Glas-Denbury (5-6 July)

Glas-Denbury is all about the people and all about the South West. Featuring multiple stages of arts across a beautiful site in the midst of the rolling Devon hills, the festival is a colourful, happy, safe event suitable for all ages. The whole event is self-funded and uses 100% South West suppliers, our bars stock a fine selection of local real ales, ciders and lagers and the handpicked food stalls serve up a delicious array of amazing, local, quality foods including specialist foods – we truly champion our surroundings and the people of the South West in bucketfuls.
