This upcoming weekend, Glastonbury and Street are set to host an eclectic array of events that promise entertainment and a deep dive into the heart of community, history, and culture.

In a strong gesture towards unity and inclusion, the Meare Village Inclusion Walk on Sunday, 14th April, invites residents and supporters to gather at 10 am at the Meare Village Playing Field, BA6 9PU. This event, supported by Mayor Indra Donfrancesco among other notable figures, isn't just a march; it's a bold statement against racism and a reaffirmation of Meare as a welcoming, safe space for all. Inspired by recent events, the community aims to show solidarity within the village.

As Glastonbury looks towards the future, the Glastonbury Town Deal Open Day on Saturday, 13th April, from 11 am to 3 pm at the Town Hall, offers residents a chance to engage with the transformative projects funded by the government's Towns Fund grant. This event showcases the ambitious plans set to revitalise the town, from infrastructure improvements to community and cultural enhancements. It's a unique chance to get an inside look at what's in store for Glastonbury, with further information for interested local businesses available at Somerset Supply Chain.
