Glastonbury Abbey Closure: Update
Glastonbury Abbey closed for visitors on Monday March 23rd and remains closed following government guidance around restricting the spread of Covid-19. From April 1st there will be no one monitoring email, social media or phone lines for the abbey. All correspondence will be answered once staff return to work though we have no date for this at present. News will be posted to our Facebook page and website as it occurs.
We hope you all stay safe and well and look forward to seeing you at the abbey in the future.

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.
