Coach

Our exclusive coach travel partner National Express have been working with festivals and events for over 20 years to carry thousands of people all over the country - so they really are the experts! They will be providing fantastic services from all over the UK direct to the Green Man Festival site.

Here's a few reasons why you should take the coach...

• 1. It's direct - you'll get dropped off and picked up from the festival site.
• 2. You won't have to listen to the woman on the sat nav or try reading an upside map whilst driving - the lovely drivers at National Express know exactly where they're going. 
• 3. You'll be tired - after a weekend of late nights it's going to be safer letting someone else do the driving.
• 4. The fun can begin as soon as you get on the coach - it will be full of your fellow festivalers.
• 6. It's greener - everyone on a coach instead of separate cars means less of an impact on the environment.

Green man has separate areas for General Camping, Family Camping, Live-in Vehicle Camping and Disabled Camping - all equipped with plentiful toilets (cleaned at regular intervals to prevent nasty niffs) as well as hot showers, fresh water taps and rubbish and recycling facilities.

It’s a festival, so make sure you have plenty of fun, but please follow a few simple ground rules to ensure everyone is a happy camper:

Because of the fire risk, no open fires or tinfoil barbeques are allowed on site. Proper camping stoves or barbeques on legs are fine but just be careful if you’ve had a couple of ciders! Nobody wants to be responsible for burning Green Man to the ground – not until the final night, anyway.

No glass bottles are allowed on any part of the festival site (including the camping areas) and although you’re welcome to bring a personal stash of alcohol into the campsites you will not be able to bring booze into the entertainment areas where there are licensed bars. See the alcohol section of these pages for more information.

No sound systems, amplified music, ghetto blasters, electric guitars, drum kits etc…are allowed in the camping areas. Who needs them anyway when you’ve got an amazing festival line-up and Green Man Radio broadcasting round-the-clock? If we break the noise limits in our licence then there is no Green Man = no fun and sad faces all around. So bring your headphones and please respect your fellow campers, even if they do snore heavily throughout the night.

Well it’s a festival and its outdoors, so we’d suggest a few simple basics such as:

• Tent 
• Sleeping bag 
• Clothes for warm and cold weather 
• Waterproofs 
• Wellies 
• Toilet paper 
• Sun cream 
• Sunhat 
• Torch

Please DO NOT bring forbidden items: fireworks or other explosives, pets (except guide dogs), sound systems, glass bottles, open fires, generators, tin foil barbeque, weapons, bombs, etc....

You can buy emergency toiletries, clothes and camping equipment at the festival itself but it’s best to come prepared so check with your mum in advance.

A sense of humour, a big smile, exquisite musical taste and a friendly attitude are all Green Man essentials.
