🐎We all have a soft spot for horses, but listening to John Doe discuss what life on the road is like with them is unmissable, so come cradle your hangover at 13:15-14:00.

🐎He'll cover what it's really like to live side by side with horses, and there may even be a demonstration of saddling (maybe!). If you were lucky enough to catch John previously, you know what a treat this will be! Don't miss it!

🐴Earlier this week, horses rode onto the #glastonbury2025 site, bringing the dwellings that grace the Atchin Tan space, at the top of @theatre_circus! 🚰During the festival, the horses will be kept away from the general public, keeping cool and watered.
