Glastonbury Festival organizers are urging attendees to bring "robust camping gear" that can be taken home and reused after this year's event.
Around 200,000 people are expected to descend on Worthy Farm in Somerset when the five-day festival begins on June 26.
Each year, hundreds of volunteers and workers help clean up the site after the festival to return the farm to its previous state.
"I love the farm, leave no trace," organizers said.
In a statement they added: “If you are coming to Glastonbury 2024, remember to only bring sturdy camping equipment that you can bring back at home and reuse.
“By 2023, 98% of all tents have been returned home. Let's see if we can beat that this year."
Ahead of the festival, photos of the site in its current, clean state were shared on social media. < /p>Allow Instagram content?This article contains content provided by Instagram We ask for your permission before loading anything, as they may use cookies and other technologies You may wish to read
