FOR SUE RYDER MANORLANDS! 🎶❤️

We’ve finally got everything together, and we’re absolutely delighted to announce that the combined total raised through Glistenbury this year is an incredible £19,613.02 for Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice

And there really is only one thing left to say…

THANK YOU!

Thank you to every single person who came along and supported Glistenbury, you helped make this happen.

A huge thank you to all our amazing volunteers, who gave their time and worked incredibly hard before, during and after the event. We simply couldn’t do it without you. ❤️

Thank you to our artists, performers, production team, photographers, security and medical teams, and all those working behind the scenes.

Thank you to our sponsors, local businesses and organisations whose financial and practical support helps make an event of this scale possible, to everyone who donated prizes, and to our food vendors, bar teams and stallholders who were such a big part of the day.

Thank you to Cross Hills FC for once again allowing us to make their home ours for Glistenbury, and of course to everyone at Sue Ryder Manorlands and their wonderful local fundraising teams.

And a special thank you to our neighbours and everyone living around the football ground. Glistenbury certainly brings a busy day to the area, and we really appreciate the support and goodwill shown by those living close by. ❤️

And most importantly, thank you to our local community. You turn up, you support us, you give generously and you create the atmosphere that makes Glistenbury what it is.

And that brings the amount raised for Sue Ryder Manorlands since we began to an incredible...

THEN THERE’S THE TWO OF US…

After the rather lengthy personal thank you to Jason last year, I thought I'd try and keep this message a little shorter!

As many will imagine, behind those eight hours of Glistenbury are months of planning and conversations.

We each bring our own skills and experience, and passion for what we're doing, and both give a huge amount of our own time voluntarily to bring it all together.

I had my own personal reasons for why things began, and those will always stay with me. But when you, Jason Smith, joined the team, I knew pretty quickly that here was someone who shared many of the things that matter to me: a strong sense of community, a willingness to get stuck in, overcome any hurdle, and a belief in what can be achieved.

Ultimately, we are two local people who care deeply about where we live and the community around us.

It's been quite a journey again this year, with plenty of laughs and challenges along the way. And when it's all over, and we finally get to stand there with a pint in hand, well, there's a moment that, in truth, only the two of us can ever really share, knowing exactly what it took to get there.

I think we can both be immensely proud of what we've achieved.🍻❤️🎶

❤️ AND THEN THERE WERE THESE GUYS… ❤️

The music had finished, the crowds had gone home, the field had been cleared…

Time for a very well-earned drink! 🍻😂

A special mention and a massive thank you to Will, Matt, George, Laura and Alan, who were among those there for the long haul, helping us from the set-up right through the event and staying with us until the job was finally done.

Laura is actually behind the camera in this one, and Matt is also missing from the photo, but they most definitely belong in this moment and in this thank-you. ❤️

People see Glistenbury on the Saturday, but behind that one day are many, many hours of hard graft, building, moving, fixing, sorting, problem-solving and then taking the whole lot apart again afterwards!

So this photo, taken when the field was finally clear, and Glistenbury 2026 was pretty much all over for another year, seems a fitting way to say…

Will, Matt, George, Laura and Alan, a huge and very sincere THANK YOU. We couldn't do it without people like you. ❤️🍻🎶

🎶❤️ A HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OUR GLISTENBURY ARTISTS! ❤️🎶

Of course, there simply wouldn't be a music festival without the fantastic artists who take to our stage and provide the soundtrack to the day!

So in no particular order........A huge thank you to Sarah Widdup, Have You Seen This Cat?, Hazjak, Tahiti - Duo & Band, The Northern Skies and Night Patrol for joining us for Glistenbury 2026 and giving us such a fantastic day of live music. 🎤🎸🥁

From the first performances of the day right through to those brilliant final hours when hundreds of you were up dancing in front of the stage, every artist brought something different and played their part in creating the atmosphere that makes Glistenbury what it is. ❤️

We know that appearing at an event involves much more than simply walking onto a stage, so thank you to every musician, vocalist and member of the teams around them for working with us and helping everything come together.

To every artist who stepped onto the Glistenbury stage in 2026 THANK YOU. You absolutely did us proud! 🎶❤️🙌
