Glastonbury Symposium will return to Glastonbury Town Hall from Friday, 24 July to Sunday, 26 July. The long-running "Expand Your Horizons" event is now in its 36th year and will bring a programme of talks, performers and panel guests to the town centre venue.

Organisers say the gathering explores the paranormal, ancient and modern mysteries, cover-ups, spirituality, freedom issues and other alternative topics.

This year's line-up is due to include Professor Chris Roe from the Society for Psychical Research, UFO researcher Dave Hodrien, 9/11 campaigner Matt Campbell, astrologer Lianne McCafferty and psychedelic entity researcher Maya Bracknell Watson. Organisers say there will be 18 speakers in total across the three-day event.

The Sunday night closing speaker will be John Siddique, author of Signposts of the Spiritual Journey and other titles. The programme also includes performers and panel guests, according to the event organisers.

Pre-booking is advised, with entry on the door subject to availability. Full details and tickets, including live-streaming options for those who cannot attend in person, are available from the Glastonbury Symposium website.
