Glastonbury bosses urge people to stop visiting festival site

Glastonbury Festival bosses have warned fans not to visit Worthy Farm after "increasing numbers of visitors" attempted to access the site.

The privately-owned land and Pilton fields are home to hundreds of dairy cows which graze on the grass.

And a number of people also live in the area and do not appreciate the trespassers.

Organisers were hoping to celebrate the event's 50th anniversary in June, when Taylor Swift, Sir Paul McCartney and Kendrick Lamar were set to headline.

But bosses were forced to cancel this year's festival due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A spokesman for the event said: "Worthy Farm and its surrounding farms are private property and, given the current circumstances, the land used by Glastonbury Festival is closed to the public.

"Despite this, we have seen increasing numbers of visitors attempting to access the site used by the Festival.

"For the sake of those who continue to work and live on the site, we would ask that you please do not consider visiting.
