The Glastonbury Festival Events Limited operates in the performing arts sector as the organizer of the Glastonbury Festival, based in Pilton, England. The festival showcases a wide range of cultural forms—from pop and dance music to jazz, folk, fringe theatre, mime, circus, cinema, poetry, and other visual arts—and designates a large 'green' area for environmental demonstrations, religious expression, and public debate. It runs marketplaces with an emphasis on high-quality prepared food and handmade goods, including clothing and jewellery, and it produces films and recordings of the event for distribution worldwide. The company pursues profit and uses its activities to support humanitarian causes, distributing funds to organizations such as Greenpeace, Oxfam, and WaterAid. A recent development involves a partnership with Bristol & Weston Hospitals Charity to fund creative education for children receiving treatment in hospital.
