The Glastonbury Abbey Medieval Fayre will return on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 April 2026, following a sold-out weekend earlier this year.

Organisers have confirmed that the two-day event will once again feature jousting displays, historical re-enactments, live music, traditional markets and family activities.

Early bird tickets will be released at 10am on Thursday 28 August, with adult day tickets priced at £15 and weekend tickets at £22.50.

These discounted rates will be available until Wednesday 4 September.

From Thursday 5 September, full-price tickets will cost £20 for a day pass and £30 for a weekend pass.

Entry remains free for under-16s, and Glastonbury Abbey PLUS Members can also claim a free weekend ticket.

The annual event sees the abbey grounds transformed with medieval-themed entertainment and attractions, drawing visitors from across the region. Attractions are expected to include armoured combat displays, living history encampments, medieval musicians, artisan traders and costumed performers.

Tickets can be purchased via the official Glastonbury Abbey website.

The Glastonbury Abbey is a sponsor of Glastonbury Nub News.
