Glastonbury Festival

The UK has some fantastic music festivals, but which one is the favourite of British fans? It’s definitely Glastonbury! It takes place at the end of June every year in Pilton, Somerset, England.

The first festival happened in 1970. It lasted two days and tickets cost just £1 each – plus every festivalgoer got free milk from the farm! Only 1,500 people came that year, but it was the start of something very special. These days, a ticket to stay the whole five days costs over £200. The price doesn’t put people off, however – around 200,000 people attend every year, and tickets sell out in about 30 minutes!

The great music is only part of the Glastonbury experience. Festival-goers camp in tents around the farm and stay up all night dancing. Of course, they have to be prepared for the British weather. It often rains, and there is a lot of mud, so a pair of wellies* is essential! But at Glastonbury, people don’t mind the bad weather. They love nature and care about the environment. In fact, Glastonbury has been a plasticfree festival since 2019, when the organisers decided to stop selling food and drinks in plastic containers.

It’s hard to say what makes Glastonbury a better music festival than all the others. Is it the bands, or perhaps the location? British singer Elly Jackson (La Roux) thinks it’s the atmosphere. “Festivals all have one,” she says, “but Glastonbury has something other festivals will never have.”
