Community Tent
New for 2022 is our new Community Tent, located in the East Field towards the top of the ring of stalls around the Acoustic Stage near the Gate 1 entrance. It is actually labelled LWA Tent in the site plan, because our friends at the Land Workers Alliance were going to be running it, but sadly had to pull out quite late in the day. Instead we are delighted that the Community Tent will be filled with a great mix of local green initiatives and local food producers – part local green projects and part local farmers market!
Herbal Brue
Love Community Healing. A new project based between Street and Glastonbury with the aim to set up a no to low cost herbal clinic. Currently holding Community Medicine Making Days, where attendees forage and create remedies for the herbal medicine cabinet. The aim is to be a sustainable project promoting solidarity not charity.
