Green Fields Glastonbury

About me:

This is a space to pass on information about what happens in the Green Fields of the Glastonbury Festival. The Glastonbury Festival 2010 will be held on June 23th to 27th. To give a flavour of what happens in the green fields details of 2009 will remain on the site until 2010 details are known. The different fields are featured here and on our linked Wiki. The Greenfields Peanut Butter Wiki. ..

At the festival we will be in the Green Futures Field, on the main track up to the stone circle. We're the round blue Marquee with the sunflowers and a big sign that says ..INFORMATION'. Stop by and we'll let you know what's happening where in the Green Fields. The Green Fields are:- The Green Futures Field, The Craft Field, The Green Roadshow, Green Kids Field, Greenpeace, The Healing Field, The Tipi Field and The Sacred Space. The Green Fields are the soul of Glastonbury Festival, where traditional skills and new ways of thinking combine in an explosion of creativity. They occupy the highest ground at the top end of the site, overlooking the rest of the Festival and keeping watch over its basic principles. This enchanting area still encapsulates the spirit and ideals which inspired the very first Pilton festivals. Its skyline filled with peace flags, gently turning wind generators and the outlines of dozens of tipis, this is a place to discover that there are other ways to make the world turn round other than competing and consuming. The Green Fields are about change and discovery - learning how to release your own potential, and discovering how to change the world. The green movement encompasses both the small ways in which we can change our personal lifestyle and the big challenges of shifting the direction of international politics. The Green Fields are about doing things for ourselves, but at the same time doing them in a way that is communal, inclusive and caring.

"LOVE THE FARM, LEAVE NO TRACE" "Pick up your litter, LEAVE NO TRACE" "Don't drop cigarette butts, LEAVE NO TRACE" "Use the toilets provided, LEAVE NO TRACE" "LEAVE NO TRACE" is our slogan again for 2010. The fact is a number of cows die each year from eating toxic stuff we leave behind and the soil and water table are being contaminated. An estimated 23 million cigarette butts are dropped and left. The philosophy of the Green Fields needs to spread to the whole site. Free thinking prevails in the Green Fields, where creativity, community and co-operation turn into beautiful things. Green ideas and innovations, colourful crafts, fair trade and children’s fun are all represented in this complex network of small fields that follow the contours of this great site. The Green Fields bring together what’s best in enthusiasm, creativity and shared ideas, representing every aspect of caring, for yourself and this small world. The greens are not quiet about politics, they believe passionately about peace and the planet. Some of the greatest purveyors of social justice alive today can be found in the Green Fields. We encourage spiritual values and political beliefs and offer a blueprint for living in sympathy with other beings that inhabit our earth. We all face conflicts and problems on a daily basis, but in a small yet important way, we can take steps to overcome these obstacles. By living together with compassion and understanding we can learn not only to respect but appreciate the value of our differences. The Green Fields labyrinth holds something for everyone. Begin in the Greenpeace Field, where the heavy footprints of humanity are being understood and responded to. Join up and spread awareness of the earth’s plight or just enjoy yourself. You will find entertainments, great adventure and daring for all ages including the mountaineering wall and a giant ship for kids to clamber over plus a wealth of activity in the Green Kids’ area. Through the tunnel discover the delights of all that is possible in the Green Futures Field, with campaigns, politics, entertainment, music, poetry, astrology, sustainable living, ideas to enhance world peace and harmony, themes that we can all adopt in our own lifestyles. The holistic delights of natural healing are in the Healing Field. There you can meditate, awaken spiritual awareness, find new therapies, sing, dance and have fun. The Craft Field offers interactive workshops including ancient crafts and masonry skills, musical instrument making and much more. Music can be found on the Croissant Neuf Stage, the Field of Avalon, in the Glade, and at various smaller venues including The Tadpole and Small World, whilst the Shangri-la Field offers off-the-wall entertainment of all kinds. Delicious vegetarian food and interesting wares are on sale in our ethically aware markets. Moving up to the top of the Green Fields, The King's Meadow - a sacred space. Here you can observe the sheer wonder of the entire festival. Take time to unwind amidst the beautiful sculptures or find a quiet space for reflection. The Tipi Field brings your feet back to the ground with more simple living. Here you can enjoy gentle chants, story telling and rituals. As you savour the atmosphere of our eco-friendly fields, we hope you will find something in our simple message to take away with you.
