We had so much fun. The entertainment was brilliant and funny, the stalls had lots of amazing things and at great prices and the food was beautiful. Highly recommend and we will be back next year but in fancy dress along with you all.
There has been a Medieval Fayre held within the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey for several years, with the change to using the entire abbey site in 2021 creating an event that seemingly has something new around every corner.
The event has won several awards – including Gold for Event of the Year at the 2023 Bristol, Bath and Somerset Tourism Awards – and attracts thousands of visitors from across the UK and further. The show gets bigger every year and in 2024 there will be even more to see and do than in 2023.
Tickets for the event can be for the day or weekend. The main arena schedule is the same for both days and the opening times are the same for both days. The main arena features two jousts per day, the fancy dress competition, archery and projectile weaponry demonstrations and the battles.
Apart from the main arena there are have-a-go activities throughout the site, living history camps, an excellent and varied medieval market, great food and drink, medieval music and more!
When you buy your Glastonbury Abbey Medieval Fayre tickets in advance from the Glastonbury Abbey website you save £3 on the adult and child ticket and over £4 on the weekend tickets. There is no booking fee and no postage as you will instantly receive digital eTickets that will be scanned on entry to the event.
The fayre is incredible value too. A standard day visit to Glastonbury Abbey costs £11. For only £1 more you get the full Medieval Fayre experience – including main arena shows, have a go activities, medieval music and the amazing jester – as well as the museum and ruins to explore.
