Greenbelt has, for 12 years, happened in the beautiful grounds of Boughton House, a stately home in Northamptonshire. This is the last full festival there, which is sad.
- Role: setting
- In the article: Dave Walker’s newsletter gives a ten-point diary of the August bank-holiday festival in the grounds: bands (including the Proclaimers), talks, poetry, rain and mud, food stalls, and a golf-cart ride.
- Why it matters: The grounds are the issue’s main subject, and the farewell to the site gives it its wistful note.
