Glastonbury and Local Interest
The Town and its facilities

Glastonbury, England is a very busy and unique provincial town. Being small, it has never attracted the large multi-national chains and commercial shops. Yet its history, landscape and special atmosphere has brought together a vibrant and artistic community that has resulted in farmers markets, travelling theatre groups, excellent live music and a network of cafes and bookshops. Everybody has heard of the famous mid-summer Glastonbury Festival, but in fact this is just the largest in a series of summer long festivals which are based around music, dance, art, spirituality, poetry, crafts: there is even a special children's festival every year in August.

The Glastonbury Tourist Office can give details of events coming up and provide information on public transport, ticket availability etc. We can arrange taxi pick-ups from the nearest train station at Castle Cary (14 miles away on the London Paddington Taunton line) or Sherborne (16 miles on the London Waterloo Exeter St. David's line). We can also put you in touch with very good professional guided tours of the local surrounds and further afield from Stonehenge and Avebury to Tintagael and Cornwall.
