Engaged with culture, inspired by the arts, sustained by faith, Greenbelt aspires to be an open generous community with four days of music, arts, ideas and faith in country house grounds.

For its 42nd consecutive year, Greenbelt Festival is inspired by R S Thomas’s poem The Bright Field. Settling into its second residency in the idyllic grounds of Boughton House, the festival will reflect the poem’s call for pause, exploration, discovery, and finding the treasure in the everyday. Focussed on building for a sustainable future, this year the festival reflects and celebrates the grassroots.

The programme introduces a rich and diverse array of thinkers, poets, musicians, theologians, covering themes including peace, ecology, climate change, community, forgiveness, immigration, fashion, mental health, interfaith, sexuality, and media.
