The Green Gathering 2025

The UK’s original off-grid, grassroots festival, The Green Gathering is a four day exploration of low-impact living – filled with music, arts, activism, spoken word, crafts and so much more.

A not for profit event, the festival is commissioned by our our charity and produced by Optimistic Trout Productions CIC, a Community Interest Company. Any financial surplus from the festival goes to fund creative environmental and educational projects.

The Green Gathering community is made up of fabulous event coordinators and crew, directors of OTP CIC, trustees of the charity, and of course our inspiring ticket buying festival-goers without whom the rest would be useless!

Behind the scenes we’re a passionate bunch of festival-lovers, environmentalists, activists, campaigners, gardeners, musicians, builders, philosophers, educators, travellers, health workers and artists.
