Isn't the Other Stage also set up at Reading as the main stage? Would explain why they've only just taken it down. It probably gets transported straight to Reading when it's lowered and packed away.

It's the same base model of stage as used at Reading (and Leeds) as their Main Stage, but it'll be more complicated than "just" being the same physical stage. Like most of the Serious Stages range, it's a modular system, from which they're able to create several instances of stage with the precise configuration varying by need.

Looks like they are about to start to undress the pyramid.

It’s a glorious moment. The land never belonged to the festival. We borrowed it and now it’s being returned to the rightful owners. I’ve no idea why anyone considered this ‘sad’. It’s a return to nature.

I sometimes wonder to what extent the dairy farm is still active.  When I first went to glastonbury in the late 90s the fields were liberally scattered with bin lid sized dry cow pats.

It's still very active, and has won awards in recent years. They just clean the fields more than they used to ahead of the festival.

They’ve taught the cows to use the long drops, that explains the absence of pats, and they don’t leave empty cider cans either😉😊

I think they have to be removed from the fields for a length of time before the festival so the cow pats decompose.

not the time to say Emily / Michael and team need a Pat on the back for the cleanup operation then ?

All that (bang average) Worthy Farm cheddar is made from milk extracted from the Pyramid stage cows.

Do they?  I thought they just stayed at the Pyramid all the time... like the Sunday 'lawn chair' people! 🙂 

 

I remember Other stage and Pennards Hill being used for wheat/grains before.

If they wandered into the SE corner the cheese could be sold in tenner bags 😉😊

I never thought that cheese was any good (I thought it was horrible, in fact) until I bought a block recently for the last cheese competition and made some cheese on toast with it rather than just throw it in the garden for the fox that visits every night. It was really good toasted!

Has anyone seen a super hi definition picture from above from this year?
