Why Visit Glastonbury Abbey?
Glastonbury Abbey is more than a historic ruin it is a national treasure which has avoided becoming complacent as an attraction. Those entrusted with its care go to great lengths to put on exciting events, interesting demonstrations and enliven visitors imaginations. It is also a regular setting for musical performances, outdoor plays and a romantic day out for couples to enjoy. The abbey has a range of retail facilities to enable visitors to take something away from the building to remember their day by. The gift shop sells a wide selection of crystals and semi precious stones. There is also a modern visitor centre outlining the history of the abbey, making the attraction an ideal place for school trips and family outings. Glastonbury itself is also a stroll away, giving visitors the opportunity to turn their visit into a weekend break. During the summer the small town holds a massive music festival, which day tickets can be bought for.
