filmguy Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) As a filmmaker for the Theatre & Circus Fields I'm duty bound to remind you what an amazing place this is to visit if you are lucky enough to have tickets. If you've never been then here's an example of what goes on there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCnQM_owE0o Edited April 28, 2019 by filmguy Right Link 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackHole2006 Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Ahh man, Theatre & Circus is my all time favourite area. I remember in Glastonbury 2015 on Friday I had all these plans but instead of going through with them I sacked em all off and spent 6hrs wondering about theatre & circus!! Now it’s a yearly ritual.

Avalon_Fields Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 The Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band accompanied by a circus performance in the big tent was fantastic, I’d certainly be back for something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 I love this area. being a circus monkey myself, just to watch some amazing act in a quieter area of the festival with some nice food is lovely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katiepougher Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Yes love it there, in 2017 my son and I spent an excellent couple of hours in the circus big top on Saturday night and missed all headliners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Plus it has the Brooklyn lager tent. Love the T&C fields. Always feel for that field in particular when it's a muddy year as they are impacted more than most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithy Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 And before I went vegan, it had the fish finger sandwich stall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Thought this was the line-up then. Always big for us as we normally watch a 'headliner' here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marathonsteve Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Plus the tent that sells the Belgium beer on draught. Drink and watch the Walkabouts perform. You may even be part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ravermum Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Theatre & Circus fields rock - the people, the acts, the stalls, food and drink, the walkabout performances - such a wonderful place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Tease Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Stumbled upon Blackskywhite one night at the astrolabe - one of the most disturbing things I've seen! But excellent, hope they're back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJL Posted April 28, 2019 Report Share Posted April 28, 2019 Never really spent much time here but tempted. Fun after dark? I think the more set to music, closer to the theatrical/performance side side of he SE corner and the Arcadia show would be most to my taste. Any recommendations? Does much happen there on Weds or Thursday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
