6 Must-See Things At Greenpeace's Field at Glastonbury

Posted by Richard Casson — 23 June 2016 at 7:23pm - Comments

Greenpeace and Glastonbury Festival have had a long, mud-splattered relationship. And this summer we're marking 25 years at the festival.

So what can you expect to see if you swing by our field? Here are five highlights to look out for this year.

1. Plunge down the dreaded drop slide


Our (in)famous drop slide is back! And this year, to fit with our field's theme of 'No Planet B', we've built the drop slide into the side of a a 15 metre tall rocket. Ride it if you dare!

2. Dive into the Reef at the David Attenborough Dome


Fancy an underwater tour of the Great Barrier Reef, with one of Britain's best-loved naturalists narrating you through the trip along the way? If you're at Glastonbury this year, this is your chance. Visit our brand new virtual reality dome for a journey through one of the world's most precious natural wonders -- and find out how you can help protect it.

3. Get your groove on at the Greenpeace stage


We've got a cracking line up of 40 bands (yes, 40!) appearing on our stage this year, including a special appearance from Roni Size on Saturday night. Take a look at the full line up here.

4. Tuck into the best hummus at Glastonbury


Maybe we're biased, but the Greenpeace cafe's got the best hummus on site! You can judge it for yourself by visiting our cafe at Glastonbury. It's open 7AM until 3AM everyday. And as well as hummus we also sell cook breakfasts, hot meals and drinks, and delcious cakes (like the ones in the photo here).

5. Scrub up in our showers


If the Glastonbury mud gets a bit much, why head over to our free hot showers for a chance to clean yourself up? Just don't forget to bring your towel!

6. Bring your kids for a free class at our skate park


Head to the back corner of the Greenpeace field to check out our (wind power themed) skate park. And if you've got children in tow, bring them along for a free beginners lesson (skateboards and safety gear provided by us!).
