2007 saw the launch of The Park, a new performance area organised by Emily Eavis: home to live music stages, late night bars and cafes, Tipi villages, art installations, stonemasons and craftsmen. At its summit, the Eastern-inspired Ribbon Tower is illuminated from within and stands a full fifty feet tall providing a free panoramic view and map to the entire site, day and night throughout the festival. This year the Tower sits higher and the land behind rolls back further to provide a grandstand of green space to wander, sit back and look out over the Giant Meadow and Glass House below.
