Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Green Man festival anticipates welcoming 25,000 attendees daily to its scenic location in the Black Mountains, which are part of the Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. The event is known for its fiercely independent, sponsorship-free ethos, which allows for freedom in its curation across sixteen stages.

The festival's evolving program encompasses a wide variety of activities, including music, scientific engagement, diverse arts, comedy performances, film screenings, literary discussions, practical workshops, and wellness initiatives. Beyond the festival experience, the Green Man Trust, a separate charitable arm, is active year-round, supporting artist development, addressing social inequalities and poverty, and engaging with the climate crisis. It provides creative, educational, and social development opportunities within the arts and sciences, and assists disadvantaged Welsh communities through community grants and funding for local crises.
