Glastonbury Festival Camping

Check before you go

• There is no festival in 2026 (fallow year); the next runs Wednesday 23 to Sunday 27 June 2027. Tickets require advance registration and sell out; bring your ticket and the original photo ID you registered with (Glastonbury Festivals, as of 2026).
• Banned items (2025 list): glass of any kind, knives, disposable vapes, gazebos, generators, sound systems and drums, sky or paper lanterns, kites, fireworks, flares, wax candles, nitrous oxide, body glitter, drones and animals other than assistance dogs. Check the 2027 list when it is published.
• Everything you bring must be carried a long way from the car park or coach station and taken home again, tent included; label bags with your name and mobile number and only pack what you can carry.
• Weather is unpredictable: pack wellies or sturdy boots, waterproofs and warm layers for cold nights as well as sun cream and a hat; deep mud and dust are both common.
• Free mains-quality water comes from 850 or more taps and bottle-filling stations; use the compost and long-drop toilets, never the ground; disposable wipes are discouraged even if labelled biodegradable.
• Fire safety: never change gas canisters inside or near tents; no barbecues, generators or candles in general camping (small raised barbecues only where permitted, 3 m from vehicles); note the numbered Fire Point nearest your pitch.
• Use the free 24-hour property lock-ups for valuables and medication; tents are easy to enter, so keep phone, cash and keys on you.
