Arrive fresh in Pilton.
Flight, train, bus or carpooling: compare the options side by side with your real dates. The idea is to arrive with a bit of battery left — you included.
GLASTONBURY
The world's biggest open-air festival, June 23 to 27, 2027 at Worthy Farm in Somerset: five days, more than 200,000 people, around a hundred stages and a highly anticipated comeback after the 2026 fallow year.
Glastonbury 2027
The Glastonbury festival.
In a nutshell.
Glastonbury 2027 takes place June 23 to 27 at Worthy Farm, the Eavis family farm in Pilton, Somerset. After a fallow year in 2026 — no festival, to let the fields regenerate — this is a particularly anticipated comeback edition. Launched in 1970, Glastonbury is the world's biggest open-air festival: more than 200,000 people, around a hundred stages from the Pyramid Stage to the alternative fields, and a fully camping site. Only the lineup remains to be announced, in early 2027.
Glastonbury isn't just a music festival: it's a pop-up city the size of a major town, with its own districts — the Pyramid Stage and the Other Stage for headliners, West Holts for world music and funk, The Park and the Green Fields for the alternative scene, Shangri-La and Block9 for electronic nights. You could spend five days there without seeing the same thing twice.
The ticket is as much earned as bought: mandatory registration weeks in advance, an online sale that's over in minutes, a deposit then the balance. Camping is included and part of the experience — you pitch your tent Wednesday and don't leave until the end. June's English weather does the rest: glorious sunshine or legendary mud, sometimes both.

A Somerset farm
Worthy Farm, the Eavis family's dairy farm. The Green Fields, the alternative and eco-focused area, has existed since the very beginning.
Anticipated comeback
After the 2026 fallow year
Glastonbury takes a year off roughly every five years to let the fields and livestock recover. 2027 is the comeback edition.

Wellies, mandatory
Late June in Somerset: anywhere from 30°C sunshine to torrential rain. Boots, a poncho and warm clothes for the night, whatever the forecast says.
Budget
Ticket £408 + stay
The ticket includes camping and all five days. Add travel, food on site and, from Europe, getting to Somerset.

Practical info.
Dates, hours, transport and lodging: what you need to know before you go.
Dates and hours
Wednesday June 23 to Sunday June 27, 2027. Gates open Wednesday morning; music on the main stages starts Friday and runs through Sunday evening.
Tickets
Full-weekend ticket at £408 (booking fee included, plus £11.25 postage per order), sold only on glastonbury.seetickets.com after registering with a photo (registration closed on 25 September). The general sale took place on Sunday 4 October 2026 at 9 am and tickets have already sold out; coach tickets sold out on 1 October. You pay a £100 deposit, then the £308 balance from 1 to 7 April 2027. A resale of cancelled or returned tickets is planned for spring 2027. No other channel is safe.
Payment
The site is gradually going cashless (bars, stands). Still bring a bit of cash. Plenty of free drinking water points.
Camping
Camping is included and not optional: everyone camps. General open-access zones, a few paid options (pre-pitched, campervan) to book separately. Arrive early Wednesday for a good spot.
Accessibility
Glastonbury has a well-regarded setup for disabled visitors (dedicated camping, platforms, internal shuttles), by application through the Accessibility team.
TransportThe site is in the Somerset countryside: train to Castle Cary, then a shuttle.
- By train
- From London Paddington, direct to Castle Cary (~1h45), then an official shuttle to the site. Extra trains are added during the festival.
- From Europe
- Flight or Eurostar to London, then train to Castle Cary. From Bristol (international airport), allow an hour by road.
- Shuttles
- The festival runs coaches from London, Bristol, Bath and other towns ('Glastonbury Festival Coach'), a bundled ticket with the pass possible — often the simplest way.
- By car
- Official car parks around the site (paid, to book), but getting in and out takes hours. Carpooling gives access to a dedicated car park.
AccommodationCamping is included and part of the festival; the alternative is staying nearby and driving in.
- The campsite
- Included in the ticket. General zones (arrive early), or more comfortable paid options (pre-pitched tents, campervan, 'boutique camping') to book separately and very far ahead.
- Around the site
- B&Bs and rentals in Somerset (Shepton Mallet, Wells, Glastonbury town): rare, expensive and snapped up, with the problem of jammed daily commutes.
- Bath or Bristol
- More hotel offering, an hour away by road — only viable with a car and by accepting the traffic.
- Budget
- If you camp, the bulk of the budget is the ticket and transport. Indoor accommodation around the site easily exceeds £200 a night during the festival.
DestinationSouthwest England is worth a few extra days around the festival.
- Next door
- Glastonbury and its abbey, the Tor and its legends, Wells and its cathedral, the Cheddar Gorge — all less than thirty minutes away.
- Further afield
- Bath (Roman baths, Georgian architecture), Bristol (street art, harbour), and the Dorset coast to the south.
- Usual weather
- 15 to 22°C in late June, very changeable: sun, showers and sometimes real rain. Nights drop to around 10°C.
