PRICELESS PRIZES AND MEDIEVAL MAGIC WITH THE GREEN MAN 2011 TREASURE HUNT: TALES OF THE MABINOGION!
PLUS- GREEN POLL 2011 WINNERS + THE DRUIDS RETURN!
WARNING: Tickets running extremely low! Get yours HERE
Green Man is full of hidden surprises, but some are better hidden than others….
Win fantastic prizes and explore the darkest depths of the mystical Green Man site this summer with a brilliant new Treasure Hunt to test the cunning of every adventurous festivalgoer!
Keep your eyes peeled at Green Man 2011 and you will notice that all is not as it seems - 16 medieval characters and mythic events from the Mabinogion, the ancient book of Welsh folk tales, have mysteriously come to life.
Stags, giants, badgers and boars…the festival is alive with weird and wonderful characters, but can you find them all? You must solve riddles, earn stamps and search high and low, near and far across the beautiful Glanusk Valley.
This little film will tell you more
As well as a pair of tickets to next year’s Green Man, the lucky winner will walk away with a handful of exclusive Warp Records memorabilia including
* A vinyl test pressing of the new Battles single My Machines featuring Gary Numan – one of just 10 copies that exist in the world!
*A lyric sheet for the single handwritten and signed by Gary Numan
*Three Warp Records 20th anniversary compilations + albums by Squarepusher and Clark
*Two customised boards illustrated by Clark (playing this year’s festival) and The Hundred In The Hands (who played 2010’s festival), as featured in this new video celebrating Warp’s 20th Anniversary last year:http://www.babelgum.com/channels/180445/clips/4007836
The new Battles single My Machines (ft. Gary Numan) is released on August 15th. Listen here.
Green Man presents a night of Warp Records artists on the Far Out After Dark tent on Saturday night at Green Man 2011.
This magical new Treasure Hunt brings the ancient Welsh history surrounding our site to life, and has been designed exclusively for Green Man by the makers of last year’s Lone Wolf puzzle. Track our progress in bringing it to the site here.

NEWS: DRUIDS PROMISE SUN…AGAIN!
Once again, our daring druids King Arthur Pendragon and Rollo Maughfling have made their annual pilgrimage to the Brecon Beacons to bless the mystical Green Man site in the hope of a sun-drenched festival weekend from August 19th-21st.
Head druid King Arthur Pendragon blamed last year’s “dampness” to the likeness of our towering Green Man effigy to Neptune – the Roman god of the sea.
King Arthur said: “With the big Green Man being quite Neptune-like we were up against it - but imagine if we hadn’t been here! This year we are in for a good one, I can really feel something good about it.”
You heard it here first - don’t forget to pack your sunglasses and tanning lotion!
