we're off to Glastonbury Festival!

eFestivals is locking up the office for the week as we make our way to Glastonbury Festival to enjoy five days of festival fun in Pilton.

Having kept you up to date with news stories and articles on festivals throughout the shorter, colder days, it's time for us to decamp to the fields of Pilton for five days of (hopefully) sunny festival antics.

Just like you we all have to take a little time out to enjoy life in a field for a few days and recharge our batteries whilst letting our hair down, and although the website is likely to be more quiet over the coming days, the front page will include a regular festival blog where we will be making daily updates from the Festival, which will also appear on the news pages.

Whether you are going to the Festival or not - we hope you enjoy the next few days. We'll be back next week with loads of reviews and pictures of the festival online for you to enjoy.

Remember that the Festival wants festival-goers to work them to Love the farm, Leave no Trace by travelling light, only bringing what you're willing to carry home. When you buy your tent and camping gear, don't buy the cheapest, get something you'll want to keep. when it's time to go, pack up your stuff and take it away.
