These days if you say you’re visiting Glastonbury, people immediately assume you mean the festival, the biggest music event in the world. Many visitors don’t even realise that the festival is named after a small market town in Somerset, steeped in myth and history dating back thousands of years.

So you could say that the Glastonbury spirit runs in my veins!
