Glastonbury Fayre is a 1972 documentary film directed by Peter Neal of the 1971 Glastonbury Festival which was held on 20 June-24 June 1971.

About the film

The film is the first attempt to document the Glastonbury Festival which in 1971 was into its second year. Glastonbury Fayre is notable for being photographed by Nicolas Roeg and being one of the first films produced by David Puttnam. The film is a mix of performances from the likes of Arthur Brown and Fairport Convention, as well as scenes of festival-goers enjoying the festival, though it does not feature any footage of David Bowie who played at dawn, and Bowie does feature on the soundtrack album.

The soundtrack album was also released in 1972 but has since become a rare collectors' item. The film received a VHS release during the 1990s but has since been deleted. A four minute clip of the film featured on the extras of the 2005 Glastonbury Anthems
DVD.
