About Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp
Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp was an enduring and iconic protest spanning 19 years from 1981 – 2000.

Contributors:
Rebecca Mordan
Rebecca is the creator of award-winning feminist production hub Scary Little Girls and spent several years of her childhood visiting Greenham. She recently co-wrote and presented The Greenham Effect for the BBC’s Archive on Four, drawing on the 200 plus testimonials she helped gather from Greenham Women as part of the Greenham Women Everywhere project she co-founded. This also led to the publication of her first book, Out of the Darkness: Greenham Voices drawing on these interviews. Join her to chat about your memories of Greenham and hear hers.
Sue Say
Sue Say lived at Greenham for 2 years. On her first evening there, she heard a woman talking to a soldier on the other side of the fence. It was that powerful conversation that kept her at the camp, protesting nuclear missiles but also exploring the multitudes of different ways to be a woman by meeting and talking to “many shades of women”. Sue went to prison many times, took the government to court for illegal strip-searches and won, changing the law in the process. At Green Man, she will be talking about her soon to be published book and inviting you to join her in making friendship bracelets.
Carolyn Francis
Carolyn lived at Greenham in a hollowed-out holly tree from Summer 1984. She became a Buddhist at Greenham and the personal impact of her time there changed the course of her life.
Carolyn is a well known for her research, composition, performance and teaching of Cumbrian fiddle and border bagpipe tunes. She is currently focussing on expressing the relationship between traditional music, place and landscape, and reaching new audiences in order to expand the community playing, enjoying and participating in this music.
Pearl Love
Alongside song writing and performing, Pearl is a workshop facilitator, harmony sharer and choir leader. Pearl grew up around group singing and has always felt the power of singing with others and the community it can create. It is her belief that everyone should have access to the uplifting joy and sense of connection that singing in harmony can bring. Pearl teaches harmony songs and rounds, from a range of traditions, in a friendly and lightly humorous way. Each song is taught by ear, so no experience is needed, and every voice is welcome!
You can also catch Pearl leading Mindful Music workshops in the Little Folk Field this weekend.
Pixie Taylor
Pixie went to Greenham when she was 18, living at Green Gate from 1985-86 and returning to live at Blue Gate from 1991-1994. She has been a Forest School leader since 2002 and feels passionately that is vital for us to enable and encourage children today to connect with the natural environment. Pixie will be teaching people how to build their own Greenham-style camp, using natural materials and simple techniques.
Jill ‘Ray’ Raymond
Ray lived at Greenham for around 12 years and she was part of a core group who stayed and took part in actions such as the famous protest when they danced on the silos on New Years Eve and cut through miles of fencing.
Drop-in for some craftivism with Ray who will be running practical web weaving sessions and sharing the history of Web Weaving as feminist protest.
And more TBC. Free to festival ticket holders.

Creative Commons
2025-09-13 11:00 - 2025-09-14 18:00 | Greenham Common, Burys Bank Road, Thatcham, RG19 6HN
This September, the Corn Exchange Newbury and 101 Outdoor Arts present Creative Commons, a remarkable weekend of free outdoor arts marking 25 years since Greenham Common was returned to public ownership.
Over two vibrant days, Greenham Common will be transformed into an open-air stage, animated by performances and installations specially commissioned to honour the site’s rich and complex history. Audiences can expect a dynamic mix of aerial circus, street theatre, dance, music and interactive artworks, each offering a unique perspective on the Common’s journey from Cold War military base and site of an internationally renowned Women’s Peace Camp to flourishing wildlife sanctuary. Creative Commons promises a bold and imaginative celebration of place, memory and creativity, and an unmissable moment in Greenham’s continuing story.
Our Artistic Director Rebecca Mordan will be giving three talks each day about her memories of her time at Greenham as a child, our Greenham archive, and a few songs with her ukulele! Becca will also be doing Q&A’s after each talk alongside a mini exhibition. Stay tuned for more details.
Simon Chatterton, 101 Outdoor Arts’ Strategic Lead said “Creative Commons is an an unmissable opportunity to celebrate a fascinating and unique piece of our history. Through a single location, Greenham tells stories of environmental restoration and resilience, of refugees fleeing to safety in the UK, of battles over land ownership land of historic militarism and of popular protest in the face of an existential threat to the planet. We hope that through our programme thousands more people will be aware of the remarkable swords to ploughshares story of the Common and enjoy it for the remarkable place of natural beauty it now is.”

Kernewek Keskesow Cabaret – Helston Old Chapel
2026-04-24 19:30 - 21:00 | Helston Old Cemetery, A394, Helston, TR13 8JA, United Kingdom
Join us at Helston Old Chapel cabaret night of songs and stories from Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp, sharing tales of peaceful protest in Cornish and English!
In September 1981, a group of women marched from Cardiff to RAF Greenham Common to protest the siting of American cruise missiles on British soil. What began as a ten-day walk became a 19-year occupation that changed the face of peaceful protest forever. Women from across Britain—including many from Cornwall—left their homes, their jobs, sometimes their families, to live in benders and tents through every weather, facing arrest, eviction and hostility, united by the belief that they could change the world. And they did.
Now, we invite you to an evening celebrating the extraordinary contribution Cornish women made to this iconic movement.
Join us for a cabaret night filled with songs and stories from Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp. Through verbatim theatre and music, performers including Rebecca Mordan (Artistic Director of Scary Little Girls and co-founder of the Greenham Women Everywhere archive project) alongside Cornish bards Bec Applebee and Fiona O’Cleirigh will share the tales of the peace women—in both Cornish and English—creating an evening of rousing performances that honours their courage, creativity and defiance.
Whether you were there, you remember watching it on the news, or you’re discovering this remarkable piece of women’s history for the first time, this is an evening to honour the women who proved that peaceful, creative resistance can move the world.
