A large area of the Festival (the “green” area) is set aside for complementary and alternative medicine, demonstrations and displays of environmentally-friendly technologies and techniques, various forms of religious expression, and a forum for debating environmental, social and moral issues. The Festival organises market places, selling an enormous range of wares, and which place particular emphasis on offering high quality prepared food and hand-made goods, including clothes and jewellery. The company makes films and recordings of the event, which are sold all over the world. In addition to all of this, the company actively pursues the objective of making a profit.

In the running of the event the Festival deliberately employs the services of these organisations, increasing the amounts they can raise towards their objectives.
