Where does the festival depicted in the 2006 rockumentary "Glastonbury" take place?

The festival depicted in the 2006 rockumentary “Glastonbury” takes place in Southwest England.

More precisely, the Glastonbury Festival is held at Worthy Farm between the villages of Pilton and Pylle in Somerset. The site is about six miles east of the town of Glastonbury and lies in the Vale of Avalon, making “Southwest England” the correct regional answer while Somerset supplies the more exact location.

The event began in 1970 as the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival, organised by local farmer Michael Eavis. The first gathering attracted about 1,500 people and was inspired partly by Eavis attending an outdoor Led Zeppelin performance. Over time, the festival expanded beyond rock music to include dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and visual arts.

Readers sometimes confuse the festival’s name with its location: the main site is not in the town of Glastonbury itself. It is in nearby Pilton, on roughly 1,500 acres of farmland. The large modern event can attract around 200,000 attendees, transforming the Somerset countryside into a temporary city.
