Dear Green Gatherers, Having consulted and resear

Dear Green Gatherers,

Having consulted and researched and wrestled with this decision for the last few weeks we now have to tell you, with much sadness, that we’ve decided to postpone this year’s Green Gathering.

It seems very unlikely festivals will be able to go ahead this summer, even small ones spread out across wide green meadows under open skies, like ours.

With coronavirus a long way from being under control, and the high risk of asymptomatic transmission, we don’t feel it would be wise, kind or safe to bring people from so many parts of Britain all together in Chepstow. We don’t want to put our GG community in harm’s way, or risk bringing any Covid-19 cases to our host community in South Wales.

We aim to return with an even better Green Gathering next year, putting all the energy and planning that was going to infuse GG 2020 – and some – into a spectacular coming-back-together in 2021 (July 29-August 1). We can’t wait to share music and skills and fields with you again.

We’re not going to attempt a full online festival - too many of us feel the need for earth under our feet and woodsmoke in our nostrils to be comfortable with a virtual Green Gathering – but we will be posting content from our wonderful artists, co-ordinators and crew. Check our website and social media for lockdown gigs, playlists, permaculture tips and more.

Please login to your Ticketsellers Ticket Shop customer account here: https://www.theticketsellers.co.uk/your_account before August 16th 2020 to discover how to roll your ticket over to 2021 (guaranteeing a ticket at 2020 prices), donate your ticket to help us through these difficult times, or claim a refund.

We hope you can all stay safe, keep faith and find space to dance outdoors even if it has to be in splendid isolation this summer.

See you on the other side of this,

Much Love, from GG HQ

We’re sending love and hope to everyone in these

We’re sending love and hope to everyone in these disorienting times.

We’re planning for The Green Gathering 2020 to go ahead.

We have our ears to the ground and are in contact with the Association of Independent Festivals, Monmouth council and other organisations and information sources and are reviewing the situation pretty much constantly.

No one can give completely definite answers, however most reliable sources are suggesting a peak of infections between late April and early June and then a significant dip in July-August-September before a potential ‘second wave’ of infection in the Autumn.

If that scenario pans out, it means at Green Gathering time people will be desperate to get out in the fields and relax, dance, learn and play. Humans need to come together and do those things for our mental and spiritual health, and it looks like there’ll be a window of opportunity around our dates.

Infections are passed less easily outdoors than indoors, and The Green Gathering has a particularly open, spread out site which will mean it’s less risky than a tight, crowded event.

So we are being optimistic and hope you are too.

We will of course be taking advice from the relevant bodies about additional public health and hygiene provision.

The majority of your ticket money stays safely with our ticket agent until a couple of weeks before the festival, so in the scenario of having to cancel the festival, ticket buyers would be able to receive a refund or a ticket swap for The Green Gathering 2021.

We all need to keep planning to do fun and fabulous things this summer, because if the virus is in abeyance by then and we’ve stopped doing everything, there’ll be nowhere to come together and celebrate and that would be a big shame.

Big love, we hope you can all stay safe,
from (virtual) GG HQ.
