It is visited by over 130,000 people every year, who join in the three-day long party to commemorate the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.

Glastonbury Festival has been held on Worthy Farm in Somerset since 1970, and there has never been a dull moment! This year, all sorts of singers and bands were there, from the likes of Beyoncé, Jessie J, to my favourite – Paolo Nutini, who I really wish I could have met!

We drove straight in to one of the muddiest Glastonburys ever! We tramped back and forth to our camp site carrying camping gear and enough clothes for a weekend of extreme weather conditions and spent an hour or so putting up and filling the tent. The second we got inside, it began to rain and it didn’t stop raining for the rest of the day.

We sat in the tent waiting for it to stop, and after a couple of hours we realised that it wouldn’t. When the need for food became too strong we put on wellies and raincoats and left the sanctuary of the tent and made our way across the many muddy fields.

There is something for everyone at the festival – my favourite place is the Circus Field, which is full of interactive performances. Also, I love the Kidz Field, where famous CBBC stars perform, and where you can get your face painted then run around on a massive climbing frame, with tunnels, slides and dragons!
