DeafZone 2011 presents a veritable mix of visual wonder; there are sign language classes for keen hearing punters, plus a team of interpreters for deaf festival-goers to access the full range of acts that are offered in the Glastonbury experience.

Sign language for hearing punters
If you want to come and learn the basics in British Sign Language then sign up for a class in the sunshine at the DeafZone tent, we are situated near the meeting point in the market area.

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 it is best to tell us before the Festival starts.

Most headline acts and some programmes in the Poetry & Words, Astrolabe and Leftfield are allocated interpreters.

Other than that interpreters are allocated on a first-come first-served basis so get your requests in now for any bands, comedy, theatre or other events that you will want an interpreter for. For advance bookings please email: deafzoneglastonbury@gmail.com

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, we are situated near the meeting point in the market area.

Please note: All out interpreters have met the criteria to register as full members to NRCDP/ASLI/VLP and have a clear enhanced disclosure CRB.

Greenpeace have teamed up with Cowshed Studio London and Mi7 Records to create an unprecedented opportunity for all musicians who are coming to Glastonbury this year – a world-class recording studio complete with two performance stages, operating under the theme Raising Voices.

The stages will be made available to unsigned acts coming to the Festival, both to play and participate in song writing and other workshops. From these performances, eight acts a day will be chosen by audience vote to record in our purpose built studio overseen by professional producers, using vintage instruments and state of the art equipment.

Greenpeace are encouraging all writers, musicians and vocalists to participate under the theme Raising Voices, using their skills to promote positive change and in the process, create a body of work intended to stimulate interest in the protest song.

After five days of making music Greenpeace are also hoping that a new song will be composed and recorded during the festival which can be used around the world to celebrate the launch of the new Rainbow Warrior flagship when she joins the Greenpeace fleet later this year.

Aspiring performers who are attending Glastonbury can find out more by visiting http://cowshedglasto.tumblr.com.

Shangri-La is the after-hours pleasure city of the Festival – a futuristic and dystopian wonderland created by over 1,500 crew and artists. The entire field is designed as a Blade Runner inspired urban film-set, and has its own unique rolling narrative that has evolved over the last three years, creating a brilliant and bizarre alternative world for you to get lost in.

The 2011 storyline is pre-apocalyptic – the population of Shangri–La is preparing to flee to before the end of the world in 2012. They’ve given up on trying to save the planet, and a virulent disease is spreading rapidly through the squalid slums. Instead they’ve colonised a new planet and the first transport there ships out on Monday. This is the last party before they go, a rave to end all raves…

Click here to check out details of all Shangri-La’s plans for 2011 – it really is well worth reading it all.
