Rimski's Yard
Glastonbury Festival
Rimski's Yard has its very own area in the Theatre & Circus fields
Find us in the top corner of Glebeland, opposite the big red Astrolabe tent; by pedestrian gate C.
Rimski & Handkerchief welcome you into their Homestead and business premises... A haven of absurdity where all manner of repairs will be undertaken. Feel free to wind down or wind up in this junkyard paradise.
Offering 360 degree spectral sensation...
With Fergie's Suitcase Sound System! ... Puppet Theatre DJ booth, Aerial performance, facilitated by Pirates of the Carabina... & colourful sideshows; including Tombola, Repair Centre & Photo Booth by The Ambro Brothers...
People of all ages, shapes, sizes, colours & inclinations are welcome to explore- with fantastical, dodgy & charming things to ride, play, push, browse & sit on. As always, there will be on going high quality entertainment... with variety shows, bands, DJ's and of course Rimski & Handkerchief performances with Bicycle Piano & Double Bassicle! Variety seating is provided (BYOB)!​
See below for this year's line up timings.......
