CHARITIES
ACTIVITY charity Children’s World followed up its December Festive Special with a May Day event for all the family, featuring everything from circus skills to cabaret and crafts. The festival – funded once again by Glastonbury Town Council – was held at Paddington Farm with limited numbers able to attend to comply with social distancing. Amongst the acts performing – some for the first time this year due to lockdown – were Noisy Oyster with Dangerous Dave, Same Same but Different and the Blue Butterfly, Amy Amelia. The Green Man and Mother Nature – Vicky and Star – from Higher Beings welcomed families at the festival entrance at Middlewick Farm to guide them through the orchard to the fun. Children’s World was born out of the Glastonbury Festival and supports inclusion for all children through drama, performance, film-making and fun. Charity director, Kristen Lindop, said: “It’s great to get back out into the community. We ran a Festive Special, just before the winter lockdown, which proved very popular. Huge thanks to Glastonbury Town Council's Youth Committee who have funded this event.”
