Which festival is held annually at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England?

The story behind the answer

Glastonbury Festival is held annually at Worthy Farm in Somerset, England.

Worthy Farm, near the village of Pilton, has been the festival’s principal home since the event began in 1970, apart from occasional interruptions and changes to its format. The farm is operated by Michael Eavis, who founded the festival after being inspired by the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival.

Glastonbury grew from a small counterculture gathering into one of the world’s largest and most influential music and performing-arts festivals. Its programme includes music, comedy, theatre, circus, poetry, and political discussion.

The name can cause confusion because “Glastonbury” refers both to the festival and to the nearby Somerset town. The festival site is actually at Worthy Farm near Pilton, several miles from Glastonbury town itself.
