Glastonbury dragons that celebrate seasons look for new den

"Like all dragons, they outgrow their spaces and our dragons have outgrown their space"

A set of prop dragons which are used in parades in Glastonbury need a new home.

The dragons props make their way outside twice a year for seasonal events such as the May Fayre.

The charity that looks after them needs a space with easy access, as dragons are "difficult to manoeuvre and don't fit through average size doorways".

"Like all dragons, they outgrow their spaces," Karin Shaw, organiser for the Glastonbury Dragons, said.

"As the popularity of the dragons has grown, the current space is no longer suitable," she added.

The dragon props are taken out on parades twice a year, to celebrate the turning of the seasons.

"As everyone knows, dragons are hoarders and they come with a lot of paraphernalia," Ms Shaw said.

"As a charity, we are also always tight on funds and insurance is part of the issue.

"You mention dragons to insurers, and they imagine all sorts of things. Hoards of gold and breathing fire.

"A warehouse for example could become a dragon's lair - as soon as you move dragons in, it will become a lair."

They have until the end of the month to find a new home.

The next Glastonbury Dragons event is the May Fayre on 5 May.
