GLASTONBURYGlastonbury is a pretty town in the south west of England.You can see tourists in the town centre at any time of theyear because it has some famous monuments, such asGlastonbury Abbey and St John’s Church. It is a small, quiettown and it doesn’t have a cinema, a theatre, or a nightclub. However, every year in June, around 150,000 music fansarrive for ‘Glasto’, the world famous Glastonbury Festival.The festival started in 1970 and takes place at WorthyFarm, around 10 kms from the town of Glastonbury. It’s fourdays of music from some of the world’s top performers:singers like Beyoncé, and bands like U2 and Coldplay. Glastonbury is very big and you can walk around and heardifferent music in different places. Over 300 singers andbands come to play their music here so it has nearlyeverything. Rock, reggae, and rap are some of the thingsyou can hear, but there isn’t any classical music. TheGlastonbury Arts Festival is for people who like classicalmusic, but that’s in August. Glastonbury is an outdoor festival, so it’s great when theweather is good and the sun is shining. But British summersare very changeable and it sometimes rains a lot during thefestival. However, the fans aren’t worried – they sing anddance in the rain while the bands are playing. You don’tusually see sad faces or umbrellas at Glastonbury when itrains. It’s sometimes quite difficult to get tickets for theGlastonbury festival because lots of people want to go toit. If you can’t get a ticket, you can always watch it on TV oron the internet, or listen to it on the radio. 1 You can see a film at the cinema in Glastonbury. *
