Greenbelt is a charity. It doesn’t make any money out of running the festival. If it makes a loss, it takes the hit. If it makes a profit, the money is ploughed back into the festival.

We try very hard to keep ticket prices as affordable as possible and one of the ways we are able to do this is because of the regular donations of over a thousand individuals and families. We call those people Angels.

Their regular donations help us to keep ticket prices affordable, keeping the festival accessible to as many people as possible. They also help us plan confidently and creatively for the future.

If you believe in Greenbelt and want to see it continue for years to come, the best thing you can do is to support us with a regular monthly gift in the present. Sign up to become an Angel here.


If you’ve been meaning to get round to this for a while, this really is the time to do it. Rising costs and difficult economic times mean that festivals up and down the country are facing great challenges. Even £5 a month would make a tremendous difference.

As we approach our 40th year, in 2013, we invite you to stand with us to ensure that Greenbelt continues to provide a unique space for faith, justice and the arts for generations to come.
