Really sad that my beloved Green Man seems to be focusing on creating more profit by cramming more people in rather than focusing on the atmosphere and experience of their loyal community. Next thing we know they be co run by Live Nation!

We come to GM every year with a big group of friends, many of whom don't meet up that often, and our event shelter key to our festival experience, as well as a practical space to shelter from the Welsh weather. We won't be coming this year given the ban on them and the lack of blue parking.

Come on, man (Green Man), event shelters are more important than the toilet blocks. Stick your extra tents where they would have been. That’d save you more $$$$.

These are essential for when it rains. Especially if you have children

Been coming to GM for 11 years. My enthusiasm for the event has brought you a decent number of people who are now regulars bringing their families. BUT: No shelter, no interest.

This will mean I don’t attend. We attend with other families and part of the fun is the common area created by the event shelter. Especially in wet weather.

Strongly against the ban gazebos, this will destroy the social experience camping with familyand friends and sharing a brew with strangers who become new friends of the festival period.

Shame, ok the lack of blue car parking is inconvenient, however the policy regarding no shelters is regressive and totally against the communal spirit that makes Green Man special, let alone the practical issues of weather and having safe spaces for children.....

Event shelters and gazebos should be allowed at Green Man. People go to be sociable in their groups, not allowing them them spoil this wonderful gathering and atmosphere.

There really isn't any issue with gazebo or event shelters being left at GM fest. GM was one of the few festivals that put attendees first!

This sucks. How are we to cook in the rain? Or are we supposed to fork out for the food tents for a full week?

We always have an event shelter between 5 tents and 19 people. Green Man won't be doable for our group of various ages without one

Gazebos provide much needed breathing space in an increasingly crowded festival.

Designed to cram in more campers, there weren't any left behind and I don't see why they can't be recycled as most of them are made of the same material as tents

Well done for this. We probably won’t be going this year if the ban isn’t lifted which is really sad.

This is a travesty and the late arrival excuse is rubbish. We arrive on the Thursday with 3 tents and a shelter and have never had trouble finding space. If there's not enough room get rid of the tangerine fields - never see anyone in those tents.

Groups of people will still camp together and will end up with a muddy area in the middle of their camp where a gazebo should be. It won’t create any more space. It’ll just kill the experience of hanging out with friends and family. Terrible decision.
