A Glastonbury local has hit out at festival-goers for pooing in their garden.

The gates for Glastonbury Festival 2023 have opened today (21 June) as the world-famous event makes its return.

This year’s festival, held on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, will see Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Sir Elton John headlining on the famous Pyramid Stage.

What's in store? Loud music, boozy campers and lots of poop, according to one local resident.

Taking to social media, the angry local said: "Please tell your festival goers to respect the local communities they drive through.

"No defecating in gardens, weeing in bus shelters, chucking rubbish everywhere & just be nice to the locals trying to get to work and school!"

In an interview with the Daily Star, they went into a little more detail, adding: "Defecating has happened to someone at church where I went to hear my son's wedding banns.

"They prayed for patience with the ‘invasion’."

By Tuesday evening, the Somerset insider's prediction came true.

"I witnessed myself yesterday a car stop in my village," they said.

"Four lads got out and went into the stone shelter and weed on the back wall while the diver sat in the car with the engine running."

The argued that 'this never happens at any other time of the year'.

"There is a local Co-Op, for instance, that opens early to cater for the Glastonbury crowds," the local said.

"They sell burgers, sausage rolls etc from a cabinet in yellow polystyrene containers.

"Drive a mile or so up the hill and you will find the containers on the roadside next to fields full of cattle and sheep.

"A general message from the organisers asking attendees to respect where they are going, not just the field they camp on would go some way to not getting on everyone’s nerves every year.

"Maybe signs in lay-bys reminding people not to litter and be respectful, or extra bins in lay-bys along the route? Not to mention the noise pollution and the eco-friendly helicopters overhead for the weekend."

LADbible has contacted Glastonbury Festival for comment.

Well, festival-goers who have been eagerly anticipating this year's event have been stuck in the queue for hours, as Nigel Hayes, 42, a kitchen fitter from London, told PA that he has been to every Glastonbury since 2002.

Mr Hayes, 'surprised' to be standing at the front of the queue, said: “We got here at 4.30am, we set off at 1.30am from London … it would be nice to set off and get a beer.”

His 40-year-old sister Joanne Hayes, who accompanied him and has been to every one since 2007, added: “We’re a bit surprised to be at the front to be fair.”
