Glastonbury Abbey Closure
From Monday 23rd March we have decided to close the abbey grounds in addition to the shop and all other areas of the site, to help restrict the spread of coronavirus.
This has been a difficult decision but we feel we must do so to help prevent the spread of coronavirus and safeguard all our staff and visitors. We will continue to review and act according to government advice so please continue to check our website for further details.
Glastonbury Abbey Members should see the notice in our news section for how this effects your membership.
Thank you for your continuing support and we hope to see you all soon.

Please help the abbey today. All donations go towards the £3000 per day it costs to maintain the abbey for today and future generations.
We are connected with legend to a degree that is unparalleled by any other abbey in England. Since Medieval times, the abbey has held legendary status as the earliest Christian foundation in Britain linked to Joseph of Arimathea and the burial place of King Arthur. Today it is a tranquil setting where you can discover the stories, explore the accredited museum and enjoy a packed events calendar.
