Want to scratch your Greenbelt-inspired activist itch? Then listen to Clare. We're teaming up with her campaign charity Operation Noah for an event in London in November – food for thought and action if you care about how faith, politics and care for the planet intersect.

There will be a next time.

Happy National Poetry Day to all who celebrate! To mark the day, here’s the wonderful Pádraig Ó Tuama reading his poem, The Lifeline, at Greenbelt for us this summer. Here’s to all of us, beginning again.

Found you or your mates yet? There are thousands of photos from this year’s festival on our Flickr for you to enjoy (and send to friends when you spot them). Here’s just a few of our faves… 📷 Mark Kensett, Simon Holmes, Neil Mackin, John Sargent, Ali J

We LOVE this film from Holly celebrating what she was thankful for at Greenbelt this year. It took us back instantly - you can almost smell the wood smoke from The Tiny Tea Tent.

We planted Dave (the red oak tree) at Boughton after Communion this year - a thank you to the beautiful home we have loved for 12 years, and to Dave Cullum (the parkland manager) who we love very much too. So much so that we named the tree after him. Enjoy the photo of the two Daves, united.

Between the Fields is the name we’re giving to this next interim phase for our festival, as we finalise our search for a new home. During the next year there’ll be plenty of ways to get together, other festivals to enjoy, plenty to read and listen to, as we plot our full-on festival return in 2028.

The sun shone for us at Communion as we all gathered one last time at Boughton this summer. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously to our offering, which is being shared with our friends at Christian Aid and their work in Gaza. You can still give online if you’d like to, via our website.

Take a bow Greenbelters! Our wonderful team of photographers spent four days in the fields, on the dancefloors, under canvas and across the festival capturing thousands of festival moments. Here’s just a handful for you to enjoy now, with plenty more to come soon.

How is it two weeks already since we danced with our mates to Grace Petrie on the opening night of the festival?

We have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of joy and love that Greenbelters have sent our way since the festival finished nine days ago. We have been reading (and watching and listening) with silly, slightly tired, big grins. THANK YOU. Here are some truly splendid words we received from Rachael.

Great day at @greenbeltfestival.bsky.social yesterday!! Art, music, challenge and food for thought…
