Glastonbury: are you in the no?

I decided to give Glastonbury a miss this year, but it looks like everyone currently stuck in a seven-hour tailback in the car park had a rollickin' good time. Not just because of the sunshine or Blur's barnstorming set last night (slightly jealous I missed that), but the Greenpeace field was once again a marvel to behold.

Going to Glasto? Take a step through the grass arch...

Just a quick reminder of the sorts of things you'll be missing out on if you don't take that step through the grass arch to visit the ever-stimulating Greenpeace field at this year's Glastonbury festival.

So head on down to the Greenpeace field, where you can (in no particular order):

  • sign up to become an Airplotter and help us create a spectacular aviation intervention to stop Heathrow expansion.
  • scale the climbing walls of our action training centre
  • conquer the famous Greenpeace skateboard ramp
  • take a solar power shower
  • feast organically at Café Tango
  • get some expert advice about how to make your world a bit greener

See you there!

Amy goes to Glastonbury

After her adventures at the Make a NOise carnival, Amy Greenhouse is back. This time, she joined us at Glastonbury to show the farm a bit of love. The question is, where's Trace?

With big thanks to Niall and Jason from Tellyjuice.

Tipis at Glastonbury

So, we're here at Glastonbury and, after a few wrong turns on the way here and some hitches pitching my tent (I've never been the best camper), I'm starting to settle into the rhythm of working at the festival.

The Greenpeace field is almost complete and the garden design is quite amazing with covered walkways, vegetable patches and other examples of one planet living. As I write, music is blaring from the skateboard ramp behind me and I can hear the whoosh of wheels as the skaters do their turns.Last night, I was lured into the interactive light installation (another work by Jason Bruges, who created the installation at last year's 100% Light expo) which is quite addictive, especially after a few cans of Strongbow. Watch this video on our moblog to get some idea of what it's about.

Everything's lovely in the Glastonbury garden

Visitors to the Greenpeace field at Glastonbury festival sitting in a hammock

I still have to get hold of some wellies (my trusty pair is elsewhere right now) and a tent, but things are starting to fall into place for Glastonbury. The team working hard to bring the Greenpeace field to life are not far from my desk and I haven't heard any raised voices yet which has to be a good sign. But for those out there with tickets (if you don't have them yet, you can still win a pair with our Greener Glastonbury Giveaway on Facebook), exactly what is being cooked up?
