Our Traveller Awareness Campaign area at Glastonbury Festival brings together the myriad of communities, with music, storytelling and talks with Romany, Irish Traveller, Traveller and Roma culture.
The Atchin Tan is named in honour of the now almost extinct traditional resting places and park-ups which Britain’s nomadic people have used for generations.
Come and find us at the Bow Top Wagon tower at the top of the Theatre and Circus field.
