Our Glastonbury programme

There is so much to see during the festival, you wouldn't believe it! Apart from music, you have the opportunity to view dance, theatre, comedy, poetry, movies, as well as taking part in political debates, informing yourself about the protection of the environment, gardening, about peace, and discover new delicacies from other parts of the world.

You feel like running all day from one show to the next (as much as you can run in the mud!) and at the end of the day, you realise that you have seen only half a dozen things. Compared to the 700 performances there were over 3 days, this is very little...

So, here is what we saw, although not always the entire show:
