Everything's lovely in the Glastonbury garden

Visitors to the Greenpeace field at Glastonbury festival sitting in a hammock

I still have to get hold of some wellies (my trusty pair is elsewhere right now) and a tent, but things are starting to fall into place for Glastonbury. The team working hard to bring the Greenpeace field to life are not far from my desk and I haven't heard any raised voices yet which has to be a good sign. But for those out there with tickets (if you don't have them yet, you can still win a pair with our Greener Glastonbury Giveaway on Facebook), exactly what is being cooked up?

It's a Facebook face-off for free Glastonbury tickets

Glastonbury skate competition rules

Last edited 19 May 2008 at 12:01pm

This competition is for fun and to raise awareness about sustainably harvested timber but there are still a few rules, sorry:

1. Competition starts now. Competition closes on 9 June 2008 at midnight GMT so all links must be in the comments below by then.

2. There are three pairs of tickets for one skater and a friend (that will have to be an adult guardian if the skater is under 16). These tickets are non-transferrable - you need to use them yourself and you can't sell them. You'll need to provide the name of your guest when we contact you.

The tents are down, the wellies are drying out and the mayhem is over. Here are a few of our favourite pics from Glastonbury 2007 (you can see lots more on Flickr):

Supporting I Count at Glastonbury 2007

A huge number of festival goers signalled their commitment to action on climate change at this year's Glastonbury. Besides listening to their favourite bands and battling with the traditional wet and muddy weather, over 70,000 new supporters signed up to the UK's I Count campaign to stop climate chaos.

Rain does not stop play

Yesterday's summer solstice was greeted by brave souls who left their tents at stupid o'clock in the morning. Reactions to the celestial event were mixed, but by all accounts the cloud cover made it somewhat less than spectacular. Changeable is probably the best word to describe the weather and while the rivers of mud that made Glastonbury 2005 so memorable have yet to appear, persistent showers have turned the ground into something resembling chocolate soup.
