Glastonbury Festival Of Contemporary Performing Arts - Information - Educational resources

Glastonbury Festival gets many requests for detailed information from people writing projects at all levels, from GCSE to PhD.  Providing this on an individual basis in the past has been very time consuming and frequently Festival staff felt they were writing large chunks of project reports for students!

This information pack has been developed to allow students to find the answers themselves to the most common questions that have been raised previously. Once you have investigated what is available in the pack - and on the website generally - if there are any aspects of specific interest to you not covered, or you have any further questions please telephone Dick Vernon on 01458 834596 during normal office hours.

The Festival is pleased to help students who are carrying out research as part of their course work by providing this information for them.  It would be appreciated if students were to forward to the Festival Office (at 28 Northload Street, Glastonbury, Somerset BA6 9JJ) a copy of any project reports or dissertations that are written about the Festival using the information supplied as we love to hear what you are doing!  

We hope this is of use to you, but if there is anything else please contact us at the Festival Office.

Good luck!
