We will be kicking off this years festival tour at our natural home, Glastonbury festival. We will be lighting the fire Thursday night and keep it burning till Monday morning.

The campfire sessions will start at midnight and will run ’till 3am, with acoustic performances from bands such as: Handshake, Sound of Rum, Lissie, Fionn Regan, Frank Turner, The Drums, Beans on Toast, I Blame Coco, Depot and many many more. Swing by and say hi during the day to find out who’s playing that night, rest your feet on our many sofas, grab a tea from our cafe or take part in our drumming workshops.

We’re here to provide warmth, encourage conversation, listen to amazing music and generally spread the love. Everybody’s welcome.
Loads of love,
Strummerville xxx
