MORE ACTS ADDED TO GREEN MAN FESTIVAL LINE UP

9:04 AM GMT 07/07/2006

Set in over 20,000 acres of lowland hills and parkland and nestled beneath the Sugar Loaf mountain range, this is the first time Glanusk Estate has ever been opened up to the public. Amongst the historic buildings are the Tower Bridge over the River Usk, the Stable Courtyard, Walled Garden, ancient Celtic Standing Stones and tiered lakeside lawns. The new site is only 25 minutes from Hay On Wye, yet more accessible by road and by mainline railway stations.

In addition to the live acts on 3 stages with music over 3 full days there will also be a DJ tent, improved film, literature and science workshops, stalls and children's entertainment, with DJs playing into the night. The site and bars will both be open from Thursday 17th August at 6.00pm and there will be a new 1.00am licence on Friday and Saturday nights.

This year will also see the addition of a whole new range of vegetarian and meat stalls, from Paella and Organic hamburgers, through to fresh vegetables, salads and Mexican dishes. There will also be new areas added, whilst retaining the unique and intimate Country Fayre atmosphere of the Festival.
