Michael and Emily Eavis joined the Rainbow Warrior III yesterday for a trip up the Thames. Glastonbury Festivals gave a generous donation to help pay for the new ship and the ship's mess has been dedicated to Michael Eavis (he didn't know about that until he got on board). Here's a look behind the scenes of their journey.

The Greenpeace field at Glastonbury 2011

To celebrate our 40th anniversary and the launch of the Rainbow Warrior III this year the Greenpeace field is taking on a nautical theme.

We'd love you to drop by and find out what's happening in our oceans at 'Your Greenpeace' at the front of our field. You can find out  whether there really are plenty more fish in the sea and what you can do to help us keep them there.

You'll find something active to do as well as find plenty of chill out spaces come rain or shine. You can work up a sweat on our expansive skate park then wash away all your cares in our amazing hot showers.

There's plenty of food for thought on the field too with our Tango cafe providing organic food and,for the first time this year you'll find as small but perfectly formed farmers' market.

Greenpeace at Glastonbury

Greenpeace and the Glastonbury Festivals have had a long, mud-splattered relationship. Along with Water Aid and Oxfam, Greenpeace is lucky enough to be one of the three worthy causes which get top billing alongside the rock gods and superstar DJs, and our field is always a popular stopping off point for festival-goers between stages.

We also appear at other festivals throughout the summer so keep an eye open for our friendly volunteers. But here's what's happening down on the farm in 2011...

Oceans cover most of our planet and are a key buffer against climate change and a source of food for billions, and yet we're still chucking crude oil, toxic chemicals and radioactive waste in there. Humans are over-fishing like there's no tomorrow, which for some marine ecosystems isn't far from the truth.

Glastonbury 2011: 40 years of making waves

Greenpeace are celebrating our 40th anniversary by returning to the ocean.

The ocean covers most of our planet, is a key buffer against climate change and a source of food for billions. Yet we’re still chucking crude oil, toxic chemicals and radioactive waste in there, plus dangerously over-fishing like there’s no tomorrow - which for some marine ecosystems isn’t far from the truth.

Let it all out - Glasto shouts against rainforest destruction

Once again this year we teamed up with Mi7 Records to put on live music in the Greenpeace field. Following last year's success with the Departure Lounge, where we put on acts including Laura Marling and Mumford and Sons, this time around we decided to step up our game.

Prince Charles visits the Greenpeace field

Posted by jossc - 24 June 2010 at 4:52pm - 0 Comments

Gaze, simple folk of the Earth, upon true regal grace. And look, that's Prince Charles as well! Ho-ho.

For those of you who aren't as familiar with the inner world of Greenpeace as, er, me, that bloke on the left is our executive director, John. That chap in the middle is our future king, probably, and the two fellas on his right are minders - probably fighting quite hard to stop themselves rugby tackling everyone to the ground and bundling HRH into a waiting Chinook.
