No, if you need to sit down I recommend taking your own lightweight camping chairs. It's a working farm the remainder of the year so mainly fields with tracks for vehicles.

GF can be a serious test of stamina. As advised by @StoneCircle, there is no seating and taking your own folding chair is advised if you wish to sit between artist sets. Additionally, the site is vast and during the course of each day a serious amount of walking is necessary.

I have struggled with my mobility over the last couple of years with arthritis in my hips so 2022 I was using a stick and took a folding stool which was helpful. There is some limited stone bench-seating at the edges of pyramid and some areas of the site near food and drink places. Or you can sit on the ground with a blanket- more difficult if it’s muddy or wet though. You can take fold up  chairs anywhere and a lot of people do but not allowed inside tented stages - best to sit further back obviously if at the main stages as it’s too busy to sit nearer the front. Lots of places to just sit and chill though if you get tired and have a chair with you. Most of the food places and bars also have seated areas. 
be prepared to walk a lot though - the site is 8 miles round and can take an hour or more to walk across- with my stick I averaged 8-10km a day which was lower than previously- at about 15km a day and not being particularly fit. It’s a huge site with many different areas. If you have specific disabilities then you can contact the accessibility team as there are accessible platforms with seats for those who are eligible.

When you say you "want to go" that sounds quite speculative, as opposed to planned. 

Just checking that you're asking about Glastonbury and have you as yet either registered or purchased tickets?

Some of the areas, like the Acoustic, don't allow seating past a certain point as you get closer to the stage. And I remember them putting out an announcement last year on the Pyramid Stage for people to stand and pick up their blankets/chairs. Was that for the Churnups or Elton? Can't remember now.

You can opt for portable seating, such as a foldable chair or cushion that you can take with you to provide extra comfort and support when needed.
