Glastonbury Festivals in the Vale of Avalon Part 3

Glastonbury Festivals in the Vale of Avalon Part 1

The Vale of Avalon has been a place of pilgrimage, magic, mystery, and worship for millennia. It’s one of the most important and prominent areas in Arthurian legend and Faery lore in the whole of the British Isles. It’s also rich farming country that produces rich milk and delicious apples that make potent cider, but that’s another story.

Those who enjoy today’s Glastonbury Festivals are following the steps taken by their forbears in a tradition of celebration, music, and the arts. For those of you who are curious about the beginnings of the current sequence of Glastonbury Festivals and for those who might like a trip down memory lane here’s a copy of the Glastonbury Fayre program from 1979.
