About this experience
The morning starts in the farmhouse yard at Worthy Farm out of season, when the fields are back under grass and the site is quiet. The group walks the ground where the main stages stand, following the route an audience takes in, with Eavis explaining how the site is laid out, what the land can carry and where the constraints sit. The walk stops at the Pyramid field, at the Park, and at the smaller corners that get built last and cleared first. Back in a barn, the conversation turns to booking: how a lineup is assembled across eighteen months, how holds and competing offers work, how the smaller stages are filled, and how a Sunday afternoon slot is chosen. Lunch is served at a long table before the group walks up to the top field.
