Remember to bring: Bin bags, loo roll, and your mind which you're sure to lose!

Glastonbury is one of the original music festivals. First held during the long hot summer of 1970, the day after Jimi Hendrix died, it was the perfect hippie retreat. It was all about great music, groovy dancing and having a good time, all the time. The original festival was by donation of a mere £1 (under $2) which included free milk - as the festival is still held today on the site of Worthy Farm, a working dairy farm owned by Britain's hippest farmer, Michael Eavis. Despite the steep admission charges today, profits do go to good causes - in particular Greenpeace (who sponsor the main Pyramid Stage), Oxfam, Water Aid, and other humanitarian charities.
