Greenbelt ...... keeps on developing after a GREAT FESTIVAL.

Greenbelt: Change, adapt and develop…

The effects of 2012’s rain damage on the ground at Cheltenham Racecourse over the festival that year meant that we had to re-imagine a new site layout for this year (2013). You seemed to like it. Greenbelt has always had the ability to adapt.
The Racecourse is changing fast and we must continue to change with it. It is just about to embark on a major redevelopment.
We have been working with the Racecourse throughout the planning stages to see how we can continue to make the festival happen here; to adapt some more.
Or, whether it might be time to re-imagine Greenbelt in a new home.
We know this will be challenging. But change is also exciting. In our 40-year journey so far, we have always been a festival that has been adapting and on the move.
One thing we know is that Greenbelt will look different next year.
As part of all this, we will want to listen to what your thoughts and dreams are for Greenbelt’s future. And we need your prayers too.
Because our story is a collective story. One that we make and shape together.
