Glastonbury Festival is making its much-anticipated return this week after a three year delay.
Like many big events, the iconic music festival was cancelled during the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic. Now, it's back with a bang to celebrate its 50th year, with the gates to the Worthy Farm site opening tomorrow, Wednesday, June 22.
Glastonbury Festival is a phenomenally popular music event, with global acts descending on the Somerset countryside to entertain the masses. It boasts a capacity of more than 200,000.

There's silent disco screenings, parties, fortune telling, traditional Punch and Judy shows, bingo, stunt performers, vintage arcade games, comedy, rides and more. Those keen to indulge in a variety of food and drink will be spoilt for choice by the variety of stalls to peruse and purchase from.
