Three Cows in a Pile

With only a couple of days left before Glasto gets underway, the Festival site is a hive of activity.

Security at the site is tight, and there are people on the roads going into Pilton, manning the entrances to the various car parks.

There's a definite buzz at Worthy Farm, and with all the areas clearly marked out now, there's lots of energy and anticipation about the big event.

Delivery trucks, vans, and tractors are everywhere as the final preparations are being made. The all-important food stalls are being set up, along with the market stalls and, of course, the beer tents!


The Pyramid Stage, the Other Stage, and the Jazz World Stage all have their covers on now, and the final bits of work are being done.


The beautiful brightly coloured signs welcoming people to the different areas of the Festival have been made, and are now in place.


Bin-painting is still going on, as is rubbish-clearing and litter-picking. The metal pathways have now been laid too.



The wooden griffen, constructed by chainsaw sculpture team the Tree Pirates, is now finished in the King's Meadow. There's a peace garden being created in the King's Meadow as well, for people to chill-out in.

A sculpture called 3 Cows in a Pile is in place now. It's in the Green Fields and is designed and created by John Kelly. Made from bronze, the sculpture weighs six tons, and measures seven metres long, and six metres high.


The tents in the new Dance Village have gone up now, complete with the Glasto flags!

Sculptor Aragorn Horner was hard at work on his interactive space pod, which will be situated in the Dance Village. Make sure you check it out at night - it lights up and everything!


It's hard to believe the transformation that takes place at Worthy Farm, from it's life as an ordinary dairy farm, to the home of Glastonbury Festival.


But, with a lot of hard work, transform it does, just in time for the gates opening to thousands of Festival-goers tomorrow
