When we hear Glastonbury, we all think "music festival", but there are many fun things to do in Glastonbury for families all year round!
Steeped in legend, Somerset is said to have been the home of King Arthur, so it’s fitting that your day should revolve around bringing history to life.
Several attractions in one, Glastonbury Abbey is set in 36 acres of parkland. It features a museum, a glorious open space with a duck pond and a cider orchard, and living history tours between March and October.
The museum itself has lots of different items from the Abbey, including a scale model of what it would’ve looked like in all its glory back in 1539, making it easier for you to imagine King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table there. During high season you may see costumed actors going about their lives, adding another story-telling dimension to this magical place. Transport yourself back in time on a Glastonbury family day out!
Children will love being in one of the oldest abbeys in England. The museum has a children’s display and there are various tours and activities available to keep them entertained and engaged.
