The Big Green Gathering

What is it? The Big Green Gathering is a 5 day camping event which is currently located in the Mendip Hills in Somerset. It has grown out of the original Green Gatherings of the 1980's and the Green Fields of Glastonbury Music Festival. It has developed organically in response to a desire from people within the green movement for a festival that was focused on Green issues. Now we have somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 people expected this year. Staying Green is now a bigger challenge than ever. The Big Green Gathering Co. Ltd. was established in 1994

Held in August - Catch the train to Weston-Super-Mare and catch the special big red bus service to the Big Green Gathering site.
