Glastonbury Arts Commissions
Glastonbury Theatre and Circus Fields are commissioning seven new shows for Glastonbury Festival 2024. Glastonbury Arts Commissions is seed money for performers who are ready to perform their own work.
We are looking for new experiences and shows for our audiences that are spectacular and brave, and that work well with the creative atmosphere and scale of the festival.
Subject to funding, shortlisting will take place in the first week of February 2024 and we will reply to all applicants as soon as possible with successful candidates being told no later than 21 February 2024.
We utilise the massive infrastructure of the festival to present these shows. We mentor the selected commissions in planning and creation before and during the festival. We also support you in bringing the show to other audiences after Glastonbury.
