completely solar-powered.

THE RACONTEURS’ DELIGHT…


A captivating venue, hosting performance-based workshops by day; family friendly entertainment early evening; variety acts by night; and special events - don't miss the legendary Sunday Poetry Slam.

Comedians, poets, clowns, storytellers and jazz musicians rub shoulders in the Hedgerow Bar enjoying temperance drinks and kooky cocktails: nettle cordial laced with gin; elderflower tipples; spicy rhubarb rum and other delicacies.

For spoken word, comedy and cabaret, you'd be hard pushed to find a more fabulous space at many much bigger festivals!

THE SPEAKERS’ FORUM…


On the corner of the Campaigns Field, the Forum has a fascinating programme of talks with leading Green researchers, campaigners for social and environmental justice, and maverick activists.

Listen, question, learn, debate… There’s picnic tables, drinks and snacks, so you can stick around to talk politics, philosophy and protest tactics.

In the evening the Forum transforms into a Cinema with film-makers Reel News.

VOICES OF GAIA…

This talk space on Nature’s Way provides a platform for thinkers and wordsmiths to enlighten and inspire, with a programme of earthy and esoteric subjects – from the magic and medicine of herbs to the mythology of diverse cultures, from a variety of spiritual and philosophic traditions to social anthropology and why festivals matter.

Here we seek inspiration to realign our human lives into the wider natural environment, and to bridge the gap between the mystical and the everyday.

When we recognise our environment is something deeply precious and beloved, we are inspired to protect it. The voices in this space speak to our hearts.

GLAD APPLE CIDER BAR…

This friendly bar faces the Village Green. It has stunning views across the Severn Estuary and makes a perfect cosy pit-stop.

Taste the apples, or if cider’s not your thing go for a locally-brewed vegan ale or try a local honey mead.

Acoustic music sessions and unplugged jams happen around here and there's a campfire every evening - bring an instrument!

THE UNCOMMON

The Uncommon hosts creative workshops for all ages, street theatre and cabaret performances, art installations, open mic, live stage acts and a night-time dance space in the woods.

The Uncommon brings together diverse beings, weaves creativity, provides a welcoming, safe space for all the wild creatures.

There'll be a extraordinary parade, puppetry, a network of storytelling nests, a bar, cafe and campfire.

THE BRIMMON OAK…

This is the bar next to Soundscape Solar Stage. Here we’ll have beers and ciders, ‘dark & stormy’ rum n ginger, organic wine and more.

The bar is named after the original Brimmon Oak, a 500 year old Welsh Oak, which was threatened by road-building but saved by popular demand.
Local media reported: “A new bypass was bent to save this wonderful ancient tree, which went on to be a finalist in the European Tree of the Year contest and now stands as a symbol of the strength of people power and nature combined!”

The power of people and nature is what The Green Gathering is all about.

The Green Gathering’s bars raise money for putting on the festival.

Prices are very reasonable and we aim to provide a decent range of locally brewed beer and cider, plus organic wines, a selection of spirits and ethically-sourced soft drinks. In reusable cups, of course!
