	The Phantom Tollbooth - Concert Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		The festival atmosphere was changed significantly, and the average age of attendee was noticeably up from previous years.
		With the postponement of the Freestate festival for at least another year, Greenbelt will return next year to its historic last-weekend-in-August slot, and the program will be expanded to try to draw back the teenagers, who were noticeably fewer this year.
		Greenbelt provides a safe space to explore faith-related issues and the arts which is essential for the church in the UK.

		Greenbelt is, among its many other qualities, a foodie’s heaven.
		A brief wander around the festival site last night (arriving, tired and confused, after a normal day’s work and train journey) turned up a bewildering variety of enticing cuisine – Japanese and Caribbean food stands, a veggie bangers‘n’mash stall and a pancake-maker’s with frying-pans the size of a votive bowl from the Book of Chronicles.
		Clearly Greenbelt has listened to the feedback of its older regulars, as we enter middle age with its inevitable loss of hair, expansion of waistline and gaining of CAMRA membership.

	Greenbelt festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Greenbelt festival is the largest Christian arts and music festival in the world, taking place annually in England during the last bank holiday weekend in August.
		Greenbelt is also a venue for teaching and discussion around (but not exclusively) the Christian faith, and has attracted a large number of famous Christian speakers, including the Archbishop of Canterbury who is now the festival's patron.
		The festival welcomes anyone who the organisers believe 'speaks for justice', usually meaning that they are on the political left, and has recently had Anita Roddick, Peter Tatchell, Bill Drummond and Billy Bragg sharing their thoughts.

		Greenbelt was probably the first arts festival in the UK to set up a website.
		While initially the site was managed by a volunteer, the festival management decided in the late-90s to place a greater emphasis on the site and that is where we were brought on board as part of a team to help redevelop the site from the ground-up.
		I have spearheaded that effort, one high point of which has been that for two consecutive years a greenbelt related tag has been the most popular tag on flickr.com in the week following the festival, with over 3300 photos of the 2006 event posted.

		Some people felt that it detracted from the mood of the festival, especially since there were a couple of reports of sexual harassment of young girls by ride operators and the lights were somewhat distracting when seen from the mainstage area.
