The Markets

One Saturday a month, the High Street comes alive.

Independent traders, handmade craft, vintage finds and street food fill St John's Church, its grounds and Glastonbury's Market Place. Live musicians and Mario Morris the Bardic Magician join us every month, with puppet shows, bubble performers and circus acts dropping in across the season. Here's what a day with us looks like.

What you'll find

A whole day of small, independent, handmade.

Independent traders

You'll meet the makers, growers and small businesses behind each pitch, no mass-produced filler.

Handmade craft

Ceramics, textiles, jewellery, prints, candles, soaps and one-off pieces from artists living and working across the South West and beyond.

Vintage & curiosities

Preloved fashion, antique finds, oddities and treasures, the kind of stalls you want to slow down at and dig through.

Food & drink

Street food, bakes, coffee and small-producer treats. Sit out on the grounds with something warm and watch the High Street go by.

Live music & entertainment

Acoustic sets, folk and roving musicians throughout the day, plus Mario Morris the Bardic Magician every month, and some months you'll catch puppet shows, bubble performers or circus acts too. Part of why the market feels less like shopping and more like a gathering.

Inside & out

Stalls fill St John's Church, its grounds and the surrounding High Street. Rain or shine, there's always a sheltered corner to wander into.

New this season

A new space round the back of the church.

A quiet, grassy spot

We've opened up the space behind the church, a calm, green spot with sunny and shady corners to get lost in, and beanbags to flop into.

Stalls & street food

More stalls and street food traders now spread round the back, so there's even more to wander through and discover.

Music & entertainment

Live music and roving entertainment carry through to the new space too. Grab a beanbag, find your spot and settle in.

Café in the church

Step inside the church for the café: hot and cold drinks, cakes and hot savoury food. Eat there or out on the grass with whatever you've picked up from the stalls.

Acoustic jamming space

Bring an instrument and join in — this is an acoustic jamming space, with informal players welcome to play around our booked performers.

A day at the market

How the day unfolds.

We open at 10 am and trade until 4 pm. Mornings are quieter and easier for browsing; afternoons get livelier as music kicks in and the High Street fills up.

10:00

Doors open

Stalls are set up inside the church and across the grounds. A calm start with coffee in hand, perfect for the careful shoppers.

11:30

Music starts

Acoustic sets and roving entertainment gets going. The High Street fills up; chat with the makers while they're still free to talk.

13:00

Lunch outside

Street food traders hit their stride. Find a grassy spot at the front of the grounds or a beanbag round the back of the church, watch the town go by and the live entertainment, then pick up something for the walk back.

16:00

We wind down

Stalls pack down and we hand the High Street back to Glastonbury. See you the same Saturday next month.

Where to find us

St John's Church, on the High Street.

Stalls fill the church, its grounds and spill out down the Glastonbury High Street.

Good to know

A few practical things.

Entry

Free, all welcome

No tickets, no admission. Drop in any time between 10 am and 4 pm, stay five minutes or stay all day.

Cash & card

Most stalls take card

Most traders accept contactless these days, but a little cash is always handy for smaller pitches.

Family & dogs

Kids, pushchairs & pups

Buggy-friendly with step-free routes around the grounds, and well-behaved dogs welcome on a lead. Plenty of water bowls dotted about and traders who'll happily say hello.

Public toilets

In St John's car park

The church doesn't have toilets, but St John's car park across the road has four toilets plus a disabled toilet (radar key required).

Weather

Rain or shine

We run in all weathers, much of the market is sheltered inside the church if the Somerset sky turns on you.

Accessibility

Step-free access

Step-free entry into the church and around the grounds, with accessible parking in the nearby St John's and Butt Close car parks.

Why we do this

More than a market, a day out for the town.

The Tor Collective markets are a grassroots way of keeping the High Street alive and the small, independent maker at the heart of it. Come for the shopping, stay for the music, and leave with something made by someone you've actually met.
