This year I spent a weekend at a festival that I haven’t been to before. Usually M and I go to the Beautiful Days Festival in Devon in late August, but this year for some reason the Green Man Festival in the Brecon Beacons seemed like an interesting alternative. This annoyed our regular festival-going friends immensely because they were smitten with Beautiful Days, but sometimes you have to strike out on your own to see whether the grass is greener on the other side. We had come to be very familiar with the Beautiful Days scene and its acts, and in a way a change is a better form of rest, to mangle a popular phrase.
We got the site and were amazed at the scale of the layout – only a small car park (you are encouraged to car share or go by public transport) but the camping area was huge and there were lots of performance areas, we discovered. If you’re going next year I’d highly recommend hiring a trolley. We didn’t and regretted it even though we were only carrying enough for two, not a whole family.
