To perform at the UK’s Greenest Festival this August

Following last months hugely successful Glastonbury festival, the organisers of the Croissant Neuf solar powered venue are now looking forward to welcoming back Ed Sheeran to their own award winning  festival The Croissant Neuf Summer Party taking place near Usk from the 12th-14th August.  www.partyneuf.co.uk

Ed Sheeran packed out the  solar-powered Big Top that sits in the heart of Glastonbury’s Greenfields at last year’s event. This rising star’s debut single The A Team recently rocketed to Number 3 in the charts and this weekend he wowed crowds at Glastonbury. With an enormous online following his music has been greeted with widespread critical acclaim including BBC Radio One. His current tour is on the brink of selling out and Croissant Neuf Summer Party is a great opportunity to see the talented singer in action. Croissant Neuf Director Andy Hope says:

‘Ed Sheeran is a treat to watch- only 20 years old yet working the crowd like a seasoned pro. Combined with sets from The Beat and Steve Knightley presents: Show of Hands we’re looking forward to a very exciting line up at Croissant Neuf Summer Party this August.’

It’s not just the music that makes Croissant Neuf Summer Party the stand-out festival this Summer. This family-oriented festival follows a pioneering and innovative approach to tackling green issues and has recently won a string of awards including a Green Parent Highly Recommended Award, the People and Environment (PEA) Award in the Arts and Music category , and a Greenest Festival in the UK Award for two years running. All power on site from the magnificent Big Top’s lighting and sound system to the refrigerators, are solar powered and huge battery banks ensure the music doesn’t stop when the sun goes down!! The food stalls offer fresh, organic and locally sourced food all perfectly washed down with an organic tipple from the Stagger Inn.

Croissant Neuf are proud to report that festival goers at last year’s Summer Party generated on average less than 50% of the CO2 than if they’d stayed at home and had a normal weekend.

Croissant Neuf Summer Party is run by a family with families in mind. Taking place next to a beautiful Iron Age Hill Fort near Usk, the setting provides the perfect backdrop for an inspirational family holiday. Little ones are catered for with a programme of activities including games, sports and workshops running through the weekend.

So don’t let the post-Glastonbury blues get you down, there are plenty of treats still in store this summer!
