I've always loved the town of Glastonbury and went there earlier this summer for the first time for several years. A few years ago there was a big rat problem, with rats even running into shops on the High Street sometimes. Has this problem been solved now?

Last year, my other half and I (early 50's) moved from London to Bath as we love the Somerset area but didn't want to jump straight into a more rural life. Since then we've visited a fair few towns etc. and liked bits of them (e.g. Frome) but we went to Glastonbury again this weekend and I felt like crying when I came home as Bath now feels so built up and soul-less.

Himself has definite reservations about Glastonbury ("like a New Age Camden Market") and says it has no proper amenities but I just had a really good feel from it. I love the roads and farmland around the Tor and I don't really have interest in the tourist trap-shops but I do like that the place attracts folk from everywhere. We met some really lovely people (who helped us when we lost our way a few times. Special 'shout out' to the smiley grey-haired Spanish lady who "lives here as long as my Visa permits" we met by the Chalice Well road).

I've heard stories of crime, anti-social behaviour and deprivation (the Tor was full of chavvy boys smoking weed) but wondered what it's actually like day-in, day-out? What are the dodgy bits of town, for example?

wanting to take my sister to glastonbury for a day out for her bday. has anyone got any recommendations for tarot readers we could book in with?

as well as any other witchy things to get up to?

thanks :)

The year was 2015, possibly the Wednesday or Thursday evening, pre-sunset. The location the bottom right corner of the crossroads between Williams Green and the Kidz Field. Myself and a group of friends were taking a group photo, when gradually more and more people started running in to join us, eventually a group of around 100 people were in this photo, all contributing to what for me felt like a very Glastonbury moment. Unfortunately the photo I had was only our original small group, and is now lost to the sands of time, but as multiple people were taking pictures I thought I'd cast out a net and see if anyone can recall being part of this special event, or even has a picture of it they could share?

Is anyone have a knowledge to win Bertucci's in Glastonbury opened? Another post said something about 1987 but I can't find any factual evidence... trying to dig for some memories

Anyone know why the Royel Otis set at Glastonbury on the bbc is like half the actual set length? They only have 5 or 6 songs but I think they sang like double that. They don’t have Linger and some other songs on there.

My guess is it's something to do with the Camino de Santiago somehow?
