A trip to Glastonbury Festival is like visiting another country or even stepping into a different world altogether. If you climb to the top of the hills at the southern part of the site after dark, you can appreciate the enormity of it all; the festival's very own city illuminated by glittering lights.
The 900-acre Worthy Farm is transformed for the final weekend of June with preparations already underway to start rebuilding the Pyramid stage. And while Glastonbury is best known for its music, comedy and theatre, the festival is also home to some of the most impressive art installations in the world.
One man, in particular, has been crucial to executing the festival's artistic vision for many years. Artist Joe Rush is the master of otherworldly art. He has been collaborating with the Eavis family since the 1980s through his performing arts collective Mutoid Waste Company, known as the Mutoids. Joe has been key to the Glastonbury ethos, including marvels such as the Unfairground, Trash City and most recently, Glastonbury on Sea.
