Run by Michael Eavis (of Glastonbury Festival) for ten years, Glastonbury Abbey Extravaganza is the new format for what used to be the "Classical Extravaganza".

Set in the grounds of Glastonbury Abbey, there have been many memorable performances. This unique event has grown in stature over the years and is already a high spot in the musical calendar of the South West.

It's a real occasion, with fireworks, lights, candelabra and picnics.

Back by popular demand is Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orchestra on the Friday; The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on the Saturday for the classical evening and the Rat Pack on the Sunday.

Gift Vouchers (£25) which can be exchanged for the evening of choice will be available from 1st December at Worthy Farm 01749 890470; Tourist Information Centres at Glastonbury, Wells, Street and Shepton Mallet; the Glastonbury Abbey Shop and Glastonbury Festival Office 01458 834596.
