Greenbelt Festival

Greenbelt is a festival of arts, faith and justice. The best you’ve never heard of. Greenbelt saw its first edition way back in 1974 and has hosted its annual festival every single year since. But thinking of Greenbelt as just another ‘festival’ doesn’t do it justice. It is also an idea, a way of seeing, a gathering of the clans – part movement, part moment. Its genius is that it defies easy description. You have to be there. 

Celebrating artistry and nurturing activism, Greenbelt Festival is an act of the imagination – inspirational, provocative and fun. Energised by a progressive Christian worldview, Greenbelt creates a festival that is inclusive, open-minded, participatory and generous in spirit.

With music, ideas, literature, performing arts, children's and family programming ... browse the lineup announced so far here. Another great Greenbelt bill is shaping up, bringing together artists, activists, writers and dreamers as diverse as Jack Monroe and Clive Stafford Smith, Speech Debelle and Newton Faulkner. And there's more to come – including comedy.
