The Glastonbury Festival
The Glastonbury Festival is possibly the most popular music festival in Britain and attracts all the best bands. The popularity of Glastonbury is largely due to the ethos of its founder and organiser, a dairy farmer called Michael Eavis. Glastonbury is possibly the only major festival which is non-sponsored and privately run and Eavis gives all the profits from the festival to charity.
Eavis held the first festival on his 150-acre dairy farm in Somerset in September 1970. The following year the festival attracted over 12000 people but Eavis was unhappy because of the effects of the festival on his cows. However, he continued to organise the event and today he moves his cows off the farm during the festival weekend.
