Festival Friday! Green Man Festival

Festival Friday is back and this week it's Green Man Festival!

Green Man is a family friendly festival based in the heart of the beautiful Brecon Beacons, in Wales. It's really relaxed and is always a pleasure to come back too. The line up is always fantastic, with a wide range of acts, some of which you have heard of and love, others who you discover and become your new favourites. Green Man is always growing and every year I seem to find something new.
One of the coolest things about Green Man is the Green Man himself. Every year he looks different, and is always magnificent. The past couple of years punters have been able to go inside the Green Man over the course of the weekend and leave messages or wishes. On the evening of the final day of the festival (Sunday), They burn the Green Man and have an amazing firework display. This always brings the whole festival together creating the most incredible atmosphere to watch such a marvellous spectacle.
The 10 different areas at Green man mean that there is always something on or to find or do. The Walled Garden is one of my favourite areas, with a smaller stage and the high wall surrounding several stalls as well as the stage, it creates a really intimate feel.
One thing to mention about Green Man is their Welsh Ale and Ciders which, if you are old enough, I highly recommend. I suggest having a Growler and getting your boogie on. You can't go wrong!
Green Man, now in it's 12th year, is always a highlight of the festival season for me and this year is set to be no different.
