18 Centuries—One Weekend
Step back in time and experience almost 2,000 years of history in Through the Ages, a multi-period re-enactment weekend at Glastonbury Abbey!
Across Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th September, the abbey grounds will feature a host of historical encampments, bringing to life the people of the ages that shaped Glastonbury and the wider region. Meet re-enactors portraying the Roman, Romano-British, Anglo-Saxon, Viking, Norman, Medieval and Civil War periods, and discover how ways of life transformed across the centuries.
Visitors can explore scenes of day-to-day life in living history displays, and witness arena demonstrations showcasing weaponry techniques, technological marvels and much more! (Full display schedule coming soon).
Each period represented offers a unique snapshot in time, collectively marking the story of Glastonbury Abbey's journey from its earliest origins to the upheavals of the English Civil War.
Whether you're a passionate history enthusiast, a family seeking a fun day out or simply curious about the rich heritage of Glastonbury, Through The Ages offers a chance to discover the people and events that made Glastonbury one of England's most significant historic sites.
