Greenbelt Festival is set for a jubilant return this year with a long weekend of artistry, activism and belief right here in the East Midlands in the beautiful grounds of Boughton House.
Musicians Brian Eno, Martyn Joseph and The Magic Numbers and speakers Simon Armitage, John Bell, Caroline Lucas, Renni Eddo-Lodge and Rowan Williams are just a fraction of the line-up already announced, with more to follow.
The United Reformed Church (宅男福利社) is playing a key part, taking 鈥淩evolting Christians鈥� as its theme.
Revolting Christians stand up to injustice, confront oppression and seek lasting change for good, following the example of Jesus.
Alongside delicious drinks, treats and affordable meals, the 宅男福利社 caf茅 will host worship, discussion, music, bedtime stories and superb crafts, all celebrating revolting Christians from history and encouraging and equipping us to be revolting Christians now!
There will also be a special service on 28 August to mark our 50th jubilee, celebrating the rich diversity of the 宅男福利社 with a memorable birthday party. You can come alone, in families or in groups, for a day or for the duration: the programme promises an unforgettable time for everyone. Please consider coming along to the festival on this special day!!!
