Theatre & Circus

A very big thank you to all who chose to spend precious time this year exploring, indulging and delighting in all that the fabulous fields of Theatre and Circus have to offer. Your smiling faces, cheering voices and clapping hands helped make T&C such a beautiful place to be. Give yourselves a round of applause.

Now jump in and take a bow all of you who contributed so hard to put those smiles on and keep them there through 5 beautiful days and nights and 1,500 wonderful shows and spectaculars. 

Here is a small selection of photos of this year by our resident lens smith Charles Gervais. I hope they bring back happy memories or inspire you to put a T&C visit on your festival bucket list.

We are all also very much indebted to my late wife Arabella Churchill, who started the T&C ball rolling back in the early eighties, and whose legacy can still be felt today, seventeen years after her untimely passing: not only in the way in which we deliver this amazing array of talent, but also in the way the T&C area and crew at Glastonbury supports the local Children’s World Charity, which Arabella created as a direct result of her involvement with the early festivals. The charity provides creative and educational workshops for children across the South West of England.

As we head forward to the 2025 festival, I would like to leave you with this wonderful collaboration of poetry and motion by videographer Steve Connor and 2023 poet-in-residence Katie Ailes.
