2025-09-13 11:00 - 2025-09-14 18:00 (Europe/London) | 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.”
