Glastonbury Festival might only happen for three days a year but for the villagers of Pilton, a sleepy Somerset rural community, it becomes the centre of attention for
200,000 people and the world's media.
Although police, Mendip District Council and Glastonbury Festivals Ltd work throughout the year to ensure the festival runs as smoothly as possible,
the impact on the local community should not be under estimated.
We will do everything possible to ensure they are disturbed as little as possible and would ask festival goers to do the same.
A tri-partite, (police, Mendip and GFL), office operates in Pilton throughout the festival for local people to speak to officers with any concerns
or worries they might have.
There is also a dedicated off-site plan which sees police and security working together to ensure festivalites get onto and away from Worthy Farm successfully.
Information for local people will also be placed on the Pilton website
which is well read by villagers.
If you are planning to come to Pilton without a ticket – the advice from all concerned is DO NOT.
There will be no places for you to stop on or near the village and if you are trying to camp on roadside verges or near people's homes you will be moved
out of the area.
Policing doesn't start and stop in Pilton.
Officers and security staff will be patrolling on all of the main routes to the site so that all festival goers have as safe a trip as possible.
