Didn't it used to be some kind of open air maze thingy near Greenpeace?

That was Beam. Though it's now called...

THE RHIZOSPSHERE

New for 2023 is The Rhizosphere, a perception-shifting destination located behind the Sun Stage to experience life amongst its roots in technicolour wonder. Dedicated to celebrating the importance of soil to humankind, it’s a versatile space created by artists Poppy Flint and Benji Bailes (Underfoot) which hosts multi-sensory exhibits, workshops and myco-feasts by day before transforming into a party space as night falls. It features artists in residence, live bio-sonification and celebrates the queerness of nature. Areeba Hamid, Greenpeace Co-Executive Director, will join the Rhizosphere team for an exclusive discussion and on Saturday afternoon LION (Land In Our Names) will be hosting a BPOC only workshop space. The Rhizosphere is the latest evolution of BEAM – a walk-through sculptural installation and standing dead wood habitat that was created in 2019 by multi-award winning artist Wolfgang Buttress, best known for his Hive sculpture at Kew Gardens.

Literally just been looking at this and trying to figure out what / where the hive is.  I think you're right, that there is/was an installation near greenpeace that was called Hive or the Hive.  But there's an actual stage with a lineup, which wouldn't work on that installation (which I've only seen pics of), also called the hive...

Pretty sure that it's the dome structure going up right now. It's on your right if you take the cut through to the BBC Intro field on the left as you walk south through Silver Hayes. I went past it a couple of times last year. It has a full line-up listed on the big schedule webpage for this year.

Got to spruce it up somehow.

So it's just a green CND badge instead of a blue one - makes sense given the peace procession and human peace sign.

Green peace?

[WforWill]

So why is it green? And did the old blue have a particular meaning?

...because they have to change the sign and it's a cheap and easy option to just paint it a different colour.

Folks, I know this is completely off topic. But is there a thread about which campsites fill up first etc? Struggling to find one. Cheers

What’s the dark green fence (?) about at Pennards? Seems way up the hill if connected to the traders towards the bottom.
