Still no news...
To our Green Man family - big thanks for your patience and support. We know how much you want Green Man to happen this year and we’ve been doing all that we can to make it so in this incredibly challenging time.
We’ve had a huge response following the Welsh and UK Government announcements and it is great to see large sports events opening up. Unfortunately this doesn’t mean that Green Man can definitely take place too, as this opportunity hasn’t been extended to festivals at the moment.
Successful test events have taken place in Wales and England, but unfortunately we just don’t know when restrictions will be lifted in Wales. We’re also waiting for an update on government-backed festival insurance in the case of a forced Covid cancellation. This would be a crucial lifeline for us and all UK festivals right now.
Frankly, this has been a very difficult time, not just for Green Man, but for the many thousands of amazing festivals that bring people together across the land. We wish them well and hope we can all return to the thing we love best - creating wonderful memories and making people happy.
Your love and enthusiasm for Green Man has been a massive inspiration for all of us during this time and we desperately want GM21 to go ahead too. So many people have been working for months to create a great festival and we really hope that we have a chance to show you what that looks like. Information changes daily so we need a bit more time to digest the latest developments and work out how much longer we can continue preparing for the festival in light of recent news.
We want to thank you, our brilliant audience, plus our crew, suppliers, artists, traders and every wonderful person who is working with us to make GM happen!
We’re hoping to have more news next week.
Big love, GM

Heads up, my brother was at Bloodstock (metal festival) last weekend, you had to provide evidence of double-vaxedness or a negative test to get in, and over half of the party they were there with (about 15 people) has PCR tested positive in the last day or so.
Our Bristol friend Daphne actually cycled from BS to Green Man! 
I was impressed, but hope to check her well-ness levels soon ......
