Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Information - Deafzone

The team from Deafzone will again be returning to Glastonbury to present a veritable mix of visual wonder; there will be a team of interpreters for Deaf festival goers to access the full range of acts that are offered in the Glastonbury experience, plus there will be sign language classes for keen hearing festival goers!

How to book a BSL/English Interpreter – before the festival 
If you want to make sure you get an interpreter for what you want then you can get in touch with Deafzone before the festival to make bookings.
 
Most headline acts and some performances in the Poetry & Words, Astrolabe and Leftfield  tents will be allocated interpreters. Other than that interpreters are allocated on a first-come first-served basis so once the line-up has been announced get your requests in for any bands, comedy, theatre or other events that you will want an interpreter for. 
 
For advance bookings and information please email: deafzoneglastonbury@gmail.com 

Before the festival we will send you confirmation of your request and let you know when an interpreter has been allocated. We will also include details of where to meet the interpreter and at what time.
 
How to book a BSL/English Interpreter – during the festival 
 
For information about BSL interpreted events and to make bookings during the festival please make your way to the DeafZone tent situated near the meeting point in the market area. 

Sign language for hearing festival goers

If you want to come and learn the basics in British Sign Language then you can sign up for a class in the sunshine at the DeafZone tent.
