OUR HISTORY

In 2007, a group of people, inspired by Glaston Group, came together to explore the formation of a centre that could offer support to visitors from all over the world, interested in the unique and diverse aspects of Glastonbury. 

Elisabeth Tham, Ingelise Jensen, Morgana West, Pauline Ross and Jane Sanders set up a formally constituted Association and Glastonbury Pilgrim Reception Centre first opened its doors to the public at 1a Church Lane in 2008, its ethos to pro-actively support people of good heart and intentions from all faiths, beliefs and backgrounds. 

In due course, the centre identified that not only was it supporting visitors but also resident pilgrims and those interested in the spiritual aspects of the place and responded by adapting its services accordingly. Over time, the faith and beliefs communities, plus the civic and secular communities began to recognise that this organisation was a valuable and much-needed link between the diverse, inspirational, knowledgeable, experienced individuals and organisations within the town.

In 2012, due to rapidly growing expansion, Glaston Centre Ltd (GCL), a Not-For-Profit, was set up to take over the existing Association and to support the expansion of the project into other fields. A new office was set up at 8a Market Place to handle the administrative and financial aspects of the company. This medieval office is part of the Glastonbury Experience complex of buildings, and offers space for our office work, meetings, gatherings, ceremonies and networking. 

​

 
In 2017, our Pilgrim Reception Centre Team joined forces with Glastonbury Town Council and the Tourist Information Centre in a pioneering move to supply all the services required by residents and visitors to Glastonbury in a combined Glastonbury Information Centre.
