The Green Man

Image
Each year we get a Green Man, who is burnt at the end of the festival. Many people say if he wasn't burnt he won't get angry and make it rain every year.  Anyway, here he is in various incarnations: 2009 The first Green Man arrived in 2009, and to be honest was pretty scary! I guess that's because all my photos are at night, but still, this must have given some people nightmares! 2010 For some reason I can't find a photo from 2010. Was there one? If you've got a photo and don't mine me posting send it to me! 2011 This year's Green Man looked for friendly, and had a great set of foot print leading up. 2012 This Green Man was standing rather than sitting, and we had a cool photo frame to look through. 2013 By 2013 the Green Man had become a serious construction! You could get in side this one, climbing the steps. 2014 The 2014 Green Man had the most amazing face! 2015 2015's Green Man was a less

The Stages - 2017

Image
The Mountain stage now has the weaving that we saw on the Walled Garden last year, creating the patterns at the side. The Green Man lettering at the side is still there, and kids had a great time playing in it! Not really a stage, but this is 'Round the Twist', a party tent. I'm not sure if Far Out was bigger this year - it looked the same but felt bigger inside.  Here were the mighty Sleaford Mods. The Walled Garden retained the weaving, but this time seemed bigger too, and still at the centre. I've not got main pictures of Babbling Tongues, but here's one inside, with Pete Paphides, James Yorkston and Johnny Lynch And finally, one of Chai Wallahs, which has pretty much been the same every year.

The Stages - 2016

Image
No major changes to the Mountain stage in 2016, apart from one glorious thing! A ban on chairs on the bank.  OK, not everyone follows it, but it's massively improved things.  Oh, and the big 'Green Man' letter is back, which is nice. No Major changes to the Far Out this year so you just get a picture of Lush playing inside. The Walled Garden stage moved to a more central position, and is now back to being curved in shape.

The Stages 2015

Image
It's all change for 2015! The Mountain stage is now rectangular, and looking fantastic! Curiously though, we lost the Green Man writing at the side of the stage. The Far out is now striped and has the screen outside for Thursday evening - a good idea. ...and looks much better inside than this soggy photo: The walled garden stage also had a make over, following the design of the main stage.
