Although the Glastonbury Festival is not generally known, it has its own “prison” on site. The 2025 festival began on Wednesday, June 25th, with an estimated 210,000 music fans, which is expected to flow into the width of 900 hectares of the worthy farm.

In view of the large turnout, it is inevitable that some may want to cause some of the masses, and that is exactly what is the “prison” of Glastonbury “. As the largest festival in Great Britain and a worldwide celebration, Glastonbury naturally attracts individuals who are risking the extent fences or standing with fake bracelets every year, every year, every year to obtain.

The smuggling of illegal substances, either for personal use or for distribution, is another problem through which security must remain vigilant, reports the Daily Star.

If someone fled the festival regulations, they were able to limit himself to an official stop area that is monitored by security and served as a temporary watchplace for offenders until they are removed from the premises or the police intervened. Although it is not officially recognized as a prison.

A festival visitor who had previously been detained there told about her experience in time and said: “The prison is a square with security fences that surrounded the seating and foil ceilings in which people had fallen asleep.

“There was a strange mix of drug dealers, people who were taken out of the festival because they were too drunk or high, and those who tried to break in.

“Putty dealers came a spectacle, the major dealers announced the major dealers when they brought them.”

Another festival visitor commented on their own experience and said that they “met a man who had been cheated by $ 4,000 for a bracelet” together with another participant who “brought in all his friends but was caught, tried to get through the gap in the fence himself”.
