Greenbelt 2018
Mary Stallard visits Greenbelt, the annual arts, faith and justice festival.
For the past few years over the August bank holiday weekend the beautiful parkland around Boughton House in Northamptonshire is transformed into a huge campsite. Thousands of people from all walks of life, from many faiths and none, gather for a Christian-based festival that鈥檚 been running in various places since 1974.
Greenbelt Festival combines the arts, faith, politics and activism seeking an inclusive way to 鈥渞e-imagine the Christian narrative for the present moment.鈥

And do such gatherings make any lasting difference to the lives of those who attend. Mary Stallard packed the British holiday staples of sun-cream and wellies and went along to find out.
