Glastonbury is small town in Somerset with a population of around 9,000 residents. The town has international recognition through the Glastonbury Festival, an annual event which takes place in the nearby village of Pilton. Glastonbury has chosen to adopt Fairtrade practices, and has been a Fairtrade town since 2003. Retailers actively strive to promote Fairtrade products wherever possible.
Visitors are attracted to Glastonbury for a number of reasons. Some make a pilgrimage to the town because of Joseph of Arimathea. Joseph believed Glastonbury to be the birthplace of Christianity in the U.K. The first British church was built in the town and supposedly housed the Holy Grail. Others come Glastonbury Abbey under the assumption that it is the resting place of King Arthur and Guinevere. Some versions of Arthurian legend state that Sir Lancelot retreated to the Abbey in penance following the death of Arthur.
The ruins of the abbey are open to the public to stroll around. The structure has been progressively destroyed over the years with stones being removed for use in local building projects. The Abbot’s Kitchen and Lady Chapel have been well-preserved and are perfect examples of Grade I listed buildings.
Specialist shops cater for the tourists that come to the region primarily over the summer months, selling everything from Joss Sticks to scented Candles.
