Glastonbury Festival is over and the hangover has descended as the colossal task of cleaning giant mounds of rubbish begins.
The pop-up city of over 200,000 at Worthy Farm will be transformed back into a dairy farm as the stages, fun fair rides and bars are disassembled. Cleaners have the unenviable job of clearing over-flowing bins, big items such as camping chairs and blow-up mattresses, as well as slippers, flip-flops and shopping bags.
They will also have to deal with the mountain of empty cans, drug paraphilia and discarded food packaging. At least they won’t have to do it all again next year as the festival enters a fallow year to give the ground time to recover before the next event takes place in 2027.
Organiser Emily Eavis told the on-site newspaper, Glastonbury Free Press, she had a “huge list of things” to improve the festival ahead of its next iteration. She said: “We’re always looking to make it better.
“The detail is critical. Even just a small touch – like putting a new hedge in – can make a real difference. And that’s what fallow years are for: you lay the ground to rest and you come back stronger.”
