Green Man introduces student ticket

Who says Students never get a good deal? New for 2009, Green Man are offering a newly discounted ticket for students giving them £16 off the retail price. Also, for those thinking of rounding up a group of friends to go along,  for every 10 tickets purchased you get one free! What better motivation (aside from all the greatness on offer) does one need.

It’s enough to make you raise your glasses…and head down the Student Union to celebrate. Click here for tickets

new suprises at Green Man + holiday ticket

We also want to announce the first of many new hidden surprises around the site. Einstein’s Garden, will introduce thought provoking green issues in a fun, informative way, and Little Folk, is a larger childrens area with even more workshops, entertainment and great stuff to do.

From feedback from last year’s festival many of you wanted to include the festival into a longer holiday in Wales, so this year we are offering a Holiday Ticket, where for only an extra £30 you can arrive on site on Monday 17th and camp for a further 3 days in Glanusk Park. This exclusive offer enables you to stay on site for a full week and experience all the wonderful activities on offer in the surrounding Brecon Beacons including fishing, hiking, climbing, riding and exploring the incredible countryside.

We are all interested in supporting the environment so we are introducing a greener way for everyone to travel to and from the festival. The Green Bus will take you right into the festival site from most City destinations. Not only do you get to travel to and from the festival onboard this fantastic coach, but you’ll also be leaving the smallest possible carbon footprint both to and from the festival. We are also offering a free shuttle bus service from Abergevanny Train Station to and from the festival site for all of you coming by train. More information will be announced shortly.

All this and more, nestled amongst the waterfalls and rolling hills of the stunning Brecon Beacons in Wales, providing a real sense of escape and an opportunity of experiencing something truly unique and magical.
