- Hi, Sabine. My name's Sam and I'm from Glastonbury in England.
- Glastonbury!
-Yes, did you hear about it?
-Yes.
-Ho it's very uncommon, most of foreigners know nothing about it. Did you hear about it for the fest?
- No in fact I visited Glastonbury two years ago.
- Ho why, tell me.
- It was near my way to Wales and I chose to visit it because I saw a tv show on YouTube about history of Great Britain.
-Ok, but what attract you? because it's a small town remote in the countryside.
- I think it was the Tor. It's so peculiar.
- Did you enjoy?
-Yes a lot! And the abbey's ruines to.
- If one day you want to return to Glastonbury call me.
- Thanks.
-You're welcome.

Where are you from?
- Hello, my name is Sabine and I'm from France. and you Where are you from? "and you" is correct but I think most native speakers would repeat the question instead.
- Hi, Sabine. My name's Sam and I'm from Glastonbury in England.
- Glastonbury!
-Yes, did you hear about it? Have you heard of it?
-Yes.
-Ho it's very uncommon, most of foreigners know nothing about it. Did you hear about it for the festival?
- No in fact actually, I visited Glastonbury two years ago. Again, "in fact" could work as well but "actually" sounds more natural.
- Ho Why, tell me.
- It was near on my way to Wales and I chose to visit it because I saw a tv show on YouTube about the history of Great Britain.
-Ok, but what attracted you? Because it's a small, remote town in the countryside?
- I think it was the Tor. It's so peculiar.
- Did you enjoy it?
-Yes a lot! And the abbey's ruins too. Many native speakers make this mistake too. "Too" means "as well" while "to" is a preposition. ie: I'm going to the movies. My friend is coming too.
- If one day you want to return to Glastonbury, call me.
- Thanks.
-You're welcome.
-Very well done! I could understand it all there are just a few adjustments to make it sound more natural!

Hi, thank you!
('And the ruins of the [ second St Michael's ] church too'. Here I was speaking about the ruines of the Abbey which are not on the top of the Tor but at its feet ( I Don't know if it's correct to say feet when speaking about a hill). Have you visited Glastonbury or the festival?

I'd like to add something: "fest" is not said a lot - the full word "festival" is much more frequently used in English. Moreover, if you want to sound informal when speaking about this festival, you can just say "Glasto". Best.
