The Assembly Rooms of Glastonbury

Our new cafe is looking fabulous. Several new proposals came in May and we now have Luke and Nix of Lords of the Wildwood managing the Community Cafe. They are making delicious home-made cakes. A new lunch menu, including jacket potatoes and pizza will be up as soon as possible. Deliveries are available for local business in walking distance of the High Street.

Come and support your community venue. Spaces are available for daytime courses and workshops, please email for more information, or if you are wanting a meeting or small gathering in the cafe during the day, pop in and discuss the options.

Here’s wishing Luke and Nix all the best on this new venture!
