What is Greenbelt?

We’re somewhere artistry meets activism, the secular meets the spiritual, politics meets positivity. We’re somewhere to come together once a year, where we’re just as likely to dream up a better world as we are to dance and debate, to pray and to party (ideally all of those things at the same time). We believe that by creating hospitable spaces of belonging where exceptional arts, courageous activism and open-hearted belief come together, we can inspire & empower participants –communities, families, activists, artists & organisations – to collaborate, conspire and act for the common good. Our history is firmly rooted within a Christian tradition which is world-affirming, politically and culturally engaged. Ours is a belief that embraces instead of excludes. And, as such, the festival is an inter-generational celebration, inclusive and accepting of all, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, background or belief.
