Spa meets music trend: Welsh festival Green Man latest to embrace wellness offerings

The Green Man music festival on the Glanusk Estate in the Brecon Beacons, Wales, is embracing the trend for pop-up wellness offerings for party people who would rather bathe in campsite mud than wade through it.

Glamourous camping, more commonly known as ‘glamping,’ has become a popular UK tourism trend over the past few years and is quickly spreading to music festivals. The on-site Nature Nurture Spa at The Green Man will have hot showers, a wood-fire sauna and an alfresco hot tub during the festival (14-17 August). Spa treatments using organic locally-sourced products are on offer, in addition to flushing toilets, fresh towels and a complimentary glass of champagne.

In a section of the spa facility called the Pamper Parlour, guests can have their hair washed and professionally styled – rather than waiting to wash at home after an entire weekend. Pedicures, manicures, facials and massages are also on the spa menu.

To keep guests entertained there are a number of workshops that will take place including bushcraft, palm reading, meditation, star gazing, spoon carving, didgeridoo lessons and laughter workshops.

There is also a Women’s Sacred Space for quiet and safe learning. Men will be welcome at certain times of the programme.

Other festivals have indulged attendees looking for a more luxurious experience, for example the Angel-Oh! Spa Tent has made several appearances at the Glastonbury music festival over the years – offering a wide range of holistic massages and beauty treatments. Candlelit midnight massage sessions also take place on the Thursday night during the festival.

During the Scottish T in the Park music festival, the Festival Recovery Spa provides campers with a chance to get their hair done, indulge in face or body art and get a massage. Situated in the festival’s sanctuary of calm called ‘The Residence’ the spa is complemented by hot showers, toilets, a secret passage through the campsite to the main arena, a lounge cafe and bar, plus a beauty room with mirrors and hair styling utensils.
