Glastonbury Festival reveals two new venues

Glastonbury Festival has revealed two new venues designed to "rob every inhibition", according to event organisers. The world-famous Somerset event is returning on 26 June with the likes of pop songstress Dua Lipa and rock kings Coldplay headlining. Famed for its eclectic mix of stages and areas, Worthy Farm will this year see the launch of two unique venues. The Wishing Well and Scissors will be based in The Park and both offer "bacchian wonder", organisers said. Femme-queer venue Describing The Wishing Well, a Glastonbury Festival spokesperson said it is "a place in which to ignite your deepest desires and unfurl your wildest wishes". "Re-awaken all that inspires you, because at The Wishing Well – where dreams are made – hope springs eternal," they said. Meanwhile, Scissors has been dubbed an "utterly delicious femme-queer venue" where revellers can discover a "queer wonderland". "Relax in the beer garden and play pool, or catch a movie in Flick Shack," the spokesperson added. "With nightfall comes a twilight roster filling Kiki’s nightclub, where kaleidoscopic walls will keep you dancing til dawn." The venues will replace the legendary Rabbit Hole, which had been based in The Park for 17 years. Follow BBC Somerset on Facebook and X. Send yo
