About this activity
Glastonbury Abbey is set in 36 acres of beautiful grounds, with a variety of events and activities to explore. The abbey has a unique history that combines spirits and legends!
The abbey has a Kids Go Free offer during selected periods of the year, to help the whole family enjoy the history and location. The abbey is located in the centre of Glastonbury town and its accessed through the stone arch on Magdalene street. It's an open air visit and you can explore inside and outside too!
They hold a number of tours and talks too to help you uncover the history of the richest abbey in England. You can go for Badger Walks as you make your way through the grounds or go on an archaeological tour where you'll see some of the highlight and discover what may lie beneath your feet!
They also run lots of family activities too! Make ladbybird and dragonfly bookmarks, rainbow suncatchers and even join in sessions of storytelling, rhymes and songs on selected days! They also do mini beast hunts where you'll get ou in the fresh air and get up close to nature.
