Working with Greenbelt

Abigail Maxwell recounts her personal experience of the Greenbelt Festival

by Abigail Maxwell 5th October 2018

This year, Quakers were ‘Partners and associates’ with Greenbelt, the liberal Christian festival. My Area Meeting paid for my ticket on the basis that I volunteered at the Quaker tent. The festival was held in the grounds of Boughton House, near Kettering in Northamptonshire. I got to hear Carol Ann Duffy perform her poetry, and an acrobat sing while spinning in a Cyr wheel. (If you don’t know what that is, Google it – the YouTube videos are amazing.)
