First launched in 1970, tickets to the first Glastonbury were £1 – including free milk from the farm! Today, Glastonbury attracts over 200,000 festival-goers each year, and has grown into the world’s largest Green Fields event. But Glastonbury is more than the world’s greatest music festival; it is a space that encourages freedom, creativity, belonging and expression, inviting people to come together and participate in a mass experience unlike any other.

Produced in partnership with the AHRC as part of the Glastonbury @50: Mapping and Visualising Festival Culture project.
