Glastonbury Festival 2013

Theatre & circus

The Theatre and Circus fields are away from the main stages, but are more than worth the trip! The fields are situated along the eastern fringes of the site on some of the most historic and beautiful farmland in Somerset.

Theatre and Circus offers an amazing array of entertainment from the sublime to the ridiculous - a plethora of acts - breath taking, thought provoking and astounding. Theatre and Circus gives a unique opportunity to observe, participate in and experience outstanding performance art at its best. Covering three fields, the area has seven venues, countless walkabouts, installations and ground shows.
