Woodsies

Welcome to Woodsies, a live music hub and alternative hang-out during the day, which comes alive as an ambient, immersive arena at night.

Taking its name from the Worthy Farm fields it occupies, the Woodsies Area combines Woodsies Main Stage with the new ambient-immersive Tree Stage, The Wood (with aerial walkways in the trees and interactive spaces) and Wood’s Bar.

Tucked away in the in the north west corner of the Festival site, Woodsies promises an eclectic array of enticing acts – from mesmerising groundbreaking emerging electronica on the Tree Stage to music from Glastonbury Festival Emerging Talent Competition winners, area-filling surprise stars and genre defying headliners like Four Tet, Scissor Sisters and Jorja Smith, cranking up the volume on the Woodsies Main Stage.

Over into the wilds of The Wood and the Other Wood, reflect, find shade or perhaps find yourself away from the bustle and bass of the arenas. An aerial walkway through the tree canopy takes you over Peter’s Pond. Dappled in sunlight during the day, the Woods becomes an enchanted fantasyland at night. 

At The Wood’s Bar, expect rare grooves, world and jazz from our two house bands, as well as live piano and relaxing DJ sets keeping the bar alive as a vibrant and welcoming spot to quench your thirst. 

A ship-shaped platform high up in the big ash tree, christened Union Castle (after the ship that took Michael Eavis on his seafaring adventures), overlooks Glastonbury Tor and the Woodsies arena. 

We have planted more than 1000 new trees in Woodsies alone as part of our commitment to maintain the magic of the original Worthy Farm and to let us remember the importance of the land as a haven for wildlife.
