The highlights of this year’s Glastonbury Festival could be enjoyed on the big screen at the Pioneer Club’s open day.

The event featured food and drink, stalls and entertainment, a selection of DJs throughout the day as well as an acoustic stage featuring local talent.

Free sessions included taster sessions in the skatepark and dance classes with their dance partner SASA.

Music and commercial director Jon Prayer said afterwards: “Thank you so much to everyone who came to our Glastonbury Open Day on Sunday. It was great to see the whole venue open and full of people! From kids trying skateboarding for the first time to a full house to watch Rod Stewart’s slot at Glasto we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

“I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and volunteers who played such an incredible part of the day ensuring that everything ran smoothly. This year we went bigger and better than last year and that was only possible because of them!

“We are a venue with the community at its heart so events like this are a key part of that we do, that’s also why we will always try to keep ticket prices affordable and have free activities once people are on site.

“Oh and rest assured we’re not having a fallow year in 2026!”
