Event organiser John Baine stated:
“The landowner of the site, Jenny, has confirmed that their plan to turn the back half of the main music barn into storage space is going ahead. This means that the remaining half of the barn will be turned over to the beer, cider, band merchandise etc and will be a seated/chill out space. All the music/spoken word will be on a truck stage which will be flat against the back wall of the adjacent outside barn and this will become the main concert area. The original plan to have a separate acoustic stage has been scrapped, because it is obvious that the music on the truck stage would have been a major interference”.
John Baine added:
“Our decision to return this year was taken in the firm belief that we would do everything to help people to feel comfortable and safe, with plenty of room, and so we are reducing capacity from 550 to 350, which also obviously means that the number of beers will be reduced: rest assured that Alex’s choices will be as unique and eclectic as ever!”

The Brighton & Hove News attended all three days of the last two Glastonwick festivals and was taken aback as to how friendly and relaxed this event actually is. There was no nastiness or modern day pressures – just sunshine, music, liquid refreshment and pleasing company – Read our 2019 report HERE and our 2018 reports HERE, HERE and HERE.
