Town near Glastonbury Festival preparing for festival-goers who turn up at the wrong place ‘every year’

Imagine this: you've got about three tonnes-worth of camping gear strapped to your back, enough tinnies to last you a lifetime, portable chargers coming out your ears and sporting a pair of already sweat-filled wellies only to find out you got the wrong address for the legendary Glastonbury Festival

The first festival at Worthy Farm was originally called the Pilton Pop, Folk and Blues Festival.

Unlike today's world-famous festival boasting big name line-ups, gourmet food stalls and, of course, glamping tents - the original Glasto was attended by a tiny 1,500 people, with admission at a quid which included free camping and free milk.

Not a bad offer at all.

While over 200,000 people now attend the fest, which first took place in the late summer of 1970, it's clear a few slip through the cracks.

David MacGeoch, vicar of Glastonbury, has often had to redirect lost attendees to the actual festival - located a whole nine miles east of the historic town.

The vicar continued: "Out of my window, I watch a number of parents in their cars, dropping off their youngsters laden with tents, boots and rucksacks, and as I walk down the roadside, an excitable young person will ask 'which way to the festival?'

"I should say that at the same time, their family have now driven off. With a smile on my face, I say it's nine miles that way and it's on Worthy Farm in a little village called Pilton."

MacGeoch added: "You can see the dismay on their faces. But they do cheer up when I direct them to the nearest bus stop."

Well, I wonder how many weary-eyed travellers looking to get cracking with their Glasto antics MacGeoch will have to redirect today...
