Glastonbury Abbey is going full festive on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November, with its Medieval Christmas Market and Visit Santa at Abbey House events both back in time for Frost Fayre weekend.

The abbey will be free to enter, offering visitors a chance to explore more than 50 stalls, sip mulled cider and mead, and browse seasonal gifts in the atmospheric grounds.

The market runs from 10am to 4:30pm on Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday, with extra entertainment and activities to be confirmed closer to the event.

Families can also head to Abbey House to meet Santa, take part in festive crafts, snap photos, and receive a gift. Each ticket includes free entry for two adults per child, and advance booking is now open via the Glastonbury Abbey website.
