Glastonbury-on-Sea

Glastonbury-on-Sea welcomes one and all to experience the Great British seaside tradition of strolling along the promenade, up to the end of The Pier. Positioned next to The Park stage, Glastonbury-on-Sea stands tall in a sea of tents, with marvellous views across the entire site. 

Nothing sums up the quintessentially British seaside holiday destination quite like Glastonbury-on-Sea Pier. The Victorian-style pier is the brainchild of Glastonbury Festival resident artist and founder of The Mutoid Waste Company, Joe Rush, who designed the 60m-long pier, modelled on a traditional British Victorian piers and art directed by Wreckage International, also a Mutoid Waste Company member. 

Joe Rush says “The Pier is painted gold, which makes it slightly different to the Victorian ones – all in spangly-gold with mirror balls which is a bit Glastonbury – but it is also a traditional Pier. The idea for the structure is based on a Victorian pier from the 1950s and is inspired by my childhood in Hastings”.

Glastonbury-on-Sea area organisers are the female duo Showponies Studio. Coming from the world of circus, theatre & fashion the Showponies Studio core duo, Leila Jones and Meg Lawrence, work with an ever-expanding family of incredible artists, producers and creatives.
