Located between Glastonbury’s historic town centre and the iconic Tor, Somerset Rural Life Museum occupies the site of the former Abbey Farm.

At its heart stands the Grade I listed 14th-century Abbey Barn—one of the West Country’s finest medieval buildings.

The museum’s recently refurbished spaces offer versatility and character, making it a superb setting for special events, conferences, workshops and social occasions. Free on-site parking is available for all delegates and guests.
