Travel Somerset is pushing a new interactive tool to help visitors plan their journeys to Glastonbury, with more than 200,000 people heading to Worthy Farm near Pilton – many by road, for the first time since 2019 to catch Paul McCartney, Kendrick Lamar and many more perform.

Somerset County Council has traffic management staff working at the festival control room and will be keeping people updated on the latest travel conditions all week via @TravelSomerset on our Facebook and Twitter channels, as well as at www.travelsomerset.co.uk.

Roads will be far busier than usual with the rail strikes, and it takes time to get everyone onto the site; so, anyone travelling in the area is advised to allow extra time for their journeys.

 There is also THIS a planner for getting to Glasto which you can use by putting in your start location .

Somerset County Council's Lead Member for Transport and Digital Cllr Mike Rigby, said: "It is excellent to see the return of Glastonbury Festival taking place in our wonderful county once again after a difficult couple of years. We are incredibly lucky to have such a renowned, worldwide event and we are very proud to work alongside the festival throughout the year in preparation.

 "Like every year, we will be working throughout the week and doing our best to keep residents and festival goers up to date.

 "With the current train strikes, we implore people to please plan ahead if you need to travel. You can follow our Travel Somerset page on Twitter and Facebook for regular updates."
