Glastonbury Festival This is run with time clocks so the lights are only on when they are needed, contributing to the festival's green requirements. The festival takes place in South West England at Worthy Farm between the small villages of Pilton and Pylle in Somerset, six miles east of Glastonbury, overlooked by the Glastonbury Tor in the "Vale of Avalon".

The nearest town to the festival site is Shepton Mallet, three miles (5 km) north
