Glastonbury festival 2015

So if you're a reader of my blog you would have noticed I went to Glastonbury this year. If you're not familiar with the festival basically it is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. This one in particular has a focus on 'being green', though it was difficult to tell if anyone attending actually cared about the environment at all. Every year there is so much rubbish just left behind, not just rubbish though, people leave perfectly good tents, chairs and other camping equipment because they are too lazy to take it home. The people who were camping near me had this amazing set up with two huge tents and just left it there. It wasn't a wet day, the tent wasn't broken, and the whole area surrounding them was overflowing with garbage. If you didn't want it couldn't you donate it to a charity?

To continue to enjoy beautiful scenes clean up after yourself!


Rant aside, I had an amazing time! Florence and the Machine was amazing! The whole place was crazy, my favorite bar was the Rabbit Hole because of it's Alice in Wonderland decorations and favorite random act was the New York Brass Band.

I went with my lovely housemate and good friend who is a vegetarian, but I was able to influence our snack purchases to be all vegan! Oreos, Fox's party rings, musli bars, corn chips, salsa, chocolate covered Belvita, dark chocolate ginger, unsalted mixed nuts, pretzels, bread, peanut butter, sesame snacks and of course juice, rum and cider. There were plenty of vegan food stalls too, so I was well fed and really happy!

I recommend Glastonbury Festival to anyone who likes music, even if you don't you will find so many things to do there without needing to go to one stage, including a circus! But if you do go to this or any festival, please bring home everything. Ticket prices and land fills increase because of your laziness, not to mention the continuation of the festival hangs in the balance!
