What has been said about the 2026 event?
Speaking to the Post before the event kicked off last night, Matt Fawbert, director of The Ferret said: “ We are just getting ready for Glastonferret, the four-day festival that we hold every year and have done since 2007.
“There's bands all weekend- I think about 36 bands. We've got DJs outside, we've got stalls, food traders. So, it's a festival in the venue basically. We've put turf on the floor, so yeah, it's a real festival vibe.
“It's 20 years of The Ferret this year, but only 19 years since the first Glastonferret. So yeah, we're looking forward to a great weekend."
