Green Man Festival ranked most accessible music festival in the UK

The Green Man Festival has been identified as the most accessible music festival in the UK according to a study by health and safety experts at Protecting.co.uk. The survey evaluated twelve major UK festivals based on transparency, the application process for disabled customers, and available facilities. Green Man received a score of 54 out of 100, outperforming major events such as Reading and Leeds, Boomtown, TRNSMT, and Creamfields. The festival was noted for its streamlined two-step application process and its policy of allowing customers to submit disability evidence directly without a separate prior registration.

Located in the Bannau Brycheiniog valley, the 24th edition of the festival featured a diverse lineup including Mogwai, Wilco, Four Tet, and Wolf Alice. Beyond music, the event offered literary talks, political debates, a science garden, and wellness areas. The 2026 curation included a wide range of genres, from indie and electronic to Gambian rock and desert blues.
