Glastonbury is a unique small town. Almost every shop is an independent, offering wondrous things! From crystals, spell books and cauldrons to recycled clothes, art work and jewellery.

Glastonbury attracts creative people of all kinds. There are three galleries including our own, Facets of Avalon, as well as many cafes and restaurants displaying locally made art and craft.

There is a fantastic range of food available. Something for everyone. Highly recommended would be The Hundred Monkeys at the top of the High Street and the Café Galatea, lower down if you're not in a hurry.

The Assembly rooms on the High Street always has some form of performance on offer. Most of the pubs offer music at the weekends.

What ever type of healing attracts you it will be available here!

Annual events which attract people globally, include the Glastonbury Festival in June, which actually vacates the town. The site is in Pilton about five miles away. This is a good time to see the town when it's quiet!

July sees the Crop Circle Conference happen in the Town Hall. Some very interesting speakers and coach tours are available to see the circles first hand.

August has the Goddess Conference also in the Town Hall, organised by Kathy Jones. A hugely enjoyable event attracting men now as well as women. It is a celebration of the female and great fun! Lots of ceremony, singing and dancing.

October and halloween is an important time for the town.

November sees the famous carnival with electric bulb covered floats go up the high street.

Christmas often sees the shops get into the festive spirit, giving free mulled wine and mince pies to customers.

All year round, Glastonbury is a special place and well worth a visit.
