Delve into the mysticism and mythology with a visit the English market town of Glastonbury.

England's scenic landscapes are home to a mix of historic wonders and romantic legends, going back to Camelot and beyond. Tucked into the southwest corner of England is Glastonbury, one of the best places to contemplate the country's mythic past and a common stop for religious pilgrims.

Glastonbury was a religious site as far back as the Bronze Age — about 1500 B.C. It's considered the birthplace of Christianity in England, and the legendary burial site of King Arthur. Today, Glastonbury is popular with those on their own spiritual quest, and synonymous with its summer music and arts festival — one of the largest in the world. Part of the fun of a visit here is just being in a town where every other shop has a New Age focus, and where "alternative" is the norm.

What do our tickets include?

Because there is so much to do in Glastonbury, we have a few ticket options available:

Full Package – Visit Glastonbury with a guided walk of the Tor, entrance to Glastonbury Abbey and Chalice Well included

Glastonbury Abbey - Visit Glastonbury with a guided walk of the Tor and entrance to Glastonbury Abbey included

Just Glastonbury – Visit Glastonbury with a guided walk of the Tor. Entrance to the Abbey and Chalic Well not included.

Student tickets are researved for Cardiff University Students. Non Student tickets are available for either just Glastonbury or the full package so you can bring along your family & friends!

We would also advise you to bring a small packed lunch.
