Glastonbury Town Council's one-day winter street fair, with stalls throughout the town centre, five music stages and the Christmas lights switch-on.
The Frost Fayre is Glastonbury's big festive street fair, run by the town council on a Saturday in late November. Stalls fill the streets of the town centre and spill into Glastonbury Abbey House, the United Reformed Church, St Benedict's Church and St John's Church, alongside late-night shopping.
There is live music on five stages, buskers, street entertainment and children's shows, fairground rides in St Dunstan's car park, and a lantern-making workshop for the Christmas parade. The Mayor opens the fayre at midday and the Market Square Christmas tree lights are switched on at 5pm; Father Frost appears with the Mayor and Town Crier.
A Park & Ride runs from Herbies Field (8am–7.30pm), with an overflow car park at Butlers Carnival Park; donations are welcomed.
