West Country Glastonbury Festival

The next Glastonbury Festival will be taking place from the 26th to the 30th of June 2019, festival organisers have confirmed.

The Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts will be held at the Worthy Farm, Pilton in Somerset.

The team confirmed in 2016 that they would be taking a fallow year next year, meaning the festival would not be happening in 2018, "in order to give the farm, the village and the Festival team the traditional year off".

A woman who was sexually assaulted in the run up to Glastonbury has thanked organisers for their sensitivity and kindness which meant she was able to attend - and enjoy - the festival.

The woman had asked for a refund but the team at Worthy Farm went out of their way to make sure she could attend the festival and was safe.

She has written a powerful open letter to say thank you, describing her whole experience.

A police officer at Glastonbury Festival has returned a person's abandoned ticket so they can keep it as a "souvenir".

They posted the ticket to Anna Colbourn after finding it discarded near the Pyramid Stage. They wrote she hoped she had "an awesome festival."

A man was arrested during the Glastonbury 2017 weekend on suspicion of fraud.

He was found to be selling fake festival wristbands at Castle Cary station in Somerset.

The event attracts around 175,000 visitors during the 5 day event

This year’s Glastonbury Festival had one of the lowest levels of crime.

Avon and Somerset Police's current figures show that reported crime is likely to be as low as last year, which had the smallest amount of crime at any previous festival.
