Green Man

Green Man Festival

When: August 15-17

Where: Glanusk Park, Brecon Beacons, Wales

What: Gong massage anyone?! No, us neither but for the Green Man regulars it's apparently the perfect way to round off the annual Brecon Beacons festival in its healing tent. An event loosely described as a 'folk festival', Green Man prides itself on being anti-all things commercialised. But it still manages to pull in some class acts with this year's festival boasting the likes of Los Campesinos! and Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man. Communal bonfires and even the chance to do science experiments on site put it out on a hippy limb but with the website looking like something from a Kings of Leon cover it might just surprise you.

Tickets: £105 for adult (ages 12 +) weekend tickets plus £7 booking fee. Children aged 11 and under are free as long as they're accompanied by a paying adult.
