The Atchin Tan / Stopping Place
Look for the Bow Top Wagon tower at the top of the Theatre & Circus Fields, and you’ll find The Atchin Tan, named in honour of the now almost extinct traditional resting places and park-ups which Britain’s nomadic people have used for generations.
The Atchin Tan provides a platform to raise awareness of the issues affecting Britain’s Romany, Irish Traveller, Traveller, Roma and nomadic communities. From learning about the decimation of safe stopping places, to finding out about the contribution of Travellers to Glastonbury Festival’s history.
Thank you all for making Atchin Tan at Glastonbury 2024 such a vibrant and memorable event! Your enthusiasm for the music, art and discussions brought our area to life. Thanks to all the visitors who joined us to enjoy our space, taking the time to learn more about some of the issues our communities face. A special thanks to our incredible speakers, musicians, artists and wider crew.
We hope to see you again next year. Until then, stay connected and keep the spirit alive!
