PEOPLE hoping to get a small dose of Glastonbury Festival are being asked to stay away from the site.

The popular West Country music festival announced it would not be taking place this year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, on what was set to be its 50th year.

But since this announcement, an increasing number of people have been attempting to visit the iconic festival site.

Visitors to Glastonbury are being asked to stay away from the festival site, as there are people who continue to work on the site who could be put at risk.

Anyone spotted attempting to access the site will be asked to leave.

An update on the festival's official website 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. Those who do attempt to access the site will be asked to leave."

Instead walkers could visit nearby Glastonbury Tor, owned by The National Trust, to fulfill their needs.
