Please use our travel calculator, compiled by sustainable travel experts Onboard.Earth, to see the impact different modes of transport – and occupancy – have on carbon emissions.

These calculations are estimates designed for purely illustrative purposes to show average carbon emissions per passenger across an array of transport options. Hopefully they will highlight the potential impact our choice of travel has on our environment and allow us to make decisions which help lower them.

DO NOT DROP OFF ON LOCAL ROADS OR NEAR VEHICLE GATES – IT IS DANGEROUS FOR PEDESTRIANS AND VEHICLES.

For those being dropped-off at the Festival we have set up a 24 hour Drop and Collect service with a 24/7 bus service that runs to and from the Festival (GATE A) continuously.

Dropping off on local roads will leave you with a long dangerous walk to get to the car parks and then a longer walk to get to the gates. Not only that, but working out where to be picked up is even harder, leaving you waiting on a dangerous road side whilst your lift tries to negotiate all the road closures put in place to assist the exiting traffic.

Be sensible: get dropped-off at the Drop and Collect point, catch the bus to Pedestrian Gate A where you will get quicker access to the site. There's less walking involved, it is safer and much quicker.

The Drop and Collect will be open for the public from 9:00am on the Tuesday preceding the Festival onwards and remains open until 8.00pm on the Monday after the Festival.

The Drop and Collect is located to the east of the site. Head towards Evercreech on the A371 and follow the signs for Drop and Collect or DC. Plan a route that keeps you away from the immediate area of the Festival as the A361 is closed for through traffic on the Monday after the Festival between Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet.

A few more miles moving is better than sitting in a queue!

Those that have used the Drop and Collect in the past have found the service to be excellent. There are serviced brick-built toilets as well as a burger van for those who need a bite to eat.

Please do not arrive with large wheel barrows, wheelie bins or trollies as these will not be transported to the site.

On Sunday and Monday, a bus service will run from the Festival Bus Station, next to Pedestrian Gate A, to Bristol Temple Meads railway station.

NB: Please note that all the buses returning to the station (Castle Cary and Bristol Temple Meads) on Sunday and Monday are timetabled to arrive at the station before the last train. Don’t travel to the station outside these times as you will have to wait in the car park without any facilities. It is better to wait in the Bus park where there is shelter and food and drink and get the first bus in the morning.

For more information about bus services and timetables for services running to and from Glastonbury Festival, please read our Getting Here By Bus page.

Unfortunately it will not be possible to park at Castle Cary station during the Festival and there are no left luggage facilities at the station.

Although extra rail services will be running to Castle Cary station, queuing for trains is still likely. However, when leaving the Festival, trains on Sunday afternoon and in the early hours of Monday morning tend to be less crowded.

Make sure you allow plenty of time to...

• Pick up your kit from the property lock up near gate A (if you're leaving any there during the day)
• Get onto the bus and load luggage (please be aware that trolleys will not be permitted on this service.)
• Travel to the station

For those leaving on a Monday make sure you do not arrive too early if you have Saver Tickets or you will be asked to pay the additional fares or may have to travel back to the Festival to wait for the appropriate train.

ETICKETS – If you're buying an electronic train ticket which you plan to present via your mobile device, please ensure that your device has sufficient charge for you to be able to show the ticket at Castle Cary station on your departure from the Festival. There are no charging facilities at the station. We would recommend bringing a print out of your eticket as a backup.

There are also regular trains from Bristol Temple Meads to Castle Cary, sometimes you may have to change at Westbury, and the journey takes around 70 minutes.

Top tip: print a spare copy of your return train ticket, and book it into the free property lockup near gate A when you arrive. If you lose your phone or ticket, or your phone battery is dead, you can then collect your ticket from the property lockup and get home!

Cycling to Glastonbury is the most sustainable way of traveling to the Festival. As part of our on-going efforts to encourage greener travel, those arriving by bike will have access to free, secure bike lock-ups as well as a designated cyclists-only campsite, which includes showers. There is no need to book to use these facilities, just turn up with your bike, but please note, only those who have actually arrived by bike will have access to the designated cyclists' campsite.

There are two secure bike parks on site: the west bike park near Bronze gate and east bike park close to Blue gate. The cyclist-only campsite is located near Pedestrian gate A. For more information of what to expect on site, please visit Bike To Glasto.

Bike To Glasto also run a number of luggage transportation solutions available for a small fee. For those living in Somerset, there are luggage drop-off locations throughout the county, as well as one in west London. Alternatively, you can arrange a courier to deliver your bags to Bike To Glasto, who will arrange for them to be transported to the Festival site for you. Both of these include return journey options as well, leaving you to cycle to and from the Festival unencumbered.

For more details and up-to-date news, please visit Bike To Glasto and join the Bike To Glasto group on Facebook.

Sustrans – a charity dedicated to helping people find traffic-free routes and custodians of the National Cycle Network – have compiled a thorough guide to suitable cycling routes direct to the Glastonbury Festival site. Click here to find out more.

If driving to the Festival, please join us in our pledge to reduce carbon emissions by sharing lifts. Car sharing is not only better for the environment, but will also help share the cost of fuel. 

As with your Festival tickets, car park passes are non-transferable, and attempts to re-sell them may result in their cancellation. Refunds are available prior to the ticket refund deadline.

Directions

• From south London: M3 then A303 and A37. (Sat Nav TA11 7DP).
• From Swindon: M4 then A350 onto the A361. (Sat Nav BA4 4LY).
• From the North East: A1 or M1, M25 to M3 (Junction 12), then A303 and A37. (Sat Nav TA11 7DP)
• From the Midlands: Preferably M40 and A34 to A303 and A37. (Sat Nav TA11 7DP)
• From the North West: M6, M5 to A39 (Junction 23) then A361. (Sat Nav BA6 9XE)
• From Wales: M4, M5 to A39 (as above) (Sat Nav BA6 9XE)
• For more local traffic using the A37 North or A361 East (Sat Nav BA4 4LY)

PLEASE NOTE – your satnav will not get you all the way to the Festival site but to the start of the Festival signage. Please follow the Festival signs as soon as you see those.

It is important that you approach the site on the side that you want to park. Using local roads to get to the opposite side of the site causes delays so use main roads that are well away from the site. A few extra miles travelled further away can save hours in queues near to the site. Always follow the directional signs, variable message signs and park where directed by staff.

Also please note that those who parked on the east side of the site last year had the shortest queues at the pedestrian gates and the shortest queues getting out on Monday.

Arriving/parking

The next Glastonbury Festival will take place on Worthy Farm from Wednesday 23rd June to Sunday 27th June, 2027. There will be no Glastonbury in 2026 as the Festival is taking a fallow year. Details of the 2025 offering can be found below.

____

GLASTONBURY 2025: Car parks open at 9pm on the Tuesday before Glastonbury 2025, allowing Festival-goers to arrive throughout the night, when traffic volumes are low. There is, however, be no entertainment or facilities (other than toilets) in the car parks and Festival-goers are expected to remain in their cars until the Festival gates open at 8am on Wednesday morning. Most people choose to eat locally or en-route and then arrive in the early hours.

There are four main entrances for cars, depending upon where you are coming from. Follow the P signs to get to the nearest available parking spaces. Sometimes parking staff have to fill some of the car parks further from the site before some that are closer. This is done to keep traffic moving on the public highways and keep us at peak parking capabilities for as long as possible. Parking at any time is dependent upon the traffic on the highway so you cannot plan to park in a particular parking field other than parking on the East or West side.

If you have a choice, use the Blue Route (approach from the A303, then the A37), where there is more parking space and less of a queue to get in and out of the site.

Anyone heading for the family campsite by the Acoustic field should take the Purple Route into the Festival (this is signed off the A37, follow the purple patches on the road signs).

The worst time to arrive by car is between 7am and 2pm on Wednesday. In recent years at peak times, the A39 queue to get into car parks took several hours, while it took less than an hour for those travelling on the A37.

Where you park

Most people want to park as near as possible to the pedestrian entrances (because they feel they have a lot to carry, or are old, or young, or pregnant, or ill, or just tired). Unfortunately it can't work like that. The choice you make is which side of the site to approach from, and after that it depends which field the stewards are filling at that time. It's really down to luck, whereabouts in the car park you end up.

Check where you are parked before you leave the car park

Use the cards provided by the AA to note the route colour and car park number. Trying to find a car amongst the thousands parked can be a nightmare. Look for the flag with the car park number and remember the position in the field. Some of the car parks are over half a km from site so be prepared to carry your kit a fair distance both in the car parks and on site.

Leaving and returning to the car park during the Festival

It is possible to leave the car park and return during the Festival. The cars are parked in rows with decent turning space in between the rows and the car pass works each time you enter. Most likely you will be parked in a different place on your return, though.

Top tip: book your car keys into one of the free property lockups once you go through the pedestrian gate and enter the Festival site – you really don’t want to lose your car keys at the Festival! You can reclaim your keys anytime if you need to return to your car.

Leaving the Festival

The worst times to leave by car are on Monday between 8am and 5pm when there can be long delays of up to 9 hours to leave the car parks. Beat the queues by leaving between 1am and 7am on Monday morning – if you can get up! The Festival is doing everything possible to reduce queuing but there is only so much capacity on the roads. If you need to be anywhere on Monday leave early – and have plenty of water and food as you will queue.

When leaving the Festival please be aware that journey times on the A39 back to the M5 can be a couple of hours and on the A37 to Bristol can be up to 4 hours. Over the past few years the best route for exit has been south on the A37 to the A303 and then east to the A34 for the Midlands and North or onto the M3 for London. Also consider using the A361 towards Frome and then the A350 towards Swindon to get to the M4 from there, pick up routes to the Midlands North and East.

The Festival traffic plan will direct vehicles from each parking area in different directions to reduce the volume on each route.

The Festival licence runs until 5.00pm on Monday and we are expected to have cleared the car parks by that time, if possible. From 5.00pm traders and contractors start leaving the site and all the roads are clogged. We would not have security on the car parks after 5.00pm – so please plan your exit before then.

Make sure you are OK to drive. Drug driving is not a safe trip. When did you last have a drink? You see more police around the site than you do for the rest of the year. Do not risk it! Wait until you are OK – you know it makes sense.

Electric Car Charging

Worthy Farm is a rural location with limited capacity to offer electrical vehicle charging on site – but this shouldn’t put you off from arriving in an EV!

Just as drivers of petrol or diesel cars need to have sufficient fuel for their entire journey, if you’re travelling to the Festival in an electric or hybrid vehicle, you must have sufficient battery charge for your journey.

• Charge before you arrive! As a rule of thumb, if you have less than 50 miles of charge on approach to the site, you’ll need to juice up. Keep in mind that you need to have sufficient charge for your return journey, and local charge points will be busy!
• Plan your vehicle charging stops. Use an electric car charging app like Electroverse from Octopus, who are once again partnering with the Festival & providing a wind turbine on site. Featuring over 650,000 chargepoints on the network, EV drivers can find, navigate and start a charging session with Electroverse – no matter where they are. The Electroverse route-mapping feature can help plot your journey to the Festival and ensure you arrive with good charge. Enter your start/end location and desired battery percentage, and the route mapper will plan a journey with dedicated charging stops. You can also follow the route directly from your electric vehicle, using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.
• Please note the village of Pilton will be stewarded to ensure resident safety which will mean any charging points shown in the village will be unavailable to the general public.
• An emergency recovery charging facility will be available at Bronze car park only, off the A361. This limited, first come, first served service run by the AA (to members and non-members), is charged at a fixed cost of £50 for up to an hour’s charge / 80% battery (whichever is sooner). Payment is by card only. Please note this service is for emergency use only and cannot be guaranteed, so please do charge before you arrive.

Breakdown

If you arrive on site and your car needs attention, get it sorted ASAP so it will be ready when you need to leave. On Monday all recovery services are very busy. A locksmith is situated by Bronze Gate if you lose your keys or lock them in your car.

For AA Service at Glastonbury, ring their dedicated Festival hotline on 0330 053 0338.  Special rates apply for non-members who wish to join and receive immediate service.  Also, AA staff will be in East 9, off Purple Route, and at Bronze Gate in West 32 throughout the week, and the AA’s dedicated Key Assist vehicles will be on site from Saturday.

People with disabilities

Unless you are pre-registered for the accessible car park, people with a Blue Badge should display the badge clearly next to their official festival parking ticket when entering the public car parks and Stewards will direct you to the forward parking (this may still be some distance from the gates). All festival goers needing parking will need an official parking ticket.

If you have further enquiries regarding disabled access and transport please refer to the Festival’s Access information.

Cars and climate change

CO2 is the main cause of climate change and arguably the single biggest pollution threat that humankind faces today. Road transport accounts for around 25% of Britain’s emissions. The least polluting cars emit around 100g of C02 per km, while the most polluting emit around 520g. The main ways to cut emissions are to drive less, reduce fuel use by choosing more fuel-efficient vehicles and by car-sharing wherever possible.

Traffic news

Check out the Festival website and Twitter account for the latest travel news. Once within range (about 10 miles) tune into Worthy FM on 87.7 FM – it’s good for traffic news both when you arrive and when you leave – and listen in to the morning show each day to find out what is happening on site.

Improvements

The Festival team have worked hard over the years to improve access and egress, aided by the addition of numerous roads and tracks, and changes to layouts to reduce congestion. We are still parking on farmland and will be subject to weather conditions, but going forward we have a more robust operation than we have ever had to cope with what mother nature throws at us.

For full information on campervans/caravans at Glastonbury, please click here.

Motorcycles (including quad bikes) are not allowed on site. They must be parked in the free, secure compound near the Festival Bus Station. To find this, follow signs for Yellow Route and staff will then direct you. Motorcycles do not require a car parking pass.

Once at the motorbike compound, security staff will fill in a slip with your bike details on, colour, number plate, make, model etc, and you park it up. This slip enables you to re-enter the compound to get the bike out. You can leave your helmet – and your road clothes – in the free property lockups available once inside the Festival site if you don’t want to leave your helmet chained to your bike.

If arriving on two wheels, make sure you don't load up with more than you can carry. Get the weight distributed so it does not affect the bike's centre of balance. Give everything a good tug once loaded; it's better that it comes off now than whilst on the road.

The closest international airport to Glastonbury Festival is Bristol International Airport. This airport serves a number of European destinations.

National Express runs coach services from Heathrow Airport directly to the Festival. Return tickets must be pre-booked and are available online here.

There is also a regular bus link from Bristol airport called, "A1 - Bristol Airport Flyer", which will take you from the airport to Bristol Temple Meads railway station. Regular buses go from the bus stop on the main road outside the station (374/375/376) to Glastonbury Town where a bus (GF1) can be caught to the Festival Bus Station on our site.

Glastonbury Festival does not endorse or facilitate travel by helicopter, except for operational purposes.

Car-sharing is a great way to travel to Glastonbury Festival. It allows those with cars to offer lifts to and from the Festival in return for a share of the fuel cost, reducing the number of cars on our roads and helping drivers lighten the financial cost of travel. There are a number of car sharing organisations which pair drivers with passengers (these operators are not affiliated with Glastonbury and operate independently of the Festival).

Tipis have long established themselves as part of the annual landscape at Glastonbury Festival. There are a limited number of Tipis available to hire for Festival-goers, in the Tipi Village near the Stone Circle and adjacent to the Park area of the Festival, offering spectacular views across the whole site from the hills.

The Tipi Village offers pre-erected 18ft Tipis on the Southern slopes of the Festival site – leaving you with nothing to carry home but your bags. Each Tipi can house up to 6 adults. A Tipi for Glastonbury Festival 2025 will cost £1795 to hire (Festival tickets not included).

Following the November accommodation sale, pre-erected accommodation options are currently sold out. Any cancellations will be made available in a resale in the Spring, please keep an eye on the Festival website for any information. 

In order to make an accommodation booking, you must already have a valid ticket booking for Glastonbury 2025.

All prices are for five nights – Wednesday June 25th to Sunday June 29th, inclusive. Prices do not include Festival tickets. Everyone who wishes to stay in the Tipi Village must have a valid Festival ticket.

Tipi dwelling is an incredible and elemental experience, but not a luxury one, so whilst the Tipis include a waterproof groundsheet, inner lining and rain catcher, you will need to bring your own bedding, mats, and any other necessary creature comforts.

The Tipi Village has its own facilities including compost toilets and showers, plus there will be hot food and drinks available to purchase, a communal fire, and space around the Tipis to sit, and for children to play.

BOOKING REFUND PROTECTION 

Accommodation bookings are refundable up until May 9th 2025. Optional TicketPlan Booking Refund Protection for accommodation bookings is available when making your booking.

Booking Refund Protection provides cover for a range of unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you being able to stay in the accommodation you have booked. A summary of the Terms and Conditions can be found on the booking site. Please note that this Booking Refund Protection offers cover for your accommodation only in the event that the lead booker is unable to attend. Refund Protection is subject to an additional charge of £50.00 per Tipi booking. Click here to download a PDF of the TicketPlan Booking Refund Protection Summary.   

BOOKING ENQUIRIES 

All bookings are taken by See Tickets. The Festival does not have access to See Tickets’ booking system or individual booking information, so if you have an enquiry specific to your booking, then please contact See Tickets via their Customer Service Page.

Once you have booked your accommodation, you can also access information regarding your ticket booking, including details of ticket dispatch, online at glastonbury.seetickets.com using your booking reference number and email address or postcode.

Tipi bookings are subject to the pre-erected accommodation terms and conditions.

Your ticket price includes access to the camping fields. You can choose to pitch your tent anywhere within the designated camping zones that sit throughout the Festival, from fields right next to the Pyramid Stage to more tranquil areas on the outskirts of the Festival.

WHERE TO PITCH YOUR TENT

Different areas have different atmospheres. For example, Pennard Hill Ground, between The Park and The Healing Fields, is a popular, lively spot. It has a culture of its own with people returning year on year. Alternatively, camping zones on the periphery of the Festival, such as Limekilns and Hitchin Hill Ground, tend to be quieter. Some camping fields are very busy and fill up quickly but there is usually more camping space to the west of the site near the Park. Camping areas are marked out on the site map

Although the capacity of Glastonbury Festival remained the same as previous years' a substantial new area of extra camping space was brought in for 2011s Festival. The extra space is close to the west car parks, just over the concrete road and a very short walk to the main site and entertainment areas.

There  are two Family Camping areas at Glastonbury Festival: at Wicket Ground, on the north-west side of the site, and at Cockmill Meadow, on the eastern side of the site, above the Kidzfield. You can find them on the map

CAMPING TIPS

- BBQs can cause carbon monoxide poisoning when left in your tent. Never put them in an enclosed space, even after they appear to have gone out. For more info click here.

- Campsite stewards have a base in every camping field. Check out where the nearest one is to you. They can direct and advise you, and are first port of call in an emergency - be it a medical or security issue.

- It is worth noting where you camp in relation to a numbered Fire Point or other fixed point, or clearly marking your pitch with a flag. It can be a nightmare to find your tent without a recognisable landmark.

- Please do not take up too much space when setting up camp. And please, please do not bring a gazebo. They needlessly take up valuable camping space (and there are plenty of more interesting places to sit at the Festival than just outside your tent).

- Say hello to your neighbours to build a community feeling and provide greater security. Look after each other and if someone is feeling ill, get help.

- Remember that tents are very vulnerable, even zipped up. Padlocks scream "I have something worth nicking in here".

- If you're worried about something being stolen, don't leave it in your tent. Essential valuables can be left at the free 24-hour Property Lock-ups which are prominent around the site. They also provide free loo rolls and soap. They are marked on Festival maps with the keyhole logo.

- Postcode your valuables. UV pens are available at Property Lock-ups.

- Bear in mind that the most commonly lost items in the camping fields are keys, wallets, phones and cameras. Please keep them safe!

- Be inventive about hiding your money - and don't keep it all in one place.

- Love the farm - please do not leave any kit behind when you leave the farm.

FAMILY CAMPING

Family Camping areas are provided in two locations on site: at Wicket Ground and Cockmill Meadow. Both campsites are fenced to provide a contained and safe area for our younger Festival-goers.

Stewards at these locations will meet and greet as many families as possible on arrival, but they will also be checking that the sites are prioritised for families with children.

Please be  aware that when camping in these fields:

• You may be asked to keep the noise down in the evenings
• You will almost certainly be amongst early risers, who will be living their best Festival lives at 6am

Please note these family-designated campsites are not for groups of adults camping without children.

We would ask those camping in these areas to be considerate when setting up their tents, bearing in mind that this family-designated area is limited and to only take up the space required by their tents. This way we can make sure that all those with children who want to use the campsite, are able to camp there.

These campsites will be monitored and patrolled by campsite crew. This way we can ensure large groups do not take over areas of the campsites. You may be asked to relocate if this is the case.

Facilities such as paper  ‘emergency contact’ wristbands will be available at these campsites as well as at the Kidzfield and Green Kids areas, and Info Points across the Festival site.

Anyone heading for the Cockmill Meadow family campsite, by the Acoustic field, should take the Purple Route into the Festival.

ACCESSIBLE CAMPING

The accessible campsite is located in Spring Ground, on the west side of the site. Only Festival goers who have completed the Festivals Access Application form by the 30^th April can stay in this field. Please contact the Festivals Access Team for more information – accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk 

Anyone planning to bring a campervan or caravan in 2025 will need to book their own campervan/caravan tickets and will need to present both their named campervan/caravan ticket and Festival ticket to be able to park in these fields. Campervan/caravan tickets will feature the name and address of the ticket booker. A maximum of one campervan/caravan ticket can be booked per transaction. If your campervan is larger than 8m in length, please book a large campervan pitch, which are only available at the Bath & West Showground. Caravans/campervans larger than 8m will be turned away from the East Campervan areas and will be sent to the Bath and West subject to space still being available and will be charged the extra fee.

Following the November accommodation sale, East Campervan/Caravan passes are currently sold out. There will be a resale of any cancelled accommodation options in the Spring, please keep an eye on the Festival website for any information. 

Wicket Ground on the west of the site is a dedicated campervan field for Festival goers with disabilities. Tickets for this field can only be purchased via the Festivals Access Team and by completing the Access Application form. Only caravans/ campervans under 8m can stay in Wicket Ground. Please contact the Festivals Access Team for more information – accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk

You will have the option of booking from a number of different campervan/caravan ticket types:

East Quiet Campervans/ Hired, Delivered Vehicle Pitches (Blue route):
Pitch up to 8m x 7m, for one vehicle up to 8m in length – £200

Please note that demand for campervan tickets is usually very high, so we would recommend booking one as soon as they are released.

Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate campervans in your preferred site, the Festival reserves the right to provide alternative facilities in the event of adverse conditions.

As with your Festival tickets, campervan tickets are non-transferable and will include the name and address of the booker. Attempts to re-sell them may result in their cancellation. If you book a campervan ticket and later change your mind, refunds are available prior to the ticket refund deadline (9th May 2025); subject to an administration charge of £25.

Campervan tickets are only available to general admission ticket holders. It is not possible to purchase a car park or campervan ticket in conjunction with a ticket + coach travel booking.

Campervan tickets will be sent out with your Festival tickets (unless booked in a resale or after paying your ticket balance).

Caravans, trailer tents and campervans will only be admitted to designated campervan fields either along specified routes off the A37 or at the Bath & West Showground (A371) according to the type of ticket purchased.

East Campervan field access is via a one way system that is reversed for the Exit on Sunday 29th June at approximately 14:00. From this time on Sunday to around 21:00 on Monday 30th June, the exiting traffic means that no access to the East campervans can be allowed. Please do not leave East Campervans and expect to get back to the fields or arrange for pick- ups on Sunday 29th June or Monday 30th June unless you are happy to park in the car parks and wait to gain vehicle access after 21:00 on Monday evening.

Please note that for hire caravans can only be delivered to the East Campervan fields by prior agreement with the Festival before the Festival opens. If a hire vehicle is over 8m it will be refused access. Hire vehicles over 8m can only be delivered to the Bath and West from when the access is open (there is no pre delivery). Make sure that you have the appropriate ticket for the vehicle that you are bringing or you will be refused access.

Campervan/Caravan T&Cs

Can I park my campervan/ caravan in the main car parks?
No. Sleeping in vehicles in the car parks is strictly forbidden, as it is contrary to our licence. Regular checks will be made by Security patrols. Separate fields for ticket holders to park campervans and caravans are available.

Do I need a special ticket for the campervan/caravan fields?
Yes. Campervan/caravan tickets to park in these fields are available for an additional fee of £200 for a single pitch (all Campervan sites) or £300 for a large pitch (at Bath and West only). Please note that there are 4 options of campervan ticket available – General or Quiet/Hire (Single) pitches on Blue Route on the East of the site; and General (Single and Large pitches) at the Bath and West Showground (White Route). See the table above for details. Please ensure you follow the correct route according to the colour of your ticket.

Does every person staying in our campervan/caravan need a Festival ticket?
Yes. No one will be allowed into the Campervan/Caravan fields without a weekend Festival ticket.

How do our friends gain access to the campervan fields if they travel separately?
If your friends are arriving separately to your campervan or caravan they will not be able to gain vehicular access to the campervan fields (as only one car is permitted on the pitch). They will need to buy a car park ticket to park in the public car parks, or travel by public transport, and make their way to the campervan fields on foot via the pedestrian gates. For the Bath and West Showground follow White Route, or catch a free shuttle bus from the Festival Bus Station.

What counts as 'suitable fitted facilities' in a camper/caravan?
Your campervan/caravan MUST have purpose-built fitted sleeping facilities and either fitted cooking or washing facilities. Any converted vehicles must clearly be live-in vehicles. This does not mean simply a van with a piece of foam cut to size for a bed, and a bucket for washing!

A team of campsite staff and security staff will check that campervans and caravans coming into these fields have bona fide living accommodation. No other vehicles will be let onto these fields under any circumstances – not even late replacement vehicles in the case of a breakdown – sorry.

What will happen to my vehicle if it is considered unsuitable for the campervan fields?
Unsuitable vehicles, including unconverted vans, with tickets for the camper van fields, will not be allowed entry and will be sent to one of the festival car parks – and, as it is contrary to our licence, security patrols will not permit sleeping in any vehicles in these car parks.

What facilities are provided in the campervan/caravan fields?
Facilities consist of water, waste-water containers, toilets, and a food trader open 24 hours a day. The fields are surrounded by fencing and patrolled by security staff.

Is electricity available?
There is no electricity provided for field users.

Does the Festival provide campers or caravans for hire on site?
The Festival does not rent caravans to ticket holders, or have any arrangements with contractors to rent caravans.

Can I hire a campervan/caravan myself and bring it to the Festival?
Yes, provided you have purchased a weekend Festival ticket and a campervan ticket.

Can the Festival supply details of campervan/caravan hire companies we can use?
The Festival holds no such details, and is unable to provide any information regarding hire. Please make your own enquiries. If hiring campervans or caravans it is your responsibility to check out the company and make sure that they are a legitimate company providing safe vehicles to the relevant standards for the hire industry. Glastonbury are not responsible for any hire company failing to fulfil their contractual obligations.

How do we gain access to the campervan/caravan fields on arrival?
For the East (Blue) for both Quiet and General Campervans approach the Festival using the A37 from the North or South and the A361 from the east and follow the Blue Campervan signs.

For the White Campervan Site which is situated on the A371 approach from the A37 and turn onto the A371 by following the white campervan signs. 

A campervan/caravan ticket with your specific routing colour will be sent to you with your Festival tickets, which will permit access to the Pylle Road via the Blue Route or the White Route from the A371 and allow you to park in the appropriate campervan/caravan fields. 

You will need to display the coloured routing element in your window on approaching the site. You will then be issued with your pass on site once your campervan/caravan has been checked and approved by the campervan/caravan field stewards. 

When can we gain vehicular access to the camper/caravan fields?
First entry is from 12:00 hours Tuesday 24th June until 14:00 hours Sunday 29th June. There will be NO access to the campervan fields prior to noon, Tuesday 24th June. Please be considerate of local residents and businesses. In order to keep the roads clear, there will be no queueing facility prior to gates opening. Any vehicles arriving before noon will be turned away. Please be aware that the Police will have officers patrolling and you may get a ticket for obstruction of the highway if you block any of the main roads locally to the site, be considerate and stay away from the area until the gates are about to open.

To enable traffic to exit the site, Blue Route becomes one-way outbound from 14:00 hours Sunday afternoon until 21:00 hours on Monday evening to enable all the campervans/caravans and site traffic to exit.

As a result, no vehicles can access the campervan/caravan fields during this time. Please do not leave the campervan/caravan fields in your vehicle and expect to get back to the fields during these times, or arrange for others to pick up during this period, as access will be refused.

Return entry (for collections) from the East Campervan Fields is from 21:00 hours Monday 30th June 2025.

How are pitches allocated?
Pitches are allocated on a first come first served basis.

Can our group of friends have pitches next to each other as a group.
Sorry, we can’t hold pitches so if you want to park next to each other you will need to arrive together (and have booked in the same campervan section).

How far is it from the campervan site to the Festival?
We’d estimate it is approximately a 10 minute walk from the East campervan fields to the outer areas of the Festival, and 20 minutes to the main stages, at an average pace (longer when the site is busy). However timing will depend on where in the fields you are placed as some fields are much further out than others. The site map will give you a general idea of the distances involved and your nearest access points. 

A free shuttle bus is available 24 hours from the Bath and West Showground to the Festival Bus Station. 

I have difficulty walking a long distance - can I be placed nearer the field entrance?
Due to the location and distance to the campervan fields we recommend that anyone with a mobility issue should contact the Accessibility Team to discuss what options and facilities are available to them. Please note the access facilities are for Festival goers with permanent disabilities, so broken legs, recent injuries or those who are pregnant do not qualify.

How do I arrange for my hired campervan/caravan to get on and off site?
We have developed a system with the contractors delivering the campervans/caravans so they can use the hire document/delivery note to bring the vehicle on to the Festival site. The contractor will need to arrange access to the fields by contacting the Off-Site Manager via campervans@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk. The ticket holder then uses the campervan/caravan permit to get into the site when they arrive later. 

After the Festival, it is not possible to gain access to the site to pick up a caravan between 14:00 hours on Sunday afternoon and 21:00 hours on Monday evening. Campervan fields’ staff leave on Monday when the there are no queues for the exit. After this time caravans can be left until Tuesday midday for a contractor to pick up. All caravans whether delivered prior to the campervan area opening, during the time the fields are open and left for collection are left at the hirer/providers risk. The Festival accepts no responsibility for any caravan within the campervan fields which remains with the owner or hirer at all times. 

Can my car be kept beside the caravan in the campervan/caravan field?
Yes, there is space for one car (the towing vehicle) to be parked beside or in front of the caravan. However, any other member of your party arriving separately by car will need to purchase a car parking ticket for public car park use. Any additional vehicles to the towing vehicle would need to be parked in one of the public car parks. 

If I am travelling in a separate vehicle to the caravan/campervan can I park in the campervan fields?
There is space for one towing vehicle to be parked beside or in front of the caravan. However, any other member of your party arriving separately by car will need to purchase a car parking ticket for the public car parks. Any additional vehicles to the towing vehicle would need to be parked in one of the public car parks.

Can I pitch a tent beside my caravan/campervan?
Only where the tent will fit within the allocated pitch size and not be adjacent to a vehicle. We are required to keep sleeping accommodation away from vehicles and keep clear spaces between vehicles and tents as part of the fire safety requirements from the fire officer.

Can I bring my trailer tent?
Yes, as long as it is a purpose-built, manufacturer-made trailer tent.

Can I bring my roof tent?
Yes, as long as it is a purpose-built, manufacturer-made roof tent, and you bring cooking and washing facilities with it.

Can I bring a winnebago or extra large caravan?
Yes. However, for all vehicles longer than 8 metres it will be necessary to purchase a large caravan/campervan ticket (£300), to cover the extra space required. Please note large pitches are only available at the Bath and West Showground, from which there is a free shuttle to the Festival bus station near PGA.

Will I be able to put up an awning? Can I sleep under the awning?
Yes, manufacturers’ awnings are acceptable if they fit within the pitch size of 8m x 7m and can be slept in if they are a manufacturers’ annex or inner tent, but please make a parking or campsite steward aware if you are sleeping in the awning. There must be space of at least 3m between your awning and your neighbour’s camper van or vehicle so please consider this when planning your Festival set up. Use of an awning may mean that there is no space for a car!

How will I know where to place my campervan/caravan/towing car/awning/tent in the field?
Stewards will be on hand in the campervan fields to advise on siting vehicles. It is not possible to reserve a specific area – space is allocated on a first come first served basis. Caravans, their towing cars and campervans will be parked in rows, as designated by the fire officers, with a 4 metre fire road between the rows. Each pitch will be 7 metres wide by 8 metres long. For vehicles longer than 8 metres it will be necessary to purchase a large caravan/campervan ticket (£300 only available at the Bath and West), to cover the extra space required.

Can I bring a generator?
No. Absolutely no generators are to be brought on site.

Can I bring glass bottles with me in my campervan/caravan?
Glass is not permitted anywhere on Festival land. The usual Festival confiscations policy applies to campervans and caravans.  The security staff will also check for any other items not permitted on site, as specified in the terms and conditions on weekend tickets. Security staff will confiscate any such items and may refuse entry to the site. Domestic items that will stay within the campervan are unlikely to be confiscated, however we would advise not to bring anything valuable just in case. The decision of the security team will be final.

Please ensure your caravan and campervan field ticket is displayed in the centre of your windscreen at least 10 miles away from the site.

As part of our continued commitment to reducing waste at the Festival, we are pleased to confirm the return of the  Sticklinch campsite on the former site of the West Campervan Fields which was introduced for the 2020 Festival.

Like our existing campsite at Worthy View, Sticklinch offers unpretentious, custom-made and pre-erected Festival accommodation a short walk from the Festival site for those who would like to have a tent ready and waiting for them on arrival at the Festival, and nothing to carry home but their bags.

The Sticklinch pre-erected campsite will again be home to a range of Podpads, Yurts and Bell Tents, as well as a limited number of the Festival’s signature scout-style tents, and offers a more gently undulating walk to the Festival site, ideal for those who find the climb to Worthy View challenging.

A very limited amount of parking is available a short walk from the accommodation, with a reserved area for Blue Badge holders, however we would encourage guests at Sticklinch to travel by public transport wherever possible, and make their way to Sticklinch on foot through the Festival site.

Bookings for Sticklinch Campsite will be taken exclusively by the Festival’s nominated booking agency, See Tickets.

Following the November accommodation sale, pre-erected accommodation options are currently sold out. Any cancellations will be made available in a resale in the Spring, please keep an eye on the Festival website for any information. 

In order to have made an accommodation booking for the Sticklinch campsite, you must already have a valid ticket booking for Glastonbury 2025.

All prices are for five nights – Wednesday June 25th to Sunday June 29th, inclusive. Prices do not include Festival tickets. Everyone who wishes to stay at Sticklinch must have a valid Festival ticket.

Please note some structure types have very limited availability and are expected to sell out very quickly.

To make a booking you will be required to enter the registration number you used when booking your Festival ticket. Please note you will need to present this ticket on arrival when checking in at your accommodation.

You may book up to 2 units of accommodation per booking. A limited number of car parking passes for Sticklinch will also be available to book when making an accommodation booking.

Having booked accommodation via See Tickets, you will receive a confirmation email to confirm your reservation within 24 hours, and will receive a follow-up message from the Festival in late May/early June 2025 with further details of your accommodation and access information.

Should you be unable to attend the Festival, or should you wish to cancel your accommodation booking for the Sticklinch campsite you may do so up until May 9th, after which time your reservation will be non-refundable. All refunds prior to May 9th will incur a £25 administration fee per unit.

If you are authorised to bring a guide/ assistance dog to Glastonbury Festival, you would be required to camp in the accessible campsite or accessible campervan field.

New for 2025!

We are excited to offer ticket holders with visual impairments, the opportunity to try a ‘wearable assistive technology headset,’ at the Pyramid Stage.

The headsets work similarly to a virtual reality headset, they use a high-quality camera to capture the user’s surrounding environment and display an enhanced image inside the headset. Users can customise the image to suit their sight profile, making it easier to see faces and experience the theatrics of the artists performing on the Pyramid Stage.

Festival-goers who want to use the headsets must complete the Festival’s Access Application Form before the deadline at the end of April. This application form can be requested from the Festival’s Access Team –accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk

More information about these headsets and the technology behind them can be found by clicking on this sentence.

Both electric and manual wheelchairs will be available to hire in advance of the Festival. More information on how to book one of these will be available in the Access Application Pack.

Wheelchair charging will be available at different locations across the Festival site.

The Festival wants to be a safe and happy place for everyone to enjoy. However, the size of the site and the large crowds mixed in with all the different sounds, lights, smells and experiences can be overwhelming especially for customers with mental health, emotional and sensory issues.

There will be Sensory Calm Tents located in different locations within the Festival. The aim of these spaces will be to provide a safe, low-level stimulation and recalibration zone for our neurodivergent Festival-goers. This will be created by using adjustable lighting, textures, and sounds. There will also be weighted blankets and ear defenders that people can use whilst in the spaces.

The spaces will be managed by a mixture of Autism specialists and neurodiverse volunteers who are passionate about the importance of calm spaces in busy, vibrant, and loud festival environments.

There will also be Welfare Centres providing experienced, caring and confidential help for all kinds of practical and personal problems. The Festival Branch of Samaritans are also onsite offering 24-hour emotional support from the Green Fields.

You do not need to make an access application to use the Sensory Calm Spaces. They are available for everyone to use.

Assistance Dogs

Glastonbury Festival is an outdoor event taking place on 1500 acres of farmland in Somerset. The main festival site is within a grassy valley, which does mean there are hills, and the terrain is uneven in places. There are a mixture of stone and gravel paths throughout the site, as well as some temporary trackways used to create temporary roads.

It is important to remember that the weather can have a massive impact on the ground conditions. During inclement weather some parts of the site may become muddy or water-logged. In hot weather some parts of the site may also become dusty.

The majority of the Festival site is in the open air, so it is important that Festival-goers come prepared for all weather conditions.

When thinking about what to pack, please bear these things in mind:

• Only bring what you really need. However you arrive, you'll inevitably have to carry your stuff a fair distance to where you camp. And as part of our Love Worthy Farm, Leave No Trace campaign we'd definitely encourage you to only bring things which you can take home – that includes everything, even your tent.
• Please use luggage tags. Please label all of your bags and belongings stating your name and mobile number, so that we can identify them as yours.
• Please be patient. For security reasons, ticket holders will be subject to searches of their vehicles, their bags and their person at this year’s Festival. Please cooperate with any security requests and all searches.
• The less you bring, the quicker you’ll get through the gates. As a general rule, we would ask you to only bring as much as you can carry yourself. We do appreciate that you’re going to be staying on the farm for several days, but travelling light really will make things quicker. There will be separate search lanes for those with large luggage and trolleys, and we anticipate that these lanes will be significantly slower.
• Please do not wrap your bags. Avoid using the thick plastic wrap you sometimes see at airports. Your bags will need to be accessible for searches and you’ll be bringing unnecessary waste onto the Festival site.
• Don't skimp on the essentials. Please bring a sturdy tent (and take it back home with you). Although you’ll be able buy pretty much anything you need here on site, there are now fewer camping equipment stores than there have been in the past. So please bring a sturdy tent that will last a lifetime of festival camping.
• REUSE, REDUCE, RESPECT. In a stand to make our world more sustainable, we ask you to avoid single-use items and opt for reusable options wherever possible and help us look after the land on which the Festival stands.

What to bring

• Festival ticket
• Travel tickets if coming by coach / train
• Personal ID:
  Original ID documents (not photocopies) are needed for: Hospitality tickets, Challenge 21, Lead Booker for coach packages, Sunday tickets
  – Photocopy of ID is okay if a child is under 12 but looks older
• Money/cards
• Mobile phone + battery pack. You can also hire a Vodafone battery pack - simply collect on site at the Vodafone Connect & Charge and exchange daily for a freshly charged one.
• Ear plugs – to keep your ears from ringing!
• A reusable water bottle, to fill up from the free taps on site
• Tent (lines/poles/groundsheet/pegs)
• Sleeping mat/sleeping bag/duvet/pillow
• Wellies or sturdy boots
• Waterproof coat and over trousers
• Change of weather appropriate clothing (in case you get wet!) including cosy sweater – it can be hot in the day and chilly at night
• Toiletries including towel/soap
• Medication if required (click here for the Festival's prescribed medication policy)
• Next of kin notification
• Medical info (allergies etc)
• Toilet roll
• Sun cream + hat
• Contraceptives
• Spectacles/contacts and solution
• Torch/batteries/bulbs (spares)
• Bin bags (for dirty clothing and footwear)
• Mark valuables with house name and postcode so it can be posted back to you

What not to bring

• Do not bring more than you need. Remember you'll need to take all it home again. Most things can be bought on site if necessary.
• Do not bring disposable vapes. They pollute the environment and can be hazardous at waste centres.
• Don’t bring gazebos. They take up valuable tent space in the campsites. We'd also rather you didn't put tape around your tent enclosures, please. It makes it harder for other people to get to their tents.
• Only food and alcohol for personal consumption can be brought onsite.
• Do not bring any knives.
• Do not bring anything made of glass. All glass will be confiscated if found, including perfume and mirrors.
• Do not bring excess packaging. If you purchase something new for the Festival, please remove all the excess packing at home, before you arrive.
• Do not bring body glitter. Even biodegradable body glitter will not properly breakdown without being heat-treated.
• Please avoid the use of disposable wipes. Wipes – even biodegradable wipes, which quickly breakdown into micro-plastics – are problematic environmental pollutants. Plant fibre-based biodegradable wipes release greenhouse gases when they decompose, so we would like people to really try to use alternatives. A washcloth and a bar of soap works wonders!
• You may be searched at the entrance for any items that may be used in an illegal or offensive manner – which will be confiscated. Persons suspected of carrying out illegal and/or offensive activities onsite may also be searched and face eviction. NB: Confiscated items will NOT be returned.

Please DO NOT bring any of these prohibited items:

• No portable laser equipment or pens are permitted.
• No knives.
• No animals (except registered guide dogs).
• No sound systems or drums.
• No generators.
• No sky lanterns, kites, fireworks, flares or any type or wax candles.
• No nitrous oxide (laughing gas). As a contraband good, under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 this substance is banned at Glastonbury. It is very dangerous to inhale nitrous oxide directly from the canister and if you take too much nitrous oxide you risk falling unconscious and/or suffocating from the lack of oxygen.

Please note:

• Persons using fireworks will be evicted from site and materials confiscated.
• No unauthorised tape recorders, professional film or video equipment are allowed onsite. Cameras for personal use are welcome.
• Flying or filming with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs, or so-called drones) is not allowed on site before, during or after the Festival – and is prohibited by law. We have a working site and the safety of our audience, crew and staff is paramount.

Car parks will open at 9pm on the Tuesday before gates open for the Festival, allowing Festival-goers to arrive throughout the night, when traffic volumes are low.

There will, however, be no entertainment or facilities in the car parks and Festival-goers will be expected to remain in their cars until the Festival gates open at 8am on Wednesday morning. Most people choose to eat locally or en route and then arrive in the early hours.

Sorry, but no camping will be allowed in the car parks. Please note, all public transport arrangements will stay as per previous years – ie there will be no facilities at Castle Cary railway station for early arrivals. Public transport facilities will only begin on Wednesday morning.

As in previous years, there will be no amplified entertainment on the Wednesday, with the main music stages not kicking off until Friday.

Please have your parking ticket clearly on display once you are within ten miles of the festival to make sure you are directed to the correct car parks. You will also need to have your Festival ticket to hand.

Do not give your Festival ticket to anyone until you go through the turnstiles. Once past security you will be given back your ticket which you will need for re-entry, along with the festival wristband you’ll be given at the entrance, if you leave the site or go to the car parks.

If you exit the site during the weekend, you will be given a Pass Out Voucher – hang onto this! It is very important as you need it in order to get back in. Do not give it to anyone else! Security staff may ask to see your ticket during the event too – so keep it secure! In past years, some ticket buyers had their tickets stolen some distance from the Festival when they stopped at service stations. Your ticket is precious – do not flash it around.

From 8am on Wednesday pedestrian gates operate 24 hours a day until the end of the Festival. If you have any problems with your ticket, or getting on site, there are enquiry cabins at each pedestrian gate (with the exception of Pedestrian Gate B), and an enquiry cabin is also sited in the caravan/campervan field.

Leave Pets at Home

Please don't bring your pets to Glastonbury. No animals are allowed onto the Festival site; it wouldn't be much fun for them anyway. People and vehicles entering the site are searched, and any animals found are impounded and housed off-site at the owners' expense. The ban on animals is a condition of the Festival Licence; it arose due to the health risks observed in early Festivals, when large packs of dogs gathered.

There's no shortage of things to do for children at Glastonbury. The Kidzfield and Green Kids areas are children's festivals within the Festival, featuring loads of activities and top names from the world of children's entertainment. While in the Theatre & Circus fields, quirky walkabouts and thrilling shows throughout the day will inspire and enthral all ages.

Getting into the Festival with kids

Children aged 12 and under, and child ticket holders, must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder. If you are bringing a child aged 12 or under with you who looks older than 12 you MUST bring ID to verify their age.

Everyone who is aged 13 or over on the Wednesday the the Festival opens (when the Festival starts) planning to come to the Festival, must have registered and bought a full ticket. Children aged 12 and under do not require tickets and do not need to register.

Anyone under the age of 16 wishing to attend the Festival MUST be accompanied by someone over the age of 18. Those who are ages 16 or 17 are allowed to attend the Festival unaccompanied, but we would strongly advise that this decision is made with the consent of a parent or legal guardian.

Anyone attending the Festival on an adult ticket, who appears to be under 16 years of age, is advised to bring ID to verify their age.

Important advice when bringing children to Glastonbury

• The same notions of responsible childcare reign here as they would in any city centre. Please do lot leave your children unattended at any time and always remain sober and clear-headed when responsible for children.
• There are no creche facilities at Glastonbury Festival. Please make arrangements within your group of friends for someone to be supervising your children at all times, even in the Kidzfield.
• Please be aware that buggies and kinder wagons are difficult to see and awkward to manoeuvre in busy areas. Please allow crowds to disperse before attempting to move your children and do not take young children into densely crowded areas.
• Some busy adult-orientated late-night areas, particularly our venues in the South East Corner, are simply not appropriate for younger audiences at certain times. We strongly advise families with younger children under the age of 13 to leave these areas before 10pm. And even for teenagers under the age of 18, these are areas which may not be suitable late at night.

Family camping

There are two Family Camping Fields: the Cockmill Meadow near the Kidzfield and one on the north-west of the site at Wicket Ground. Families do not need a special ticket to camp in the Family fields, but it is not possible to reserve space in advance (and they can fill up quickly). Click here for more information on camping at Glastonbury.

Anyone heading for the family campsite by the Acoustic field should take the Purple Route into the Festival.

Lost children

Big crowds can be daunting for children. To avoid separating from them, give your kids the same advice you would if you were anywhere else: don't go off without telling you first. The Festival is generally a very safe and friendly environment, but if your child happens to get lost, please contact a steward, any Information point or Festival official so that we can help reunite you with your wandering offspring. Found kids are looked after at the Kidzfield until 7pm. They are then taken to Worthy Welfare.

It's really helpful if children have their parent's mobile number on them – the Kidzfield, Green Kids or Info Points provide markable children's wristbands for you to write your contact number on, or simply write it on your child’s clothing or arm – so that when your wandering child is found we can contact you. From a practical perspective, it can help to dress your children in bright colours or even a child's hi-vis vest, as it will help them stand out in busy areas.

Click here for more tips on bringing children to Glastonbury Festival.

There are medical facilities all around the site including a principal facility at Big Ground Medical supported by smaller medical units at Park Home and Cabaret and as well as a First Aid centre at Worthy View. There are two dispensing/retail pharmacies: Big Ground Medical Centre and opposite William's Green on the walk through towards West Holt.

Medical and First Aid
Festival Medical Services have been looking after Festival-goers for years. Most problems can be dealt with on site and very few people have to go off to hospital for treatment. FMS provides a comprehensive medical and first aid service at the Festival which includes:

Big Ground Medical Centre:
- Emergency Department
- X-ray facility
- Doctor & Nurse Consultations
- Physiotherapy
- Podiatry
- Emergency Dental Services
- Psychiatric and Substance Misuse Service
- Dispensing Pharmacy

Park Home Medical Centre:
- Minor Injuries Unit

Cabaret Walk-In Centres:
- Doctor & Nurse Consultations
- treatment of minor illnesses and injuries

Stages
There are specialist medical teams in front of the two main stages during performances.

Paramedic Rapid Response and First Responder foot patrols

Site Ambulances
Pharmacies provide advice and guidance as well as the usual retail pharmacy consumables.

FMS works closely with South Western Ambulance Service, whose primary responsibility is to deal with incidents outside the Festival site but also provides ambulances on site to respond to calls received through the 999 system

NHS 111
For health advice in non-emergency situations, simply dial 111.

How to get help in an emergency:
If you need medical or first aid attention, make your way, if you can, to one of the medical facilities. In an emergency, approach a Festival steward, Festival Information, a Markets Office, a security person or a police officer, any of whom will be able to summon assistance.

Only dial 999 from a mobile phone as a last resort – this may not be the most effective means of getting help on the Festival site.

Don't try to make your way off site to hospital – this may result in very long and possibly dangerous delays in getting treatment.

Pregnancy
There are no midwifery services at the festival and you should think very carefully before attending the event in the late stages of pregnancy. FMS policy is to transfer women in labour promptly to an off-site obstetric hospital, rather than deliver on site.

Infectious diseases
Infectious diseases could spread rapidly amongst festival-goers. You would be advised to stay away if you are suffering from an infection.

Please don’t come to Glastonbury if you have suffered from gastroenteritis with diarrhoea or vomiting during the previous 48 hours. Viral gastroenteritis is very infectious and spreads easily in crowds. Risks can be reduced by careful hand washing after going to the toilet and before handling food.

Measles is one of the most infectious diseases and there are outbreaks in England and Wales. Please don’t come to Glastonbury if you have developed a rash with a fever in the 4 days before arrival.

Be prepared: two doses of MMR vaccine provide a high level of protection. MMR is recommended for anyone over the age of 13 months although if you were born before 1970 you are very likely to have had measles as a child and to be immune.

For further information see www.nhs.uk Health A-Z

Staying safe and well
You can reduce the risk of injury and ill health by following this simple advice:

Alcohol
Drink in moderation. Hangover headaches usually respond if you drink plenty of water. For more detailed information on alcohol at festivals, please read FMS's alcohol information page.

Burns
Camping gas accidents are the most common cause of serious burns. Never change these canisters in or near a tent and make sure the canister is threaded properly before lighting. Beware of wax flares and candles. Only buy from sellers authorised by the Festival. Every year some irresponsible people sell unapproved flares and candles which cause nasty, sight-threatening eye injuries — so if you are uncertain they are legit, don't buy!

Crowds
Can be dangerous places for small children. Body surfing may look like fun, but would you like to be dropped and trampled? Don't put yourself at unnecessary risk.

Drugs
Stay safe, don't take drugs. FMS does not prescribe or dispense Controlled Drugs and makes no exceptions. For more detailed information on drugs at festivals, please read FMS's drugs information page.

Hearing damage
If you spend too long in front of the loudspeakers you could damage your hearing. Colourful earplugs, to protect your ears, are available from the Royal National Institute for the Deaf stall next to the Pyramid Stage.

Medicines and medication
Bring some over-the-counter remedies for headache, tooth ache, minor cuts, burns or bruises and sunburn. Ask your local pharmacist for advice. If you suffer from hay fever, remember to bring enough nasal spray, eye drops or antihistamine tablets to last through the Festival. Remember to bring any regular medications you might need. FMS can look after your medication if it needs to be kept in the fridge. If you do forget anything tell FMS. They can usually obtain further supplies.

Click here to read our prescribed medicines policy.

Practice Safe Sex
If you have sex without a condom you risk catching diseases such as gonorrhoea, syphilis or chlamydia or risk pregnancy. Emergency Contraception and sexual health advice and screening are available from the on-site Festival Medical Services.

Stomach bugs
Reduce your risk of picking up or spreading the germs that cause sickness and diarrhoea by washing your hands before you eat and after you go to the loo. If cooking take care. Make sure food is cooked properly, especially meat / hamburgers. Wash your hands if you have been handling rubbish.

Upset or depressed
If you are having emotional problems and want to talk to someone, the Samaritans  have tents on the Festival site – identifiable by their large green banners. There are also two main welfare facilities on site; Worthy Welfare next to the farmhouse and Green Welfare in the Greenfields – they offer experienced, caring, and confidential help for all kinds of practical and personal problems as well as dealing with lost and found property. Click here to read about Glastonbury Festivals' Welfare centres.

FMS has a psychiatric team based at the Medical Centre to help with more serious mental health problems.

Water
Drink plenty of it! In hot weather or when you are very active you can dehydrate quickly. Safe drinking water is available for free from more than 850 taps, including at 30 bottle-filling stations, seven tap boards and10 WaterAid water bars (including at the Pyramid Stage, West Holts, Other Stage and The Park).

All water at Glastonbury Festival comes from Bristol Water and is of the same quality as your tap water at home.

Sun care
Free suncream, provided by Green People, is available from dispenser units across the site, including Info Points, Green Welfare and Campsite Steward hubs.

Click map to expand

Weather
Be prepared for almost any weather. Bring sun protection, warm clothes and wet weather gear – and a spare pair of shoes!

Please note: Although FMS have a fleet of stretcher and walking wounded ambulances operating on site, please don’t call an ambulance unless you really need one. This is to make sure that these specialist resources are always available to those in genuine need. If you are in any doubt call Festival Medical Services and ask advice.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL EVENTS LTD (GFEL) POLICY REGARDING THE CARRIAGE OF PRESCRIBED MEDICINES AND CONFISCATION AT THE FESTIVAL

Glastonbury Festival Events Ltd is committed to maintaining the safety and wellbeing of all persons on site, and is very aware that a proportion of the festival audience have a requirement to bring prescribed medicines onto site. Therefore it is the general policy of Glastonbury Festivals to permit prescription medicines to be brought onto site through pedestrian gates.

To ensure that illicit or potentially dangerous substances are not brought onto site under the guise of legitimate medical need, the following measures are to be enforced.

1. Advance information to customers and crew. If someone needs to bring prescription medicines onto site, they should consider this in advance and follow the steps set out below to assist security personnel to determine the medication is legitimately held.

2. Customers should:

a. Ensure the medicine is in its original container, with the dispensary sticker and issued in the name of the ticket-holder i.e. DON’T peel the label off or carry someone else’s medication
b. Bring the official prescription counterfoil or a letter of explanation from a registered medical practitioner
c. Ensure the quantity carried is the minimal required for duration on site
d. NOT bring non-essential tablets such as vitamin supplements
e. Be prepared to be challenged at the Gate or in the festival but do not seek to conceal medication
f. Contact the Festival in advance if the medication is vital to health and wellbeing to ensure that you remain safe and well
g. Be aware that a pharmacy and prescription service is available onsite

3. Safe Storage. In some instances, safe storage of medication can be arranged through the onsite medical service (including temperature controlled storage). NO storage should be provided at the Gate. Customers should contact help@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk in advance if this service is required.

4. Confiscation. Glastonbury Festival reserves the right to refuse access to patrons carrying substances which cannot be confirmed as being bona fide prescribed medication. In such instances gate staff may require that medicines be surrendered at the gate or returned to a vehicle or similar. Glastonbury Festival will NOT offer a Receipt-and-Collect service.

5. Appeal. At each entry Gate there will be a designated security supervisor who will handle any complaints or appeals regarding the provenance or safety of medications carried by members of the public. This supervisor shall have access to qualified medical and pharmacist advice via Event Control.

6. Pharmacy. A 24-hour GP service, including prescription and pharmacies are available onsite during the festival period. However, unusual medication or that with a short shelf-life is unlikely to be available.

1. Travel by public transport if you can. There are shuttle buses from Castle Cary station and the trains are full of happy Festival-goers who can help you find your way once you reach the site too.

2. Travel light – only bring what you will actually use. However you get to the Festival, it's a long walk from the bus depot or car parks to your camp site. Bring kit that you can easily carry yourself.

3. Check your tent before you leave home. Make sure you have a tent that is fit for purpose and made to last. Check that you have all the poles, guy ropes etc and you know how to pitch it. There is nothing worse than arriving in the rain/dark and finding you're missing a flysheet. Find a way to personalise/locate your tent so you can find it in the sea of Eurohike domes and Quechua pop-ups.

4. Make friends with your campsite neighbours. Not only to keep an eye on each other's stuff but to buddy up during the Festival too.

5. Get your daily Glastonbury Free Press newspaper. The free daily paper, printed on an old printing press on-site in the Theatre & Circus field, is loaded with great tips on things to see and do. The interesting stuff is rarely on the main stages.

6. Seek some solace in the Greenfields. The Festival is massive and heaving with people. Head to your tent or a quiet space in the far reaches of the Greenfields to escape the madding crowds once in a while.

7. Look after yourself and others. Clean your hands often – there are either taps or hand sanitiser available by the loo blocks – and try to get enough sleep/food/drink/sun protection etc.

8. Do not wee in the bushes or waterways. The Green Police will get you! Bring a portable urinal for night time (web search portable urinal) there are male and female versions available cheaply and you'll be glad of it when you can't face trudging to the less than fragrant bogs at 4am. Empty it down the Festival loos.

9. Treat yourself to an afternoon shower in the Greenpeace field.  After a dose of hot water, eco shower gel and tranquillity, you'll feel – and perhaps even smell! – much better. Afternoons are much quieter than the early morning monster queue.

10. Leave no trace. Take home all of your possessions and camping equipment, bin all of your rubbish and help leave your camp site cow-ready and spotless.

Glastonbury Festival has a variety of toilet types and all are cleaned at least once a day.

Please don’t pee anywhere except in the loos. Urine can kill fish and wildlife in the streams and pollute our beautiful farm.

All Festival loo points have either hand washing or hand sanitiser facilities – make sure you use them.  You are more likely to catch a bug from not washing your hands than from any other source.

These are the types of toilet you will find at Glastonbury Festival:

• LONG DROPS A Glastonbury Festival tradition! Lockable and open air, once again we have built even more this year and now have over 2,000 long drop seats across the site!

• COMPOST LOOS Glastonbury Festival now has over 1,300 compost toilets across the site (with more than 1,100 supplied by Natural Event).  Only toilet paper should be put down a compost loo and sawdust should be sprinkled after a ‘number 2’. The sawdust is located  outside the loos and you scoop a cup of it before you go to the loo.

• PORTABLE TOILETS There are less plastic portable loos than ever on site but if you do come across one make sure you flush it before and after each use as they become blocked quickly.

• ACCESSIBLE TOILETS There are wheelchair accessible toilets on viewing platforms at all the main stages and throughout the site. These are locked to avoid them being misused. If you are registered disabled and require access to these toilets please contact accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk prior to the start of the Festival to apply for this access.

• URINALS – MEN'S & WOMEN'S There are over 700 metres of male urinals dotted across the site. There are also some lovingly decorated women’s urinals, cared for by WaterAid volunteers who are also on hand to assist newcomers! There are seven of these women’surinal sites for 2025, located near the Pyramid stage, Other stage, Arcadia, Stone Circle and in Bushy Ground and Paines campsites.

• WASHING FACILITIES FOR REUSABLE SANITARY PRODUCTS Four of the women’s urinals sites will have two compost toilets set-up with washing facilities inside so that reusable sanitary products can be cleaned and used. These will be located at Bushy Ground and Paines campsites, Stone Circle and Pyramid stage near Hawkwell campsite.

Approximately 92% of the toilets at Glastonbury – be that long drops or compost loos – have individual, lockable cubicles and are open to all genders. These are supplemented by both men’s and women’s urinals in high traffic areas. Likewise, showers (where available) will offer a combination of women’s, men’s and all-gender options.

Please Leave Facilities In The Condition You Wish To Find Them. Respect Each Other And The Farm.

LEAVE NO TRACE

Due to the enormous demands on our water supply, Glastonbury is not able to offer large numbers of public showers. For those desperate for a shower, there are a small number of showers available at the bottom of the Kidzfield and in the Greenpeace field, but you should expect to queue for a while to use them. Otherwise, we'd just recommend packing a wash cloth and a bar of soap for a good ol' fashioned stripwash and making do – it's the true Glastonbury way!

In 2025, Glastonbury are once again teaming-up with WaterAid and Beauty Banks to make sure everyone can manage their period with dignity.

Free Period Products

Tampons and sanitary pads, made by Natracare, are available for free from all of our women's urinals and information points onsite.

Glastonbury is working with UK social enterprise Beauty Banks to make disposable period products available free for attendees at all information points and women’s urinals. Operating on a take-one-give-one scheme, for every product Glastonbury funds at the Festival, Beauty Banks is providing one to someone in need through their community partnerships (including food banks, schools or other programmes). After the Festival all left over period products are given to Beauty Banks to distribute to people who desperately need them. 

Period Proud Women’s Urinals

This year WaterAid is again working with Glastonbury to deliver four period-proud women's urinals – private spaces equipped with sinks, warm water and soap to hygienically clean reusable products and help people manage their period with dignity. These spaces are located at the following women’s urinals:

• Bushy Ground Campsite
• Paines Ground Campsite
• Hawkwell Campsite (near Pyramid Stage)
• Stone Circle

All water across Glastonbury Festival is from our mains water supply from Bristol Water, and is the same quality as your tap water at home. We are encouraging all Festival-goers to use a reusable water bottle and refill for free at more than 850 water points, including at 30 bottle-filling stations, seven tap boards and ten WaterAid water bars (including at the Pyramid Stage, West Holts, Other Stage and The Park).

We regularly sample and test our water to ensure a safe, clean supply.

All water taps and WaterAid bars are marked on the Festival map.

Please do not waste water.

Anything can be safely stored at any of the 14 Property Lock-ups around the Festival site. The locations are marked on Festival maps, and at the entrances to the Lockups, by a black ‘keyhole’ logo. You can leave your belongings in safety – bicycles, trolleys, rucksacks, motorcycle leathers and helmets, car keys, medical supplies, passports, credit cards, wallets, train / coach tickets, whatever! – for however long you choose.

Property Lock-ups are open 24 hours a day and are free of charge to use. As well as looking after your belongings, the Lock-ups also distribute toilet rolls free of charge.

The Lock-ups open at 8am on the Wednesday and close at 12 noon on the Monday – so if you leave anything in the Lock-ups make sure that you pick up your belongings before then.(Anything left behind after this time will have to be claimed from Worthy Welfare and may not be available until after 4pm.)

The Lock-ups are run by volunteers from Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament groups, Birmingham Friends of the Earth and Brighton Peace and Environment Centre. Use the Lock-ups and support these groups campaigning for a more sustainable, peaceful society. Click here for our Facebook page.

Challenge 21 wristbands

The property Lock-ups will also be issuing 'Challenge 21' wristbands. The Festival operates a 'Challenge 21’ policy for alcohol sales. If you look under 21, you will not be served alcohol unless you can prove you are over 18 – by presenting ID, or by wearing a ‘Challenge 21' wristband. These will be available from the property lock-ups, on presentation of a valid form of photo ID. The following are acceptable forms of ID:

• UK Driving Licence
• Valid Passport
• If you don't want to bring your passport or driving licence, use a PASS ID. See http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/ for details.

Over twenty of our main bars will be accepting payment by debit and credit card, on more than 100 card readers. Many food traders will also be accepting cards but not all traders will be able to accept cards, so please expect to use cash over the weekend.

Cash Machine (ATMs) are spread across three locations around the site and all are open 24 hours a day and accept all UK and International cards. Get cash with a friend for company and security and don’t forget, remind yourself of your PIN number and bring your debit or credit card with you.

The Welfare Centres provide experienced, caring and confidential help for all kinds of practical and personal problems, as well as dealing with lost & found property. There are four main welfare services: Worthy Welfare, Green Welfare, and The Samaritans.

Worthy Welfare
This is the main centre for practical welfare support, which is open 24 hours a day throughout the Festival. If your problem is practical rather than medical, try here first. A good place to go if you lose all your kit, for example - not least because they also handle Lost Property during the Festival. They also look after found children after 7pm (found kids are looked after in the Kidzfield until that time).

Green Welfare
Situated just beyond the railway line at the entrance to the Green Fields, Green Welfare is a good place to head for if you’re feeling under the weather or just need somewhere quiet to sit and chat to someone. The iTHINK harm reduction team are also on hand for help and advice.

Worthy Rest
The Glastonbury Festival Worthy Rest tents, situated in Silver Hayes and The Park, are places where anyone can go if they need some time away from it all. Hosted by anti-harassment charity Safer Spaces and iTHINK harm reduction team, these organisations are on hand to provide specialised support, advice and counselling. 

The Samaritans
The Festival Branch of Samaritans have been going to Glastonbury since 1974 offering 24 hour emotional support. They have a team of volunteers who work shifts throughout the day and night dealing confidentially with upset, depressed or suicidal people. The Samaritans' tent (with prominent green and white "SAMARITANS" banners and huge flags) will be situated in the Main Markets area, near Whitelake Bridge, between the Pyramid and Other Stages.

See the Festival Branch website at www.festivalsamaritans.org. The admin address for Festival Samaritans is: info@festivalsamaritans.org. Samaritans national free phone number is 116 123. Or if you'd rather "talk" via email the address is: jo@samaritans.org.uk.

Don't forget to drink plenty of water. Long waking hours, dancing and summer sun can increase your need. Free mains-supplied drinking water is available from the many Festival taps scattered around the site, WaterAid waterbars. Please re-fill your re-usable water bottles regularly. Cans of water are also available to buy from stalls around the site. If you're using your hands to drink, wash them first. For information about the Glastonbury Festival water, please read the water supply section above in the Advice and Facilities area of the website.

If you're bringing your own alcohol to the Festival, remember that amounts considered beyond reasonable personal use will be confiscated at the gate. All glass bottles will also be confiscated – you must decant all contents into alternative bottles before you come to site. Beer tents on site are run by the Workers Beer Company and Avalon bars. The prices are equivalent to London pub prices.

Please take care: drugs/alcohol cocktails can be lethal. Know your limits, and those of your friends. Drunk people can be very irksome! You'll all have a much better Festival if you avoid over-doing it. If you are concerned that one of your friends requires assistance, ask a steward or security personnel to point you towards The Medical Centre or Welfare Tent.

Click here to read what Festival Medical Services advise regarding alcohol.

Don't drive under the influence of drink or drugs when leaving the Festival. For more advice and information from road safety charity Brake, click here.

The NHS recommend that if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant you should not drink alcohol. This will keep any risk to your baby to a minimum.

Challenge 21 wristbands

The Festival operates a 'Challenge 21’ policy for alcohol sales. If you look under 21, you will not be served alcohol unless you can prove you are over 18 – by presenting ID, or by wearing a ‘Challenge 21' wristband. These will be available from the Property Lock-ups on site, on presentation of a valid form of photo ID. The following are acceptable forms of ID:

• UK Driving Licence
• Valid Passport
• If you don't want to bring your passport or driving licence, use a PASS ID. See http://www.pass-scheme.org.uk/ for details.

The dealing in or use of illegal drugs is not condoned by Glastonbury Festival. Drug enforcement laws are as applicable on the Festival site as anywhere else in the country. Police officers will be on-site and will deal with drug offences in accordance with national guidelines. If you deal in drugs, it is likely that you will be arrested. Neither anti-social nor illegal behaviour will be tolerated and participants will leave themselves liable for eviction from the site.

The terms and conditions of entry printed on the back of every ticket state: “You may be searched at the entrance. Any items which the organisers consider may be used in an illegal or offensive manner will be confiscated. Persons suspected of carrying out illegal and / or offensive activities on site may be searched.”

If you bring drugs with you, you risk having them confiscated and possible eviction from the Festival. The police have made big efforts in recent years to crack down on the sale of drugs at the Festival. Those in possession of illegal drugs risk being removed from the Festival site and refused re-admission.

Experimenting with drugs can lead to adverse reactions. The crowds and the sheer size of the Festival can be very frightening and disorientating. If you do take drugs and you become ill, depressed or frightened please ask a steward to direct you to one of the many facilities on site, such as Welfare, Worthy Rest or medical services, which can help and support you.

Polydrug use – using more than one drug at a time – intensifies the effects of the drugs, making them more dangerous. Mixing alcohol alongside other drugs is one of the most common forms of polydrug use and can seriously increase the strength and impact of those substances, increasing the chances of a potentially fatal chemical reaction.

The strength and type of drugs can significantly increase their danger. Drugs like Ecstasy and MDMA have, on average, nearly doubled in strength since 2005, with some pills found to be testing four times stronger than those available twenty years ago. The stronger the drug, the more dangerous its effects. The use of Ketamine – a powerful anaesthetic – can be fatal, particularly when taken alongside other substances.

For more information about drugs, head to Frank, an independent government-funded website offering unbiased facts about drug-use (NB: Glastonbury is not responsible for the content of external websites).

Please note that as of November 2023, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) has been classified as an illegal Class C drug, which is therefore banned at Glastonbury Festival.

It is very dangerous to inhale nitrous oxide directly from the canister and if you take too much nitrous oxide you risk falling unconscious and/or suffocating from the lack of oxygen. Please do not bring / use nitrous oxide at Glastonbury Festival.

Worthy Rest

These two new Worthy Rest tents, situated in Silver Hayes and The Park, are places where anyone can go if they need some time away from it all. Hosted by Mind, The Samaritans, SARSAS and iTHINC Harm Reduction team, these organisations are also on hand to provide specialised support, advice and counselling. SARSAS will also be working from a cabin next to Worthy Welfare in Big Ground.

Excessive exposure to loud music may cause damage to your hearing. Remember to give your ears a break. It's a good idea to wear ear-plugs too.

A note on "Noise" - by "Deaf Geoff" Markson, ex-sound engineer to the stars.

Music's a big part of Glastonbury. A lot of people come mainly to listen to the bands. Lucky bastards. It's like this: nowadays there is a piece of legislation called the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. Loosely speaking, the regulations say that in any environment where workers are normally exposed to sound levels of 80 dB(A) or over, employers are obliged to warn staff of the dangers of cumulative sound pressure hearing loss, and provide them with ear protection. There's also an absolute maximum exposure for staff, after taking hearing protection into account, of 87 dB. You can find out more information at the RNID website.

These regulations haven't always been around, and lots of people my age who have been surrounded by rock and roll all their lives wish they had; they make people aware of the dangers of being exposed to high noise levels for long periods. Most younger sound engineers now wear ear protection at all times at an event except when they are doing their mix. Makes sense. And you will see other people around stages wearing ear plugs most of the time too.

But Festival-goers are not at work – you can expose yourself to whatever sound levels you wish! So can I make a suggestion? If you love music and want to continue enjoying it for years to come, look after your ears. Be aware that in front of the PA stacks at nearly all of the music stages at Glastonbury, even the smaller ones, you will be exposed to extreme noise levels. Your ears can deal with it - for a short while. But if you are going to spend a long time at the stages remember to give your ears a break.

This year, we are working with Loop to help raise awareness around hearing protection. Their earplugs can reduce volume by around 17dB, helping you stay aware of what’s happening without muffling sound, and will be available to purchase from some of the festival shops onsite.

Personal sound systems

Please don't bring your own sound system – the Festival has music pretty well covered.  The campsites are patrolled for rogue systems, which will be confiscated.

Induction Loops

Induction Loops are provided for hearing aid users in the Cabaret tent, Theatre tent, Cinema tent, Access Arrivals Tent and Information Tent at the Meeting Point. Customers should look for the T symbol signs.

British Sign Language

Deafzone are onsite providing BSL Interpreters to Deaf festival goers. The Deafzone Tent is located by the Meeting Point.

If you have any enquiries regarding our facilities for D/deaf or hard of hearing Festival-goers please refer to the Festival's information for deaf customers or e-mail accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk.

A number of performances at the Festival may include the use of strobe, flicker and other lighting effects.  Some acts may also use lasers, pyrotechnics and other special effects throughout their performance.

Glastonbury Festival was created in 1970 with a vision of a world which is freer, kinder and more respectful. Almost half a century later, we remain wholeheartedly committed to providing a welcoming, friendly and safe environment for everyone visiting Worthy Farm, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, disability, age, race, ethnicity, religion, belief or social status.

Everyone coming to Glastonbury Festival – whether to have fun or to work – should be able to do so in an atmosphere that is free of harassment, intimidation and anti-social or abusive behaviour.

If anyone does behave in a way which goes against these values, Glastonbury Festival’s staff and security reserve the right to take any action which they deem to be necessary or appropriate in the circumstances, including eviction from the Festival and/or reporting the matter to the relevant authorities.

If you are made to feel uncomfortable while at Glastonbury Festival, then we ask that you inform a member of staff or security as soon as possible. All information received will be dealt with sensitively and appropriately.

The information below is from Avon and Somerset Police, the Festival's local police force. 

Why are Avon and Somerset Police at Glastonbury?

More than 200,000 people attend each day of the Festival and although it is relatively crime-free, we work with the organisers to ensure it’s a safe event for everyone.

A policing presence is also essential to the granting of the licence needed to hold the Festival.

What do we do at the festival?

We adopt the same neighbourhood-style of policing we practice throughout our communities and like we’ve previously done at past Festivals.

This involves regular visible patrols of the site by uniformed officers, officers on horseback and officers on bicycles.

We encourage Festival-goers to approach officers on patrol. They will be happy to stop and have a chat.

Other resources, such as plain-clothed officers and the police helicopter, will also be used when appropriate.

To enhance security, we will also be carrying out Project Servator deployments in and around the Festival site.

Where can you find us?

During the Festival we will be on site 24 hours a day.

We will be based in a compound on Worthy Farm, in the Big Ground (PGB) area of the site. We share this area with other emergency services and partners.

The public can visit us to:

• report a crime to an officer, or by using the on-site phone at the police compound – if you have access to the internet, you can also use our dedicated report crime at Glastonbury form
• ask for directions
• or just to chat to an officer

There are also police information boards situated around the festival site close to the steward cabins. These display information on how to report a crime, and crime prevention advice for those at the festival.

Travel advice

Before you set out on your journey to the festival, check the latest updates on road and public transport networks:

• Visit highwaysengland.co.uk or follow @HighwaysSWEST on Twitter for updates on motorways approaching the area.
• Visit travelsomerset.co.uk or follow @TravelSomerset on Twitter for updates on smaller roads near the festival.
• Visit the Glastonbury website for travel information

Make sure you are fully prepared for delays before setting out. Regardless of how you’re getting there, make sure you take plenty of water with you as well as snacks and a first aid kit, just in case.

If travelling by car, ensure you check your vehicle well in advance, including oil level, tyre pressure and spare tyre.

Safety advice

We want everyone to be familiar with the following advice ahead of this year’s festival.

• Arrive early for extra security measures. This will help prevent delays in getting into the event.
• Be patient with security checks and don’t give security, staff or stewards a hard time. It might seem inconvenient, but these measures are in place to help you.
• It is essential you don’t bring unnecessary items to the event. A suggested packing list can be found on here along with a list of prohibited items, such as lasers, fireworks and drones. Packing light will also help to speed up searches and your entry to the event.
• If you spot someone acting suspiciously, report it to a police officer or to a member of security staff immediately. Don’t leave it to someone else.
• If you see something on social media that concerns you, report it.
• In an emergency, always call 999 and look around you for help from staff – especially those with radios who can raise the alarm quickly.
• Don’t leave bags unattended or anywhere they could cause a security scare. And never agree to look after anyone else’s bags, no matter how genuine they seem.
• If there is an incident, listen to staff and any announcements. Festival organisers have emergency plans to help you keep safe.
• Remember, the chance of being caught in a terrorism incident is small. But if it happens – Run, Hide, Tell.

There is no intelligence to indicate an increased threat to Glastonbury Festival. However, as we did during previous Festivals, we will again be supporting Counter Terrorism Policing’s #BeSafeBeSound campaign on Twitter and Instagram.

Personal property advice

If you are bringing a phone, tablet or other electronic device to the Festival, you are advised to protect it.

Anti-theft apps give us the best chance to find stolen electronics and most are free to download and quick to install.

We advise people to record the make and model of their valuables, if it’s a phone then note down the IMEI number and the account username and password of any tracking app.

You can also register your property (phone, tablet, camera, etc) on the Immobilise database. It takes only a few minutes and it’s free.

Festival-goers are reminded to be discreet with their valuables. Keep it out of sight such as in a front pocket if possible or in one of our free phone pouches, or leave it at the free property lock-ups. Keep it safe, keep it hidden.

Read our crime prevention advice for more information about keeping your personal property safe.

Policing of illegal drugs

We will not tolerate anyone with illegal substances and those found with drugs will be dealt with appropriately and proportionately. This could include being evicted from the site and arrested.

Security checks will be carried out on entry into the site and the festival’s security staff are well practised in finding prohibited items.

Anyone who suspects someone is supplying drugs on site is asked to report it to a police officer, call 101 or report it online using our dedicated report crime at Glastonbury form.

Reporting concerns or crime to us

If you are at the festival and need to speak to us, approach an officer, if a crime is in progress or there is a threat of immediate danger, call 999.

To report non emergencies:

• call us using the on-site phone located at the police compound
• call 101
• or report it online using our dedicated report crime at Glastonbury form.

To help us locate you in the event you do need us, we recommend you download the What3Words app beforehand.

To keep up to date with news and crime prevention advice throughout the festival, or to ask us a non-urgent question, follow us on Twitter and Instagram.

Information for Pilton residents

Although we work with Mendip District Council and Glastonbury Festival throughout the year to ensure the festival runs as smoothly as possible, we do not underestimate the impact it has on the local community and will do everything possible to ensure they are disturbed as little as possible.

We, along with the council and the festival, will have representatives at Pilton Village Hall throughout the festival for local people to speak to should they have any concerns or worries.

Anyone planning to come to Pilton without a Festival ticket is strongly advised not to.

There will be no places for anyone to stop on or near the village and if people try to camp on roadside verges or near people’s homes they will be moved out of the area.

Policing doesn’t start and stop in Pilton. Officers and security staff will be patrolling on all of the routes to the site so that all Festival-goers have as safe a trip as possible and local residents are disturbed as little as possible.

Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, alongside the Glastonbury Fire team and other emergency services, are on-site each year to keep festivalgoers safe.

Fire-related incidents have risen recently, especially from barbecues, faulty gas cylinders in campervans and caravans, and smoking in tents.

If you're heading to Glastonbury this year, be sure to check out the fire team's essential safety tips below to help you and others stay safe.

Chinese lanterns may look spectacular but they create a very real fire risk; once launched there is no control over where they might land.

The lanterns can cause fires and harm livestock. That is why they are banned at Glastonbury Festival and we would ask for your help in making sure that they are no longer used at the event. They really do cause harm.

Said Michael Eavis: "I have two main concerns regarding the lanterns; the first being the risk of fire, as the still burning lanterns could fall within the many acres of closely erected tents causing rapid fire spread and endangering lives.

"The second is a longer term consequence and the cause of many complaints from neighbouring landowners, as the lanterns can land on grass in farmers’ fields which is made into hay & silage for winter fodder and fed to stock; the operation of cutting and collecting the grass will chop the wire or bamboo frame of the lantern into needle sized pieces which in turn will be digested by the animals into their stomach possibly resulting in a slow death, I have had two cattle killed in this way at Worthy Farm.

"The ban of the lanterns is for a reason. Hopefully this information will deter anyone from bringing them onto site this year."

Glastonbury Festival is an overwhelmingly peaceful event, yet some crime does unfortunately occur. The most common crime is theft from – or even of – tents. Free property lock-ups are provided, security staff and stewards patrol the site and CCTV cameras are employed – both on and off site – for crime prevention purposes.

You can help yourself by following the advice below. Don't let the criminals disrupt your enjoyment by committing crime against you or your friends.

• Lock and empty your vehicles. Leave the glove compartment open and conspicuously empty.
• Only bring what you can afford to lose: you can buy disposable cameras on site.
• There's safety in groups: set up camp near friends and make friends with your neighbours. Look out for each other's property.
• Mark your property: clearly label your gear (including your tent) with your postcode. Obvious indelible markings will significantly reduce the risk of things being stolen and will increase the chance of their return if found. Tag your keys with a phone number and a friend's address. UV pens are also available at Property Lock-ups for marking your property.
• Use the security lockups for your valuables: the lockups are FREE and available 24 hours.
• Take any valuables – including prescription medication – with you when you leave your tent: keep them with you or store them in the security lock-ups.
• To make life harder for thieves, leave your tent untidy so there's not an obvious bag to grab quickly.
• Be inventive about where you hide your valuables when sleeping: you may not hear someone enter your tent, so separate your money and valuables into small amounts and hide them in different places in your tent.
• Don't challenge people looking through tents – report them to Festival staff or the Police. Campsite stewards are there for reporting suspicious behaviour, and offenders WILL be expelled from site.
• Keep with friends or people you trust: unfortunately at any large gathering a small number of people attend to prey on others. You present a far less vulnerable target as a group than you would on your own.
• Avoid dark areas and take advantage of the extra lighting along main thoroughfares and in the car parks.

Money sense:

• Don't keep all your cash and valuables in the same place: spread them around in different pockets.
• If using the cash machines after dark, go with a friend.
• Only take the credit cards you need.
• Make a note of your credit card numbers and leave it at home, plus the number to call if they are mislaid (phone numbers for lost credit cards are also held at Info Points).
• Wear your wristband at all times. The wristbands alone are not valid for entry/re-entry – so transferring them is useless, but you will need to wear your wristband at all times. Once inside the security fence the authorities are able to make a visual check on the legitimacy of each person on site.
• Read "The Knowledge" in the Festival Programme: it's full of useful information and tips to help you have a fantastic Festival experience.

If you do have something stolen, or if you lose something:

Lost property is at Worthy Welfare. Over 700 items were handed in during last year's Festival including 250 wallets/cardholders with contents, 118 mobile phones and 38 cameras. It is always worth checking there if anything goes missing.

The Police compound is at the top of the Big Ground camping field, near the Bank and the Farmhouse. Please report all crime. The Police can give you statements for insurance purposes.

Around the Festival site many different spiritual groups offer hospitality and sanctuary, and some provide welfare for those in need. You will not be expected to join in any acts of worship or other activities run by the tents, although you are welcome to join in if you wish. They are all present at the Festival to offer a service, and are open to everyone regardless of faith – or lack thereof.

Unfortunately, as the law stands, it is not possible to have a legal marriage at the Festival. The Festival is not a licensed venue. So, until the law changes, that legally binding wedding under your favourite tree will have to wait.

However, if you would like to add a little Glastonbury flavour to your wedding, the Pilton Tithe Barn is available to hire for wedding receptions. Click here for info.

General Admission full weekend tickets (valid from Wednesday 25th June to Sunday 29th June) for Glastonbury 2025 cost £378.50 (including a £5 booking fee per ticket) plus postage and packing at £10.25 per order (£2.75 per order for coach tickets).

WHY YOU NEED TO REGISTER

To prevent touting, tickets for Glastonbury Festival are non-transferable. Each ticket features the photograph of the registered ticket holder with security checks carried out to ensure that only the person in the photograph is admitted to the Festival.

Whether you are booking a deposit for a Festival ticket or a ticket + coach travel option, every person (aged 13 or over) who intends to purchase a ticket must have their own valid registration number ahead of tickets going on sale. 

If you plan to buy tickets for other people, they all need to be registered ahead of the ticket sale – and you will need their registration numbers and corresponding postcodes in order to purchase tickets on their behalf.  

Resale of tickets is strictly prohibited and will result in the cancellation of your order.

HOW TO REGISTER

Online registration is free of charge and only takes a few minutes, you can check your registration here. To complete the registration process, you will need to provide basic contact details and to upload a passport-style photo.

We recommend completing your registration well in advance of attempting to book tickets, as registration is temporarily suspended before and during the main ticket sale period. Please allow time for your photo to be reviewed, you may need to allow time to re-submit your registration if you need to. Once registration closes there will be no opportunity to submit/edit a registration until after the ticket sales. 

Registration can be completed online at www.glastonburyregistration.co.uk, where you will need to enter your email address. Having entered your email address you will be sent a unique link within an hour which will allow you to start the registration process. This email will only be valid for 4 hours (whilst registration is open). Please do check your junk/spam inboxes!

If you are hoping to register more than one person on a single email address, the link can be used multiple times but you will need to wait 10 minutes between submitting each registration. If you are submitting a registration on behalf of another individual, you must ensure that you have that individual’s permission to provide their information to us. 

Before beginning the registration process, please ensure you have a suitable photograph/photographs which are in jpeg format, of a suitable size (min 900 pixels wide x 1350 pixels tall), of portrait orientation and passport standard. 

For more information about suitable photographs and how to edit or crop your registration photo, please click here.

Your registration photograph will then be reviewed within 48 hours, in the working week, after which you will receive a follow up email either accepting or rejecting your photo. 

If you have not received a submission confirmation email within 48 hours (Monday-Friday) of making an online registration, please check your junk/spam inboxes. 

If your photograph is accepted, you will also receive confirmation of your registration number and registered postcode. 

If your photograph is rejected you should receive an email notification of this, too. 

If your registration is rejected or you do not receive a registration number within a further 48 hours, please submit a new registration. 

If you are unable to register online, please send an SAE to: Glastonbury Registration, PO Box 4288, Shepton Mallet, BA4 9BB to receive a postal registration form.

If you haven’t received a registration number within this period, please contact the Festival Office. 

Your chance of buying tickets is not influenced in any way by the number of times you register, or the information you provide during registration. Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket.

EXISTING REGISTRATIONS

As an organisation, we need to ensure that the data we hold about you is relevant, accurate, kept up to date, and stored for no longer than is necessary. This means from time to time, we need to review the data we hold for you.

Any registrations submitted prior to 2020 required reviewing and confirming in Autumn 2023. If you registered prior to 2020 and intend to try and buy tickets in a future ticket sale, please check to see if you have any valid registrations here or submit a fresh registration here. 

Please note, it is not possible to change your registered photo if you have a current booking linked to your registration details, so please make sure you have an up to date photograph before attempting to book tickets.

If you no longer have access to the email account which you originally used to register, you will need to submit a new registration. If in any doubt, please re-register well in advance of when you intend to book tickets. Your chance of buying tickets is not influenced in any way by the number of times you register, or the information you provide during registration. Registration does not reserve or guarantee you a ticket. 

Registrations without a ticket booking linked to them can be updated and these changes would be reflected in future ticket sales. You can update some of your registered details by looking up your registration here using the registered email address. 

If you are successful in a ticket sale your registration will become locked and any attempted update would not be reflected on the currently ticket booking. If you need to update your delivery address, you will need to amend this directly with See Tickets. 

As with previous sales, tickets will be exclusively sold at glastonbury.seetickets.com and demand is expected to significantly outweigh the number of tickets available. 

Rather than refreshing the holding page to attempt to access the booking page, this year, when the ticket sale begins (at 6pm or 9am respectively) everyone who is already on the glastonbury.seetickets.com page will randomly be assigned a place in a queue to access the booking process. 

Anyone who logs on once the sale has started will automatically be added to the back of the queue, so it’s important to make sure you are online ready at least a few minutes before the sale opens. Once you are in the queue, a progress bar will indicate how close you are to reaching the booking page. 

Please do not refresh this page of use multiple devices or tabs as you may lose you place in the queue. 

In the General Admission resale on Sunday 27th April, you may purchase up to 4 tickets per transaction – but remember that you can only book one ticket per registration. If you plan to book for a group, you will need all their registration numbers and registered postcodes, too – get them ready now.

The Ticket + Coach travel options sale on Thursday 24th April will be limited to 2 tickets per transaction, to reflect the limited number of seats available per coach. Again, you will need the registration number for each ticket you are booking.

If you are booking a Ticket + Coach travel option, you will be asked to choose a departure town (and time for towns with multiple departures). It is only possible to book tickets from one departure town in a single transaction. If the option you have selected is not available, please choose a different town or day that is convenient for you. Travel on the coach you have selected is mandatory in order to receive your Festival ticket, so please only book on routes that are feasible for you. 

Once all of your information is correct, you will be able to add optional elements such as car parking passes (General Admission ticket bookings only) and TicketPlan Refund Protection.

Tickets are only allocated once your payment has been processed – so we would encourage you to enter your payment details swiftly (but accurately). 

Please ensure you have access to any device needed to pass additional security questions from your card issuer. 

Please note, your registration numbers will be locked for up to 10 minutes if your details are entered incorrectly, an attempt to book is already held against your registration number, or your 5 minutes on the booking page ends. If the transaction fails and tickets are still available, your registration number will be released to give you the chance to try again.

If the page ‘hangs’ and you can’t get any further, try pressing back once and then continue your booking from that point.

If that doesn’t help, close your browser and start again. Please don’t continue to refresh the page more than 10 minutes after entering your details as your access to the page will have expired. You will need to close the browser and start again to gain fresh access to booking page.

SEE TICKETS COACH + TICKET OPTIONS

As part of the Festival’s initiative to encourage Festival goers to reduce audience transport emissions, deposits for ticket + coach travel options go on sale at 6pm GMT on Thursday 14th November 2024, ahead of the general release of tickets.

If you are travelling with children aged 12 and under (including babes in arms), who do not require an entry ticket for the Festival, you will need to book these additional coach seats whilst making your ticket + coach travel booking. 

If the additional seats required are not available when booking, please contact coachtravel@seetickets.com upon completing your booking in order to enquire about purchasing additional coach seats (NB: standard fares apply). 

Please be aware any additional coach tickets are strictly subject to availability so if you did not select this with your initial booking, ensure you contact the Coach Team as soon as possible in order to avoid disappointment. 

If you intend on applying for a PA ticket through the Festival’s Access Team, you will also need to book these additional coach seats whilst making your ticket + coach travel booking. If the additional seats required are not available when booking, please contact accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk to request the Access application form. You must make sure it is clear on your application that you require an additional coach seat for your PA (NB: standard fares apply). 

Before booking in the ticket + coach travel sale please consider the following: 

• Do you have a disability or existing health condition that could make travelling by coach an unsuitable or difficult option for you? 
• Are you able to sit on a coach for the required length of time without having the option of taking regular breaks when you want to. 
• All the coaches will be full, please consider whether you will be comfortable being on a busy coach in close proximity to other passengers. 
• Coaches will have at least one toilet on board, however, please note these will not be wheelchair accessible and will not be regularly cleaned during the coach journey. 
• If you intend on applying for a PA ticket and your application is successful, this person must travel with you on your designated coach. Please book this additional seat when making your ticket + coach travel booking. 
• If you buy a ticket with coach travel you cannot then purchase a campervan ticket in either the accessible campsite or general campervan fields. 
• Tickets with coach travel cannot be changed to general admission tickets. If you buy a ticket with coach travel you must travel on your designated coach. 

Your travel voucher will be sent as an E-ticket to the email address associated with your registration number. E-tickets tend to be sent out in mid-May. 

Your Festival ticket(s) will be distributed once the coach has departed from the pick-up point. Please ensure you have Photo ID available in order to received your entry ticket. 

CAR PARK TICKETS

Car park passes (£55 plus £2.75 postage and packaging fee where purchased separately) for Glastonbury Festival are available when paying the remaining ticket balance. You will not be able to book car park passes until you pay the balance for at least one of the tickets on your booking. 

Car park passes are only available to general admission ticket holders. It is not possible to purchase a car park pass when booking for paying the balance for a ticket + coach travel booking. Car park passes will be sent out with your Festival tickets (unless booked separately). 

Worthy View and Sticklinch require their own specific car parking pass. Limited car parking is available a short walk from the accommodation. Car park passes would be available to purchase when making the booking and in recent years have sold out ahead of the Festival taking place. It would not be possible to park in the Worthy View or Sticklinch car park with a general admission car parking pass. 

If you require accessible / Blue Badge parking, you must apply for this by completing the Festivals Access Application. Please contact accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk to request the Access application form.

As with your Festival tickets, car park passes are non-transferable, and attempts to re-sell them may result in their cancellation. Refunds for unrequired car park passes are available prior to the ticket refund deadline (23:59 May 9th 2025). 

CAMPERVAN/CARAVAN TICKETS

Campervan tickets for 2025 will cost £200 for a standard pitch or £300 for a large pitch.

Following the November accommodation sale, Campervan/Caravan passes are currently sold out. There will be a resale of any cancelled accommodation options in the Spring, please keep an eye on the Festival website for any information. 

Campervan tickets are only available to general admission ticket holders. It is not possible to purchase a car park or campervan ticket when booking or paying the balance for a ticket + coach travel booking. 

Only campervans or caravans with fitted sleeping, and washing or cooking facilities will be allowed into the campervan fields. Please refer to the CAMPERVAN INFORMATION SECTION for more information about which types of vehicles can use these fields.

Demand for campervan tickets is usually very high, so we would recommend booking one as soon as they are released. As with your Festival tickets, campervan tickets are non-transferable and will be printed with the name and address of the booker. Attempts to re-sell them may result in their cancellation. If you book a campervan ticket and later change your mind, refunds are available prior to the ticket refund deadline; subject to an administration fee. 

There will be a limited number of campervan/caravan spaces available in the accessible campsite. Tickets for these can be bought via the Festival’s Accessibility team.  

Campervan tickets will be sent out with your Festival tickets (unless booked after your balance payment). 

Whilst every effort will be made to accommodate campervans in your preferred site, the Festival reserves the right to provide alternative facilities in the event of adverse conditions. 

TIPIS 

A limited number of Tipis that can each accommodate up to 6 adults are made available for hire in the Festival’s Tipi village on the southern slopes of the Festival site. Tipis cost £1795 to hire (payable in full at the time of booking). 

Please note that Tipis do not include Festival tickets, and everyone wishing to stay in a Tipi must have a valid Festival ticket. 

Following the November accommodation sale, Tipis are currently sold out. There will be a resale of any cancelled accommodation options in the Spring, please keep an eye on the Festival website for any information. 

Tipis come complete with groundsheet and rain-catcher; however they are intended to be an elemental experience, without the trappings of ‘luxury’ campsites. You will need to bring your own beds and bedding, and expect to be using basic camping facilities. 

Further information can be found here. If you book a Tipi and later change your mind, refunds are available prior to the ticket refund deadline (23:59 May 9th 2025); subject to an administration fee of £25. 

There are no separate weekend tickets for customers with access requirements. Anyone wanting to attend the Festival must register and book tickets in the usual manner, as described above.

Once you have secured your Festival ticket please contact the Festival’s Access Team to request the link for the online Access Application Form which was available in December 2024.

Please note access to these facilities can reach capacity so we do recommend customers complete the Access Application form and return this to us as early as they can.

Before booking in the ticket + coach travel sale please consider the following;

Some late night and screening facilities may have age restrictions for entry. Those wishing to attend should bring suitable ID as proof of age, and parents and responsible adults should ensure that all restrictions are adhered to.

LOCAL  &  SUNDAY TICKETS 

FULL WEEKEND AND SUNDAY TICKETS FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS ON SALE FROM 9AM SUNDAY 24TH NOVEMBER 

9AM – FULL WEEKEND TICKETS FOR INNER ZONE ONLY 

10AM – FULL WEEKEND TICKETS FOR INNER & OUTER ZONES 

11AM – SUNDAY TICKETS FOR MENDIP AND CENTRAL SOMERSET RESIDENTS 

FULL WEEKEND TICKETS FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS 

Michael Eavis has once again held back a number of full weekend tickets for local people as a second chance for those residents who were unsuccessful in the coach and general admission ticket sales (14th and 17th November 2024 respectively) to book tickets.

The local ticket sale will take place from 9am, Sunday 24th November, 2024, online at glastonbury.seetickets.com.

The local ticket sale allows local residents to take advantage of the Festival’s ticket deposit scheme, meaning only a deposit of £75 per ticket will be payable in the local ticket sale, with the balance payable 1st-7th April.

You may purchase up to 4 tickets per transaction provided all those for whom you are booking are full time, permanent residents registered within the local catchment area at the time you make the deposit and balance payments. Please note that the Festival may request proof of address (for example identification such as a valid driver’s license or a recent (past 30 days) council tax bill or polling card) for all individuals you are booking tickets for in order to verify eligibility. If you are unable to provide satisfactory evidence that you and the individuals in your party are permanent residents within the local ticket catchment, then your ticket booking may be cancelled.

When booking, you will need to quote the registration number and registered postcode of each person, and the name they registered under. Please have your debit / credit card number (with security number from the back of your card) available when booking, and the detail of the ticket delivery address, including the postcode.  

Children aged 12 and under, when accompanied by a ticket holding adult are admitted free and do not need a ticket.  

In order to make sure that those most likely to be affected by the Festival have the best chance to secure tickets, for the 2025 Festival additional local tickets will be made available to residents within the inner catchment zone, before opening the sale to the outer catchment zone.

Permanent full time residents living and registered in the following towns and villages within the inner zone are eligible to book tickets from 9am: 

Doulting, East Pennard, Glastonbury, North Wootton, Pilton, Pylle, Shepton Mallet, West Bradley, West Pennard.

A map of the eligible areas can be found below. The local ticket catchment boundary lines are arbitrated at the discretion of the Festival. Please note that the Festival may request proof of address (for example identification such as a valid driver’s license or a recent (past 30 days) council tax bill or polling card) for all individuals you are booking tickets for in order to verify eligibility. If you are unable to provide satisfactory evidence that you and the individuals in your party are permanent residents within the eligible catchment area, then your ticket booking may be cancelled.The Festival’s decision on eligibility is final, and any tickets found to be purchased using false information will be cancelled.

In order to ensure tickets in the local sale only go to genuine full time, permanent local residents, registration will be suspended in advance and throughout the ticket sale period. If you are not already registered within the catchment, you will not be able to book tickets in this sale. Registration will reopen later in the Autumn.

If you live in a ‘new build’ property (less than 3 years old) within the eligible area, please contact us to verify eligibility. 

Any tickets for which the balance is not paid will be refunded £50 of their deposit, and a £25 admin fee per ticket will be retained.

All usual Festival ticket terms and conditions apply. For more information head to our Ticket Info Section. 

Tickets for Glastonbury Festival are strictly non-transferable.

SUNDAY TICKETS 

Sunday tickets for Glastonbury Festival are available exclusively to Mendip & Central Somerset residents. This wider catchment area includes residents of towns such as Bruton, Frome & Radstock, which fall outside the local full weekend ticket catchment, but who may still experience some inconvenience during the Festival period.

This is a great opportunity for those who are unable to go to the whole event or who have been unsuccessful in purchasing full weekend tickets to attend the Festival for the day, on Sunday 29th June 2025.

Sunday tickets for local residents will be available from 11am, Sunday 24th November 2024 from glastonbury.seetickets.com. You may purchase up to 6 tickets per transaction provided all those for whom you are booking are full time, permanent residents registered within the Mendip & Central Somerset area at the time you make the booking. Please note that the Festival may request proof of address (for example identification such as a driver’s license or a recent (past 30 days) council tax bill or polling card) for all individuals you are booking tickets for in order to verify eligibility. If you are unable to provide satisfactory evidence that you and the individuals in your party are permanent residents within the Mendip and Central Somerset catchment area, then your ticket booking may be cancelled.

A condition for the sale of these tickets is that travel to the Festival site is by bus only.

The ticket price (£135) includes travel by bus to and from the site from the following local towns: Castle Cary, Frome, Radstock, Glastonbury, Midsomer Norton, Shepton Mallet, Street and Wells.

Morning pick-ups from each location are at 09:00 and 11:00, with several return buses to each location leaving the Festival, at 22:00 and 00:30. All members of your booking must travel from and return to the same location at the same time.

Sunday tickets are strictly non-transferable. As such, each ticket will feature the photograph of the registered ticket holder with security checks carried out to ensure that only the person in the photograph is admitted to the Festival.

Every person (aged 13 or over) who intends to purchase a Sunday ticket must have their own valid registration number.

Children aged 6-12 are admitted free, but require a pre-booked bus ticket, which is charged at £25, however they do not need to register in order to book a bus ticket. Children under 6 travel free, and do not require any tickets.

Please have your debit / credit card number (with security number from back of card) available when booking, and the detail of the ticket delivery address, including the postcode.

Any cancellations up to 9th May 2025 will incur a £25 per ticket admin fee (exc. child bus seats). Sunday tickets are non-refundable after the 9th May 2025 cancellation deadline. You may wish to purchase the optional TicketPlan Booking Refund Protection so that a refund of the value of your Sunday Ticket can be provided to you if you cannot attend the Festival due to the circumstances set out in the Terms and Conditions. Refund Protection is subject to an additional charge of £3.79 per ticket. Click here to download a PDF of the TicketPlan Booking Refund Protection Summary for Sunday tickets.

Refund protection provides cover for a range of specified unforeseen circumstances that may prevent you being able to attend the Festival. Alternatively, you may wish to check whether your ticket is covered elsewhere.  

Full Terms and Conditions of Sunday Tickets can be found here.   

VILLAGE TICKETS

Residents who are eligible for Village tickets will be contacted in the New Year.

A limited number of hospitality tickets will be available for the media and those working in the music industry to purchase directly from the Festival, on an application basis. Applications to purchase hospitality tickets will open in early Spring 2025. As with general admission tickets, hospitality tickets are subject to the Festival’s Photography Policy and Broadcaster, Internet and Filming Policy. For more information please contact the hospitality team. 

PLEASE NOTE THERE ARE NO “VIP”  OR “BACKSTAGE” TICKETS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE FOR GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

Whilst a handful of the Festival’s neighbours do offer hospitality tickets strictly as part of the accommodation available on their property, these tickets are not permitted to be booked through third parties or agencies, or on a ticket only basis. 

PLEASE DO NOT RISK FALLING TO UNAUTHORISED TOUTS

We take every effort to ensure that touts do not have any access to tickets for the Festival by preventing multiple purchases, requiring all potential ticket buyers to register their details in advance of booking tickets, and printing the name, address and photo of each ticket holder on their ticket to prevent tickets being used by anyone but the intended ticket holder. 

Unfortunately, there are still unscrupulous individuals willing to try to take advantage of the demand for tickets, we have therefore compiled this guide to help you identify legitimate tickets, and we would urge anyone searching for tickets to read this guide, and do their research so as not to risk falling victim to touts. 

BUYING GENERAL ADMISSION WEEKEND AND SUNDAY TICKETS

The simplest way to avoid falling victim to touts is to always buy tickets from our only authorised ticket seller: See Tickets.

See Tickets is the only ticket agency that is authorised to sell general admission full weekend and Sunday tickets for Glastonbury Festival. No other site or agency will be allocated tickets. 

As part of our ongoing efforts against ticket touting, anyone who hopes to attempt to book tickets for the Festival would need to be individually registered in advance of the ticket sales. 

Tickets for the Festival are physical tickets and each ticket is personalised to the individual named ticket holder. Tickets are strictly non-transferable. 

All tickets are checked by security staff on entry to the event. Only the specified ticket holder will be admitted to the Festival. 

Tickets remain the property of the Festival. Any forged or tampered tickets will be confiscated from you, you will not be permitted to the event and you may face questioning from the police.

A ticket being offered for sale by any other individual or on any other site (including on social media or resale sites) is not likely to be legitimate, is offered in breach of the event’s terms and conditions and entry and as such will not permit entry to the Festival. The terms and conditions of booking Festival tickets are that they are always non-transferable and tickets bought from other sources will be refused admission. 

To be as safe as you can and to avoid obtaining an illegitimate ticket, follow these simple guidelines:

• Do not buy from an unofficial ticket agent. The only authorised ticket agent for Glastonbury Festival is See Tickets. Do not buy from internet auction sites or social media.
• Do not buy from another individual or tout, either in advance or outside the event.

If you ignore these pointers you are likely to pay a lot of money for something worthless as the ticket will be invalid (and may not exist at all).

Glastonbury Festival will be unable to assist you if you have bought from an unauthorised source.

ETICKETS

We do not issue ‘Print at home’ or eTickets for entry to Glastonbury Festival. Any tickets that are offered for sale fitting that description are a scam. (Please note eTickets may be issued for coach travel or accommodation, however these alone will not grant entry to the Festival itself).

IF YOU ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO ATTEND

General Admission tickets via See Tickets are refundable until May 9th, subject to the relevant admin fee. TicketPlan Refund Protection is also available when paying the remaining balance, and your situation may be covered beyond the May 9th deadline.  

If you purchased a ticket and either no longer wish to attend the Festival or are no longer able to attend the Festival, please don’t be tempted to try and sell your ticket – you may still be able to receive a refund via the proper channels! 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

You can find our terms and conditions here.

Authorised agents will always make available the ticket Terms and Conditions applicable to the sale and make the transaction as transparent as possible. This protects both the buyer and the agent and offers the customer legal protection. You will not be afforded the same protection if you buy from an unauthorised seller.

AUCTION / RESALE SITES

We do not supply any tickets to auction or resale sites. Any cancelled tickets are resold at face value via official ticket resales exclusively on Seetickets.com. 

HOSPITALITY TICKETS

A limited number of hospitality tickets are available for the media and those working in the music industry and related media to purchase, on an application basis, directly from the Festival. The Festival is the only authorised seller for stand alone hospitality tickets. We do not permit any other vendor or agency to sell hospitality tickets on their own.  

A handful of the Festival’s neighbours do also offer hospitality tickets strictly as part of the accommodation available on their property. These tickets are not permitted to be booked through third parties or agencies, or on a ticket only basis.  If you have any concerns about the validity of a neighbouring hospitality provider, please contact us.

VIP TICKETS/PASSES

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no such thing as a VIP ticket/pass/backstage pass for Glastonbury. Anyone claiming to be able to provide such a thing is bogus. 

CONCEIRGE COMPANIES/THIRD PARTY SELLERS

Glastonbury Festival does not supply tickets to any “concierge services”. 

Each year there are a growing number of individuals claiming to have tickets for sale, despite our best efforts to warn against unofficial ticket sellers. If you have any concerns about an individual or company claiming to have Glastonbury tickets for sale, please contact us to attempt to verify the details. You can also make a report to Action Fraud: Website / Tel: 0300 123 2040. 

If you have chosen to try and purchase tickets through a potentially illegitimate ticket seller, contact your payment card issuer as soon as possible, and if you believe there is criminality involved, contact the Police along with advice from your card issuer. 

PLEASE DO NOT RISK FALLING TO UNAUTHORISED TOUTS

STRONG CUSTOMER AUTHENTICATION (SCA)

UK and European banks have an additional layer of protection for online transactions, which may mean you are asked to provide additional information when making some purchases.

These security measures will assess each online transaction and decide if you will need to take an extra step at checkout. This is called Two-factor authentication, which means you will be asked to provide at least 2 pieces of data from the following categories:

A password or PIN that you have set up with your bank

A one-time passcode issued via your mobile phone or bank issued pin-reader

Biometric authentication, such as a fingerprint or facial recognition

Whether or not you are required to complete Two-factor authentication is determined by your card issuer. If you are required to provide further details, you’ll be guided through this process by your card issuer and will not be able to complete check out until your card issuer is satisfied that authentication has been successful.

To ensure everyone has a fair and equal chance of getting a ticket, Glastonbury Festival reserves the right to  cancel any bookings made using multi-hit software/applications or otherwise deploying additional technology or ”hacking” in order to gain an unfair advantage, profit or commercial gain.

Attempting to book tickets on multiple browser tabs can cause your transaction to fail. We advise that you use one single browser tab only when booking tickets, in order to avoid problems with your transaction.

As part of Glastonbury Festival’s commitment to eradicate the touting of tickets, the Festival permits the purchase of a maximum of one ticket per person in groups of up to 6 tickets per transaction.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL BROADCASTING, MEDIA, ONLINE CONTENT, FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY POLICY (“MEDIA POLICY”)

1. Background & Introduction

Glastonbury Festival welcomes media interest in our unique event and aims to accommodate coverage wherever possible.

In the past, managing this interest was more straightforward, as we could control access for professional photographers and film crews. With the rise of mobile phones capable of high-quality photo and video recording, and the huge expansion in recent years of social media and of those wishing to capture and post filmed content from the Festival, this has become more intricate. 

This Media Policy sets out the Festival’s approach to recording, photography and related media activity.

5. Definitions

Since it began as a small-scale event on a dairy farm in 1970, Glastonbury has become one of the world’s biggest festivals. In 2023, more than 140,000 ticket-holders enjoyed entertainment at over 100 stages across five days, in the heart of Somerset. Celebrating diversity in culture, Glastonbury has become a place of joy and discovery for attendees, but the Festival has also proven to have a positive influence beyond the arts.

In 2023 we commissioned a report to measure the Festival’s economic impact, in both the immediate local economy and the wider economic environment. The report, carried out by research specialists Fourth Street, found Glastonbury Festival to have a significant positive economic impact both nationally and in Somerset, generating around £168 million of income for UK businesses including £32 million for businesses based in Somerset.

What Glastonbury Festival spends

The total cost of putting on the 2023 Glastonbury Festival was approximately £62 million, paid across 922 organisations providing services to the Festival. Included in this are the materials and infrastructure that bring the fields to life; all the crew creating the build and managing the stages; and costs for the staff that work for the Festival throughout the year.

Of this £62 million spent by the Festival, just under £12 million was paid to 258 companies in Somerset.

What Glastonbury Festival-goers spend

Glastonbury Festival draws its audience from all over the UK and around the world. In 2023, Festival-goers were estimated to have spent £1.6 million in the wider Somerset community: a quarter of this went to businesses providing food and drink, while 50 percent of it was spent in local shops and supermarkets for provisions and supplies for the Festival.

Income generated for others

The Festival also helps generate income for other businesses outside of the Festival site – both in the local area and elsewhere. Around 900 Festival-goers stayed in local hotels and B&Bs during the Festival, spending a total in the region of £450,000. Some Festival-goers also stayed in hotels and B&Bs on the journey to and from the Festival.

Neighbouring landowners were also able to generate income, either from operating accommodation themselves in the form of B&Bs or campsites unaffiliated to the Festival, or renting their land to others to operate from. An estimated 4,000 Festival-goers stayed in privately-run, offsite campsites adjoining the Festival site, spending in the region of £6.5 million.

As well as Festival-goers, crew working for Glastonbury were estimated to have spent about £900,000 with local businesses outside the Festival during their time spent on site. Those volunteering at the Festival, are estimated to have spent a further £500,000 with local businesses.

Jobs created by Glastonbury

The sheer size, breadth and temporary nature of the Festival means it is reliant on an array of professionals to bring it to fruition. The Festival directly and indirectly sustains a broad range of jobs and industries, including IT services and plumbing, signwriting and caravan rentals, security and catering, among many others. In 2023, Glastonbury Festival sustained over 1,100 UK jobs in total, 325 of which were based in Somerset.

Of these, the Festival directly paid for work itself equivalent to around 255 full time jobs. Around 80 people worked for the Festival office in planning and administration (the equivalent of 55 full time jobs), most of whom live locally to the Festival.

In total, an additional 1,750 people worked directly for Glastonbury Festival in 2023, over shorter periods of time. These roles made up the equivalent of 200 full time jobs. Those who are self-employed estimated that on average, Glastonbury Festival accounted for 16% of their annual earnings. However, some obtain a much larger part of their annual earnings from the Festival.

Jobs created by Glastonbury for others / traders

Glastonbury Festival is more than just an arts festival; it is a food festival; a vibrant market – selling everything from bucket hats to handcrafted jewellery; and a craft and wellbeing centre, offering everything from massages to stone masonry workshops. The Festival provides many opportunities for external traders and in 2023 it featured 918 trading stalls, including 56 units which provided food and drink to crew. With a handful of exceptions, all stalls were operated by independent businesses, and staffed by 9,500 people working for around 314,000 hours – the equivalent to 170 full time jobs.

Contribution of volunteers

An incredible bank of volunteers donate their time while providing essential services to Glastonbury Festival: from stewarding and loo clean-up teams, to property lock-ups and campsite crew. These volunteers raised much needed funds for organisations including Friends of the Earth, Samaritans, Diverse UK, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Charity, Cancer Research UK as well as many local schools, community organisations, hospices, carnival clubs, sports clubs and other groups.

In 2023, there were more than 10,000 volunteers at Glastonbury Festival – giving around 240,000 hours of their time for over 200 not-for-profit groups. Of these, 3,511 stewards raised £700,000 in total for their chosen organisations. Oxfam and Water Aid provided 2,500 and 700 volunteers on similar terms.

Over 30 percent of those volunteering at Glastonbury Festival raised funds for organisations within the area.

Charitable Donations / social responsibility

In 2023, Glastonbury Festival was thrilled to have made payments of over £3.7m to a range of incredible charitable causes and campaigns. It is thanks to those who support the Festival that we have been able to make these donations to help those facing challenges both in the UK and across the world. In addition to this £3.7m, the Festival’s raffle of Glastonbury tickets for Oxfam’s Crowdfunder DEC Appeal raised over £1m towards the Syria-Turkey Earthquake response, while an online auction of tickets raised £116,000 for the Trussell Trust.

The Festival has also contributed to its host village of Pilton by building 52 social housing homes and upgrading the village playing fields to include a new pavilion, club house, skate park and tennis courts. The Festival also helped fund the rebuilding of the Pilton Club and Village hall, as well as the restoration of the historic Tithe Barn.

Methodology of the report

The report was based on a survey of 643 Festival-goers – interviewed face-to-face at the 2023 Festival – plus an online survey of 354 Festival staff and 148 volunteers, as well as 30 telephone interviews with local businesses.

A 2007 survey revealed that Glastonbury Festival impacts on the worldwide economy to the tune of more than £73million.

The figure was one of dozens featured in a report by Mendip District Council on the economic impact of the Somerset event.

This was the first study of its kind to be undertaken on the Festival, which was carried out by Bristol-based Baker Associates.

Its aim was to fully understand the economic effects of Glastonbury and help to support the planning of future years.

John Baker from Baker Associates said: "We were commissioned by Mendip District Council and Glastonbury Festivals to carry out the study, which is one of the first to focus on the overall economic impact of the Festival, and to improve understanding of its impacts on various areas of the local and regional economy. The study also reports on other areas that are linked to its impact on the economy, and how these issues can be looked at in the future to further build on the economic benefits that the Glastonbury Festival could bring to Mendip."

The report gives the first detailed insight into the Festival - the largest of its kind in the UK - including the £73m gross impact it has on the UK and international economies.

The following points are just an insight into some of the figures revealed through the report:

• A crowd of 177,500 people attended the Glastonbury Festival in 2007, with an average spend per person of £293.24.
• Total spending at the Festival site in Pilton by revellers and traders was about £25.6million, and off-site spend was about £26.5million, giving a total spend of about £52million directly linked to the Festival.
• Estimated spending by Glastonbury Festivals associated with staging the 2007 Festival was £21.2million (over the period November 2006 to October 2007).
• Therefore the gross spend linked to the 2007 Glastonbury Festivals (including the Glastonbury Extravaganza and the Equinox 'Pilton' Party) was more than £73million.

Speaking at the press conference, held in Pilton's Working Men's Club, Cllr Harvey Siggs, leader of Mendip District Council, said: "We noticed in the year that we didn't have a Festival that there was an economic impact in the area. So we decided last year to quantify the benefits. The report shows clearly the ripple effect from the local area right around the country."

Dick Vernon, Trading Manager for Glastonbury Festival, added: "We've always said that the Festival had a big economic impact but we've never been able to prove it. Now we have an independent group who have come up with some staggering figures."

Summing up proceedings, Michael Eavis said: "You only have to drive around Pilton to see the benefits. We've spent £880,000 on the village hall and built 18 houses, and we'd like to do a lot more."

In booking a ticket and attending Glastonbury Festival, you accept the Festival’s terms and conditions of entry. It is important that you read and understand all of these terms and conditions, which all ticket purchasers are required to subscribe to.

We would also encourage you to read the Festival’s full environmental policies.

From the very beginning, Glastonbury Festival was established to celebrate music, culture and togetherness – inspiring a respect for both our environment and each other. This passion for the arts and all people still underpins the Festival today, and we continue to strive towards a more vibrant, inclusive and sustainable future for all.

We like to think of Glastonbury Festival as a laboratory for change. Guided by principles of environmental responsibility and social equality, we are working to implement long-lasting sustainable practices and help promote a diverse, culturally rich, inclusive and accepting world both at Glastonbury Festival and beyond our gates.

Sustainability & Environmental impact

Energy & Decarbonisation
Sustainability and respect for our environment has always been at the heart of Glastonbury Festival. Since 1984 – and the inception of the Green Fields – the Festival has been using renewable energy for power. Right from the start, all stages in the Green Fields were run on hybrid renewables (solar and/or wind) and battery systems.

Over the last 40 years, we have worked hard to extend this fossil fuel-free standard across the entire event, and since 2023, Glastonbury Festival has been powered entirely by sustainable renewable, virgin palm oil-free HVO fuel (made from bio-waste materials) and renewable energy – either from lower impact, fossil fuel-free electricity or run on solar photovoltaic and battery hybrid systems – with no reliance on diesel or any other fossil fuel for power anywhere on site at Glastonbury.

Clean energy from Worthy Farm's 250kWp solar PV array, as well as our anaerobic digester and 125kVA biogas plant power, provide energy for Festival offices and some production areas as well as helping to charge some battery systems. While a temporary 300kWh wind turbine powers food stalls in the Carhenge market area during the Festival.

As well as these efforts, we continue to work hard to encourage our Festival-goers to consider their environmental footprint and use public transport to travel to Glastonbury. Each year, over 65,000 people choose to arrive by coach, train or bicycle, dramatically reducing the potential carbon footprint from transport. In 2024, we introduced a travel carbon calculator to help illustrate the impact different modes of transport – and occupancy – have on carbon emissions, as a way of further inspiring sustainable travel choices both for travel to and from the Festival, and hopefully beyond it.

Decarbonisation continues to remain a priority for Glastonbury Festival. As part of the Festival’s commitment to further reduce CO2e emissions, the number and size of HVO-powered generators has been steadily decreasing over the years. Working closely with the Festival’s temporary power contractor and energy consultants, we have been focusing on improving generator energy efficiency as well as steadily increasing the amount of renewables and batteries used on site, which help to further reduce HVO fuel use.

Over the years, Glastonbury has also been investing in grid-connected mains power with a view to taking certain areas of the Festival off generators altogether. These upgrades and advancements to mains connectivity – which is supplied by a combination of Worthy Farm’s own on-site solar and biogas plant and a 100% renewable energy tariff – have completely removed the need for generators and fuel in various locations, and work continues to connect other areas of the site to the same renewables-powered mains grid energy.

Through this work to expand our use of renewable energy, encourage greener travel among our Festival-goers and our dedication to embracing technological innovations to help further reduce our CO2e emissions, we aim to create a Festival that is as sustainable as possible.

Waste & Recycling
In order to reduce plastic consumption, in 2019 Glastonbury banned the sale of single-use plastic bottles which has reduced the number of items of disposable plastic on site by millions. Glastonbury continues to address these issues by only allowing the sale of crisps in compostable packets, which was introduced in 2022, and banning the sale of disposable vapes in 2023.

Glastonbury Festival continues to work conscientiously to reduce non-recyclable waste and promote more sustainable alternatives. Only compostable or reusable plates, cutlery and drinking straws are allowed to be used as serveware and all cutlery used by market stalls must be made from FSC-assured wood. Reusable cutlery, plates and cups are used in crew catering wherever possible.

Traders who use charcoal to cook with must ensure it comes from a sustainable source which means all charcoal packaging must show that it is a British Product or, if imported, that the charcoal is certified by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council). In addition charcoal packaging must be fully compostable – plastic sacks/bags are not permitted.

The Festival prioritises the use of local, trusted suppliers, sourcing materials from renewable sources, reducing the use of new materials and aims to avoid waste through reuse and recycling wherever possible.

Our own onsite recycling plant is the country’s largest events-run facility and ensures we can hand-separate our own waste for single stream recycling. Our 1,200 eco-friendly compost toilets onsite produce tonnes of rich horticultural compost every year. And Glastonbury Festival’s famous long drop toilets use no compromising chemicals, so waste can be easily treated at regular sewage works.

Strong communications onsite and across the Festival’s website and social channels encourage waste-awareness and promote the message “Love the Farm, Leave No Trace”. Over the last few years we have seen a dramatic reduction in the amount of camping equipment left behind with over 98% of tents taken home from the last three events.

Water & Biodiversity
Based in rural Somerset, the Glastonbury site has set aside reserves and protected areas across the Festival to help ensure that habitats and wildlife are looked after. To support and enhance the local environment and encourage habitat diversity, nine new ponds have been dug across the Festival site since July 2024. Our on-going tree-planting initiatives have seen over 35,000 native trees and hedge plants planted across Festival land since 2000 – with over 700 trees and 6,000 hedges laid in the ground since the 2024 event. The Festival also monitor the health of local ecology and control the risk of damage to local ecosystems. During the Festival and after it, teams of litter pickers hand-collect litter before the land is returned to farming use.

All our water is from our mains water supply from Bristol Water, and is the same quality as tap water at home. We encourage all Festival-goers to bring a reusable water bottle and refill for free at more than 800 water points across the site. Auto shut-off fixtures on taps help to reduce water wastage.

During the Festival and in the weeks that follow, we carry out continuous monitoring of the water in the rivers and streams that run through the site to ensure that the water quality remains high for the welfare of local wildlife. Peeing on the land is forbidden and teams of Love The Farm stewards patrol the Festival site to encourage the use of over 700 meters of urinals, 2,000 longdrop toilets and 1,200 compost loos.

Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Equality, diversity and inclusion have been central to the ethos of the Festival since the start. Through the Worthy Pledge – which all ticket-holders and staff agree to uphold – all those who work for or come to Glastonbury Festival are expected to ‘treat the fields and the people in them with kindness and respect’. Discrimination on the grounds of heritage, religion, disability, sexual orientation, gender or gender identity is not tolerated.

Our onsite Access team and facilities cater to all needs and include DeafZone services and BSL translators for D/deaf ticket-holders, accessibility PAs, viewing platforms, shortcut routes for wheelchair users, sensory zones, Worthy Rest hubs, accessible toilets and a dedicated campsite/campervan field, to support those with additional requirements.

In 2024 we had the pleasure of launching our Fully Funded Volunteer Scheme. The initiative, funded by the Festival’s official tea partner, Clipper, aimed at providing opportunities to volunteer at the Festival for people who would not typically have access to it otherwise due to social, cultural, financial and accessibility barriers.
 
The scheme – which sits alongside the Festival’s existing ED&I projects – covered all costs for the volunteers and ensured a structured programme with welfare and wellbeing provision, role-based training and dedicated support staff for 100 volunteers working with ten different organisations ranging from Plan UK and the Young Women’s Trust, Safe Passage, Empire Fighting Chance and Black British Book Festival. For 2025, the scheme is set to expand to include 150 volunteers. To read more, please click here.

Other Equality, Diversity & Inclusion initiatives include bias awareness training for all staff, a bespoke Area Organisers group focussed on Equality, Diversity & Inclusion, and a ring-fenced £125k fund for Equality, Diversity & Inclusion projects ranging from work with traveller communities, black and minority youth groups, female, non-binary and transgender people and those from a low socio-economic background.

These initiatives include a Black2Nature visit – helping to connect Visibly Minority Ethnic (VME) families and children with the natural world; Festival Lab work experience initiatives; Green Fields work opportunities for ethnic minority applicants and other projects which help to change festival culture, create work opportunities for collectives and individuals and build bridges between those who would not be able to, or have not had access to working at festivals previously.

Onsite, there are areas dedicated to celebrating and supporting communities such as Sistxrhood in Shangri-la and Atchin-Tan. Areas of the Festival also work with organisations such as Blkbrd Collective, a group of artists / educators with lived experience of migration; Trans Pride, representing the intersectional trans community; and Drag Syndrome, a performance artist collective with Down Syndrome, to help give diverse, marginal groups a mainstream voice.

We recognise that we are at the beginning of an ongoing journey and we continue to learn and develop year on year. We have a dedicated team that work on supporting the Equality, Diversity & Inclusion projects and providing advice on each step of the process.

Fairtrade
Over the years Glastonbury has supported and promoted sustainability across the site. We have encouraged our suppliers to obtain their own sustainable accreditation such as Fairtrade and Fairwear and take this into consideration in our procurement process. Our Wholesalers and Traders are assessed on their commitment to their own sustainability and we prioritise those who are able to demonstrate this commitment by obtaining certification such as Fairtrade, Red Tractor, RSPCA Freedom Food, MSC (Fish). Fairwear, GOTS, OCS and RJC (jewellery) and BCorp. We also prioritise local produce and products. All coffee, tea, sugar, drinking chocolate and cotton sold on site and in our official website store is Fairtrade Certified.

Engagement
Environmental activism and support for humanitarian causes have always been intrinsic to Glastonbury Festival. From our endorsement of CND in the 1980s and support for the traveller community during that decade, we have used our influence and worked to engage the wider public in causes we believe in, helping to promote an ecologically conscious, culturally rich and inclusive world both at Glastonbury Festival and beyond our gates.

Charities, fundraising & positive impact

Supporting causes close to our heart is fundamental to Glastonbury Festival and we are delighted that in 2024, we have been able to help fund a range of inspiring initiatives, making payments of over £5.9m to charitable causes and campaigns: £4.3m in the form of donations, including a donation of £2m to the NHS Somerset Charity to fund a range of projects including a dedicated specialist cancer and investigation suite in Taunton, and further donations totalling £126k to support NHS hospitals in Bristol and nursing staff across the UK, while another £1.6m was given as payments for services such as stewarding. 

In addition to this, we’d like to thank everyone who contributed to our Emergency Fundraiser Crowdfunder appeal which also supported people in conflict. The Crowdfunder prize-draw raised £639k which the Festival matched, bringing the total to over £1.27m to fund the work of the British Red Cross, Oxfam and War Child, delivering humanitarian aid to those in need.

As well as our continued support for our incredible Joint Charity partners – Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace – we have been able to help many other projects and organisations both in the UK and overseas. 

We’d like to thank all our Festival-goers, crew and volunteers, without whom it wouldn’t have been possible to make these donations and support these good causes. Please click here to find out about some of the great charities and organisations we are proud to have been able to help in 2024.

To read Glastonbury Festival’s 2023 Economic Impact Summary, please click here.

With our history firmly rooted in activism and our profound connection with our rural heritage, all of us at Glastonbury Festival are passionately committed to creating a cleaner, more fair, sustainable future for all.

Here are a few things we're proud to have achieved on our journey so far. We will continue to embrace new, innovative technology to help us further reduce our impact on our environment and hope we can also inspire more sustainable changes in the world we live in.

Here's how you can help us to protect our environment and the future of the Festival.

• Please use the toilets provided. Peeing on the land or in the rivers contaminates the local water supply, killing wildlife and seriously compromises the future of the Festival.
• Please use our recycling bins. It is not okay to drop litter on the ground. Help us by placing your waste into the correct recycling bins.
• Please only use what you need. If every Festival-goer used four napkins instead of one, there would be an extra 450,000 napkins wasted unnecessarily.
• Take your tent and equipment home with you. Nothing should be considered disposable so please only bring equipment that is built to last.
• Please use public transport, cycle or car-share to Glastonbury Festival. Car emissions are still the greatest contributor to global climate change. Join the 65,000 Festival-goers that travel to the Festival by public transport and help to reduce our carbon footprint.
• Please bring a reusable water bottle. These can be filled for free at all of our taps and WaterAid kiosks across the Festival site.
• Please do not bring environmentally damaging items such as disposable vapes, wipes or body glitter – even biodegradable wipes and body glitter will not properly breakdown without being heat-treated.
• Please use water responsibly. Turn off taps and help us use water efficiently.
• Please do not bring in glass or other prohibited items such as paper lanterns. They cause fires and harm the cattle that live on the land.

Beyond the farm

Our commitment to protect our environment – to use its resources responsibly and to reduce our ecological footprint – also extends beyond the physical boundaries of the Festival. Over the last few decades, we’ve donated millions of pounds to our partners at Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid, who all do invaluable work to meet the urgent needs of our planet. Those donations wouldn’t be possible without all of you who buy our tickets, and the support of the thousands of volunteers who give their time to these good causes at the Festival.

Please take a moment to read through our energy, waste and ecological policies below and learn how we are working towards a more sustainable future, and the vital role you can play in helping us to achieve that.

Love the Farm, leave no trace.

Waste policy

‘Love the Farm, leave no trace’, is central to Glastonbury Festival’s philosophy. We are passionate about reducing rubbish sent to landfill and ask Festival-goers to bring only what they need and leave nothing behind. With over 200,000 people on the land during the Festival, it’s very important to minimise the enormous impact this makeshift city has on the countryside on which it stands.

Since 2019,  over 98% of all tents have been taken home after each Festival. We are very grateful to our Festival-goers for their continuing respect for the land.

Our work so far:

Waste prevention and recycling.

• Our own on-site recycling plant is the country’s largest events-run facility and ensures we can hand-separate our own waste for single stream recycling.
• From 2019, single-use plastic drinks bottles have not been available to purchase at Glastonbury Festival. Single-use plastic drinks bottles are also no longer supplied or available in any of the Festival’s backstage, production, catering and dressing room areas.
• In a determined drive to reduce non-recyclable waste and promote more sustainable alternatives, the sale of disposable vapes are also banned on-site; and all crisps are sold in compostable packaging.
• We only allow compostable or reusable plates and cutlery – including drinking straws. All cutlery used by market stalls must be made from FSC-assured wood.
• Disposable single-serving sachets, like those used for sauces or sugar, are not supplied or available anywhere on-site.
• All cans, glass, paper, wood and organic waste collected from the Festival’s 15,000 bins are hand-separated and processed at our on-site recycling facility.
• In 2019 Glastonbury Festival recycled over 68 tonnes of paper and card, 38 tonnes of glass, 57 tonnes of cans, 17 tonnes of plastic bottles and turned 14,000 litres of cooking oil into biofuel.
• All bags used to collect compostable food waste are made of compostable cornstarch and processed into compost.
• In 2019 149 tonnes of food waste were turned into compost.
• We have a 1,300-strong army of recycling volunteers who contribute hugely to the clean-up of the Festival site. Without them we wouldn’t be able to achieve our current rate of recycling.
• Since 2014, over 100,000 reusable stainless steel and 9,000 aluminium water bottles have been sold as an alternative to single-use plastic bottles. These were refillable at taps and WaterAid kiosks across site.
• All the bin bags used to collect recycling and general waste are made of recycled plastic which will again be recycled into more bin bags.

Sewage waste.

• There are over 1,200 eco-friendly compost toilets on site which yield over 500 tonnes of horticultural compost every year.
• Glastonbury Festival’s long drop toilets use no chemicals so waste can be treated easily at local sewage works.

What you can do:

Around half of all waste created by Glastonbury Festival is reused or recycled. But with help from you we can do even better.

• Please bring a reusable water bottle. These can be filled for free at our taps and WaterAid kiosks across the Festival site.
• Please only use what you need. If every Festival-goer used four napkins instead of one, there would be an extra 450,000 napkins wasted unnecessarily.
• Please use our recycling bins. It is not okay to drop litter on the ground. Help us by placing your waste into the correct recycling bins.
• Take your tent and equipment home with you. Nothing should be considered disposable so please only bring equipment that is built to last.
• Please avoid using disposable wipes. Even biodegradable wipes, which quickly breakdown into micro-plastics, are problematic environmental pollutants.

Energy policy

Global climate change continues to present the biggest threat to our planet. Here at Glastonbury Festival we are committed to reducing greenhouse emissions and using clean energy sources whenever possible. Please read on to learn more about our work to lower our carbon footprint.

Our work so far:

Incentivising green travel.

• To encourage Festival-goers to arrive by bus, our combined Festival and coach ticket packages are available to buy before standard entry tickets.
• Our sustainable travel-initiatives have helped over hundreds of thousands of ticket-holders travel to the Festival by bike or public transport. Each year, more than 40,000 ticket-holders take advantage of these for their Festival travel.
• We run regular free shuttle buses to and from Castle Cary railway station throughout the Festival.

Prioritising clean energy.

• Since 2023 all of Glastonbury Festival’s power needs have be met by renewable energy and renewable fuels.
• All generators across the Festival site – including those that power the Pyramid Stage – run on sustainable, renewable palm oil-free HVO fuel, made from waste cooking oil, helping to reduce lifecycle CO2e emissions by up to 90 percent.
• All production areas are either powered by lower impact, fossil-fuel free electricity or run on solar PV and battery hybrid systems.
• A temporary wind turbine, installed alongside a solar panel and battery system, produces up to 300kWh of energy per day and powers food stalls in Williams Green.
• Clean energy from the Festival’s own 250kWp solar PV array, as well as our anaerobic digester and 125kVA biogas plant power, provide energy for Festival offices and some production areas as well as helping to charge some battery systems.
• In order to reduce our on-site emissions, a small fleet of electric vehicles are used to transport artists around the site to their performances.
• In 2010 Worthy Farm installed 1500 square meters of solar panels on the roof of the cattle shed. At the time, the 1,316 roof-mounted solar panels made this one of the largest privately owned solar photovoltaic systems in the country.
• Since their inception in 1984, The Green Fields – including the 1000-capacity Croissant Neuf stage – have continued to be run on renewable solar, wind and pedal power.
• In late 2018, Worthy Farm installed a new anaerobic digester. The anaerobic digester transforms farm waste into renewable energy that powers Worthy Farm and Festival offices year round as well as some production areas during the Festival.
• Where possible, battery systems are deployed and charged directly by these onsite farm renewables through the mains power grid or via temporary solar power systems. All mains power onsite is supplied from fully certified renewable energy sources.
• Glastonbury Festival offices on Worthy Farm are heated by a ground source heat pump.
• 185 low energy led tower lights are used on site.
• Decarbonisation remains a driving priority for Glastonbury Festival. We are continuing to invest in our existing on site renewables – such as our solar PV array and biogas plant – and upgrade our infrastructure to increase our connectivity to the national grid, where all our electricity is supplied by a combination of Worthy Farm’s own on site solar and biogas plant supplemented by a 100 percent traceable, renewable energy tariff.

Improving infrastructure to cut down on transport emissions.

• There is an on-site Wholesale Market to reduce food miles and cut down on delivery vehicles.
• With 2 million litres of water stored in its reservoirs and 7km of on-site private water mains, Glastonbury Festival’s water needs can be met through its own mains water supply and no water needs to be transported to the Festival by tanker.

What you can do:

With your help we can do even more to bring down our greenhouse gas emissions. With over 200,000 people at the Festival, these are small steps that bring us closer to a greener, cleaner world.

• Please use public transport, cycle or car-share to Glastonbury Festival. Car exhaust is the greatest contributor to the Festival’s greenhouse gases. By car-sharing, or better still, using public transport or cycling to the Festival, we can hugely reduce the amount of pollution produced.
• Save energy at home. While you’re at Glastonbury Festival, unplug your telly and other non-essential appliances and switch off unnecessary lights. Please also consider using LED light bulbs and switching to an energy supplier that commits to clean, renewable energy sources.

Ecological Policy

At Glastonbury Festival we are passionate about improving the world we live in. We want to make the Festival as sustainable as we can and aim to be frugal with resources, minimise our impact on our environment and commit towards improving the wellbeing and welfare of all who work at and come to enjoy the Festival.

Our work so far:

Care of our environment.

• Drinking water in our reservoirs is heavily monitored and quality-tested twice a day during the Festival and in its preceding weeks.
• During the Festival and in the weeks that follow, Glastonbury Festival carries out continuous monitoring of the water in the rivers and watercourses that run through the site to ensure that the water quality remains high for the welfare of local wildlife.
• The Festival monitor the health of local ecology year-round, and control the risk of damage to local ecosystems.
• Teams of litter pickers work throughout the Festival and afterwards, hand-collecting litter.
• Since 2000, Glastonbury Festival has planted over 10,000 native trees and hedge plants to support and enhance the local environment.
• Glastonbury works hard to protect vulnerable habitats, ponds, streams, hedges and ditches, by creating nature reserves and non-public zones.

Promotion of sustainable practices.

• The Festival only uses Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or appropriately certified building timber. At the end of its use, unusable wood is chipped and used around the farm.
• All coffee, tea and drinking chocolate sold on site must be Fair Trade, and sugar must be either Fair Trade or British.
• Fish must be Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certified.
• Charcoal and wood must be British or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified.
• All milk sold through traders at Glastonbury Festival must be purchased from the on-site wholesale milk supplier to reduce transport miles.
• All food service disposables/serve ware – including straws and hot drink lids – must be made from paper, card, wood or leaves and be fully compostable.
• Traders are not permitted to bring or use single-use sachets of sugar, sauces, salt, pepper or milk pods.
• All official Glastonbury Festival bags are 100% organic, unbleached natural cotton, printed with Azo Free water based inks.
• Our official Glastonbury Festival T-shirts are 100% organic cotton, certified by GOTS.
•  The dyes used in the manufacture of the T-shirts are all reactive dyes, which are the kindest to the environment for use in commercial garment manufacturing.

What you can do:

• Please use the toilets provided. Urinating on the land or in the rivers contaminates the local water supply, killing wildlife and seriously compromises the future of the festival.
• Please use our waste and recycling bins. It is not okay to drop litter on the ground. Help us look after our environment by placing your waste into the correct recycling bins.
• Please dispose of cigarette butts responsibly. If they are thrown on the land, they leach chemicals into the soil and local water supplies.
• For campfires, please only burn the wood provided. Do not take wood from the trees and hedges. Not only will green wood not burn well, but taking it disrupts habitats.
• Please use water responsibly. Turn off taps and help us use water efficiently.
• Please do not bring environmentally damaging items such as disposable vapes, wipes or body glitter. Even biodegradable wipes and body glitter will not properly breakdown without being heat-treated.

Peeing on the ground causes toxic pollution of the water table. The ground water runs into the central Whitelake River and down the valley for miles around. Wildlife and fish are affected if 200,000 people pee everywhere.

The Environment Agency tests the water regularly, and has the power to close down the site if too many people have urinated and polluted the site. It really could be the end of Glastonbury if you pee where you shouldn’t. Please only pee in our thousands of toilets and urinals.

Compost Loos

We have over 1,200 compost toilets across the site, which after a year turns into wonderful compost which is brought back onto the farm and used in the Permaculture area and Peace garden. A compost toilet is a water free system that is best for the environment.

There are thousands of toilets on site, and we urge you to use them. Environmental health students check the toilets twice a day and cleaners and other staff are on hand, 24/7, to help keep them functional.

In a concerted effort to make Glastonbury Festival more sustainable and to help Festival-goers consider their use of single use plastics, plastic drinks bottles will not be available at Glastonbury Festival  2025. Instead we recommend Festival-goers use a reusable water bottle. Water bottles can be refilled for free at every water tap and at the many WaterAid Water Bars throughout the Festival site.

We have a mains water supply from Bristol Water that is the same quality as your domestic supply at home. Refilling a reusable water bottle makes a huge difference to the volume of plastic bottle waste.

As part of our our Love Worthy Farm, Leave No Trace campaign we are trying to raise awareness of the terrible state that Worthy Farm is left in when everyone goes home after the Festival. Abandoned camping equipment and rubbish blight the beautiful green pastures of the farm. It really is very sad.

Please do your bit when you leave, take all your camping gear home and put all your rubbish in the bin bags provided by your campsite stewards. Even just five minutes of effort from each person at the Festival would make a HUGE difference.

TAKE YOUR TENTS AND ALL YOUR CAMPING EQUIPMENT HOME

Thousands of tents and abandoned camping equipment like airbeds, roll mats, chairs, blankets and gazebos are left after each festival. Think responsibly when you are packing your bags to come to Glastonbury, don’t bring items that you won’t be able to take back home again.

REMOVE TENT PEGS

Please remove all your tent pegs from the ground. It is really important not to leave any behind because they get imbedded in the ground and when the fields get rotavated, the metal pegs get chopped-up into small pieces, and if the cows eat them they could die.

LIMIT WHAT YOU BRING, AND CLEAN UP BEHIND YOU

Remember that you have the energy to do multiple trips back to your car on the Wednesday when you are feeling fresh but come the Monday morning after 5 days of partying and having fun energy levels are very low.

PUT ALL RUBBISH INTO BINS AND BIN-BAGS

There are now 15,000 very well signposted and beautifully painted bins (colour-coded for recycled and other rubbish) virtually everywhere on site for your rubbish. As you enter the site, stewards will hand you a green bag for recyclables and a clear bag for general waste – please help us look after the land by correctly filling them up as you go!

Here at Glastonbury Festival, we believe in the power of the individual to ignite hope, spark joy and trigger an avalanche of positive action. 

Our new Power Of One campaign for Glastonbury 2025 aims to harness this hope by highlighting the amplified impact of a few easy personal choices and their potential to bring about a better tomorrow. Small actions taken by one – when echoed by others – can have an exponential effect powerful enough to drive societal change. All it takes is just one step in the right direction.

Here are a few examples of how some small changes we can make, ahead of the Festival and while we are here, can have a powerful ripple-inducing impact if all ticket-holders join in.

• By switching off your non-essential electrical appliances before the Festival, you can help save up to 1kg of CO2e across five days. This action, when echoed by every household at the Festival, could help save enough energy to power nearly 100 UK homes for an entire year.
• By refilling your reusable bottles once daily at the Festival, compared to buying single-use plastic bottles, together we can help save the CO2e equivalent of driving a diesel car 485,000 miles or around the world nearly 20 times!
• Based on average car use, by not driving over 5 days while at the Festival, you can individually avoid over 32kgs of CO2e; it would take three mature trees one year to absorb this amount of carbon.
• We are grateful that on average 98% of tents were taken home from every Glastonbury since 2019, avoiding hundreds of tonnes of waste each year.
• Remember your Worthy Pledge: treat each other with kindness and respect. 63% of UK adults say their mental health is improved when kindness is shown to them - and also when they are kind to others.
• If you can, switch your home energy tariff to renewable sources and drive investment into green energy, shifting the UK away from fossil fuels and towards a more sustainable future.
