Notice from the Greenman Team

The members of the Greenman team would like to thank everyone for their enthusiasm and support. However due to a change in a number of personal circumstances, we have found ourselves unable to provide the type of event we promised.

We apologise for the inconvenience but we don't feel we'd do service to the Greenman by compromising. We all feel it's more honorable to cancel the festival in February 2007 rather than providing something that would fall short of the quality and exceptional value that we had committed to achieving.

May your Gods go with you
The Greenman Team

The Green Man is intimately associated with Robin of the Wood, the Green Knight of Arthurian legend, Jack in the Green, the May King or Summer Lord, and with Cernnunos, the Celtic God of the forest.

He is usually shown as a male head formed as a leaf mask, often with vegetation disgorging from his mouth, springing from the dark, shady recesses of the forest.

He symbolizes a deep kinship with trees and woods, irrepressible life, and the cycle of renewal and rebirth.

He is honoured during the Bright Half of the year. He is the Child, Lover and Protege of the Goddess, and is the Young Son, who inherits His father's throne and sires the new King. Often known as Lord of the Corn, it is He, who by joining with the Goddess, ensures the fertility of the fields and secures a healthy crop. His is the realm of growth, reproduction, and restoration of life.
