Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Areas - The Greenpeace Field

2009 was an epic year at Worthy Farm with many Festival-goers declaring it the "best ever" Glastonbury.

The success was definitely repeated in the Greenpeace field which thousands of Festival-goers passed through come rain or shine. They found our miniature replica of Sipson village, which lies in the path of the proposed third runway at Heathrow, complete with cottage gardens, post office and the King William IV pub and landlady Tracy (actually, she was real). We signed up over 8,000 new beneficiary owners to our ongoing Airplot campaign against Heathrow expansion, including a certain Mr Eavis.

Elsewhere on the field, enthusiastic new climbers practiced their skills on the Out of Control tower; world class skaters impressed with their show boarding on the giant FSC skate ramp; over 7,000 people emerged sparkling from our clean energy showers; hundreds of visitors joined together to give a Big NO to airport expansion; and the Departure Lounge hosted an impressive line of popular live music acts.

And across the rest of the festival, Greenpeace continued to work in partnership with Oxfam and WaterAid to ensure a "greener, cleaner and fairer" Glastonbury for everybody!
