Green Island Festival is an immersive event located within the famous Hulme Garden Centre, connected to the innovative Niamos Radical Arts centre and just a skip away from the heart of Manchester.

This community-inspired event serves as a sanctuary from a hectic urban lifestyle. For many, this will be an opportunity to discover the beauty of the garden centre that has been a cultural epicentre, and community hub in Manchester for decades.

Through a diverse line-up of bands, DJs and speakers on a variety of stages we welcome all to join us in our collective enthusiasm for a world that has no boundaries and embraces the ability to communicate through music and movement.

From the outset the Green Island Festival name has reflected the resident’s social story. A narrative that speaks of escaping the urban landscape and a set of common beliefs and principles. We are a community, and we stand for inspiration that looks outward by championing progressive ideas in environmentalism, social equality and the opposition to the gentrification of Hulme.
