Glastonbury has its own 'jail' to hold revellers caught breaking the law at the iconic festival.
This year's edition of the highly popular music event kicked off on Wednesday 25 June.
Despite continuing complaints about the price rises in tickets over the years, an expected 210,000 people are expected to make their way to the event over the course of the weekend.
Hosted on Worthy Farm's vast 900 acres, the event is sure to bring about some troublemakers who are up to no good.

Whether it be holding counterfeit tickets, dealing with illegal substances, or something as simple as peeing on the land, a few things could land you behind Glastonbury bars.
The 'jail' could also be a place to keep any fence-jumpers who attempt to break in without paying for a wristband.
While it is known as a 'jail' of some sort, it isn't a fully fledged building with bars, or anything like that.
People found dealing or using drugs, or doing things that have been highlighted to be prohibited can expect to be taken to the 'official holding space'.
We know, it doesn't sound as menacing as 'jail' or 'prison', but the premise is the same.
In this area, security are instructed to watch over apprehended troublemakers before being kicked out, our before being dealt with by police.
One previous attendee who was thrown in the holding area spoke to the Times about their experience there.
"The jail is a square with security fences surrounding it, a covered area for sitting and foil blankets which people were taking to sleep in," they recalled.
They added: "There was a weird mix of drug dealers, people who have been taken out of the festival for being too drunk or high, and those who had tried to break in.
"Drug dealers coming in were a spectacle, security were announcing the big dealers as they brought them in," the festival goer explained.
A different attendee remembered meeting someone in the area 'who had been scammed $4000 for a wristband', while another got his mates in, but got caught trying to squeeze through the fence.
Reports from the festival claim that organisers allow those trespassing to make a statement, before a decision is made to kick them off the premises or to call police to arrest them.
The aspect of being held behind figurative bars before your verdict is enough to scare some people straight, but some have admitted that conditions in there are better than areas on the campsite itself.
Some claimed that you could charge your phone, eat, and even drink, as festival staff look on.
