I can't be arsed to argue.  However the Eavii's Glastonbury 50 book says of 2007: "The Green Fields featured the legendary Banksy art installation Portaloo Sunset."

Whoever fancies setting a question over to you.

Sorry for giving you a hard time.  It's a weird one where it seems to have been confidently billed with very many different names.  But it was in King's Meadow!   Anyway, here's a song about the festival, and possibly the same one as the toilets.

I reckon @parsonjack gets first refusal.

Ooh controversial.  It was definitely in King's Meadow rather than generic 'Green Fields' though.

OK....here's  a new one.  Who is this and how is he relevant to the Festival?

To be fair, last time I saw a defined map of "The Green Fields" (would have been in the programme one year), the Kings Meadow was definitely included.

So I'd say both are correct, but Kings Meadow is more specific (and definitely where it was).

I’m guessing he’s a farmer or landowner. Maybe he owns the Pyramid field?

Both men are built out of flesh, bone, blood, sweat and tears.

It was the affirdable housing scheme for the local residents to try an encourage the younger members of the community to stay within there local family networks! From what I’ve heard at work the schemes are working really well!!! The Festival puts a lot funding back into local schemes! David Beckhams son goes to the local private school! Hence the connection!!

[grumpyhack]

@funkychick2007 is spot on about what they opened.  But I'd still like to hear more precisely what they (the houses - not Beckham and Corbyn @stuartbert two hats) were built of.

Oh, it's stone dug up from Worthy Farm, in sight of the Pyramid stage.

[funkychick2007]

It’s the yellow sandstone brick I should know being a builders daughter and have a vague memory some of them were timber framed!! 

[grumpyhack]

Yep, stone quarried from the farm.  I think on balance it has to go to @funkychick2007

[funkychick2007]

@stuartbert two hats can have it!! I have no idea what randomly made me answer the question! My brain is full of random info!! Unusually this time it was useful!!

An easy one. What style and brand of cider was sold at the relatively short lived craft cider bars?

Remember that so well. I, along with just about everyone else that bothered to express an opinion agreed that it was completely shit. Honesetly, no pun intended. 

Feckin eyesore.

Definitely not that style.

Edit, oh shit, they did in later years didn't they?

I was looking for still cider, like Cheddar Valley and Big Apple, but I think they did sell the fizzy stuff too, at least in the last year.

So over to you Hacky.
