Families need Gazebos to feed and entertain their children in. As a family friendly festival, you can't ban them!

Gazebos I understand cheap and throwaway. But Event shelters are full on camping equipment. How are families going to commune out of the inevitable rain

Will completely change our whole Greenman 5 day experience without our much used gazebo !

This is just ludicrous. With week long camping and families it feels utterly backwards to make this move.

We were one of the last to leave and did not see any gazebos left behind...didn’t see your questionnaire at the festival either...

So sad! We’ve been coming for 12 years. Please make an exception for those with Settlers passes at least!

Gutted, so looking forward to meeting extended family at greenman under the events shelter.What would we do if raining? Not enough cover in the festival.

Settling in family groups with no gazebo/shelter would be difficult. Last year 11 tents shared 3 shelters doesn’t seem unreasonable

At least settlers should be able to have shelters. For the first 3/4 days, there is very little to do at the festival. Therefore, these people should be able to camp with shelter (that isn't an enclosed, hot tent) from the sun and rain.

Please reverse the ‘no gazebo’ policy. It is anti-friendship, anti social and misguided

Unless you;re moving the festival to somewhere sunnier please reconsider.

An odd decision - particularly in an area where it rains so very much...

If this decision is not overturned I will not be attending the 2020 festival. I brought my 2 yr old to 2019 and our event shelter (shared by our party of 8) was a godsend during the terrible weather.

Some of us have been bringing and taking away our shelters for years. The shelter means that the group members with families have space to feed and sit when the rain comes.please don’t punish everyone for the few who are not being responsible.

I wouldn’t come if parts weren’t sheltered

Bad decision, you are about to turn your festival into a completely different type of event. If that’s what you want.. good luck. Not sure the local residents will be as pleased when the families stop coming.. you are heading towards a festival just like any other with a mosh pit! Our highlight of the year has just been ruined!

How silly! It rains a lot in wales and with small children a shelter is pretty essential! We have a fabulous event shelter and wouldn’t even dream of leaving it behind!

It pours down most years at greenman. With no general under cover spaces it would be a nigjtmare camping without somewhere to chill out of the rain

So disappointed. Such a poor decision. Our group of family and friends have been for the last 6 years. And would unquestionably have gone to the next 6. Not so sure now and researching other festivals. If we go, it will be with bigger family tents (which we are fortunate to have access to) and will take up more more space than we did with a gazebo and small tents.
