Glastonbury Festival Information

Glastonbury generally occurs over the last full weekend of June, from the Wednesday to the Sunday.

The festival takes place on Worthy Farm, 6 miles/9.5 kilometres east of the town of Glastonbury.

The festival includes over 100 stages on 800 acres with 4.8 miles of fence and a crowd capacity of 210,000+. (It's big. Very, very big.)

Each year there are over 125 stages. Good luck visiting them all!

It very much varies depending on time of day, weather, inebriation, etc.

First you have to register, then pray to the ticket gods in early October when they go on sale. There's also a resale the following April.

Sunday-only tickets are made available to Pilton residents.

These are sold separately to the general and coach tickets for a select number of areas around the festival.

Your best bet is probably stewarding or traffic management.

All the information about trading at Glastonbury can be found here.

You can get there by car, coach, train, caravan, bike, or any combination of.

The cost of parking is £60 for regular parking and £55 for Worthy View and Sticklinch.

The release of the lineup varies year-to-year. Generally late March to early April for the first full announcement. Rumours and area/stage-specific announcements start much sooner.

A few people you may have heard of have played there. Check the Performers section for more details.

In recent years we've enjoyed great weather throughout the festival. Previous years weren't so lucky. See the Weather page for more comprehensive info.

You can find a list of suggestions and essentials here. Just don't forget your ticket, duct tape, and spare pegs and guy ropes.

All main campsites are within the festival boundary, while the campervan and various pre-erected and glamping options are found outside the main fence.

You can have fires anywhere apart from in the main arenas and the accessible camping area, Spring Ground.

Yes in the Kidzfield and Greenpeace Field, but you might be lining up for a while.

With over 500 stalls across the festival, there's no limit to the options! Find out more in the Vendors section or check out the 2024 Food List.

You can bring your own alcohol and it can be consumed anywhere in the festival. The limit is "as much as you can carry".

You can buy ice by the bag at the Co-op.

Children are permitted and if they are aged 12 or under they are admitted free of charge.

Animals are banned as a condition of the festival license. Only except registered guide dogs are allowed.

There are none. You're never too young or old for Glastonbury.

There are various cash points around the site. Be warned though, you'll be charged quite a high fee each time you use them.

There is a lost property tent at the top of Big Ground. You can also contact them by email after the festival: lostproperty@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk
