By the end of August Bank Holiday weekend, around 21,000 people had come through the gates of Cheltenham Racecourse – nearly 2,000 up on last year – and together we enjoyed a Festival to remember. Greenbelt 2009 – Standing in the Long Now – left the soul fed and the heart warmed.

Some of our memories are captured in the photos you see here. For more like these, check out greenbelt.org.uk/photos

From the moment we arrived I felt that I was going to have an astonishingly good time. I just hadn’t grasped how good it could be. The mix of thoughtful people, campaigners, music, talks and more turned out to be simply inspiring.One festival-goer on solobasssteve.com

There is a certain freedom here; a fearlessness, which I find absolutely compelling.Rob Bell

The Festival was such a wonderful celebration of people putting their values into action.Harriet Lamb

I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed Greenbelt. People were so open and receptive to what I had to say. I’ve told any number of people that, of all the events I’ve been a part of, Greenbelt ranks in the top three! Truly, it was a wonderful thing to be with you, and I can see why people return year after year.Gene Robinson
