‘Glasthomebury’: Fans recreate festival experience after event axed again
One couple who met at the festival said they felt they had to celebrate on the weekend it was supposed to take place.
Glastonbury fans have been coping with their second consecutive year without the festival by recreating the famous site in their own homes.
Fans took to social media to share their “Glasthomebury” decorations over the weekend the event was due to take place before coronavirus got in the way for a second year in a row.
Among them were Glastonbury fanatics Felicity Cooney and Freddy Bevan, from south Somerset, who met at the festival and even travelled to get engaged under the site’s famous pyramid after it was called off last year.
“We were actually trying to work out last night how we could incorporate our Pyramid Stage into the reception.
“We’re all Glastonbury veterans and live close to the site. I’ve been going since I was a baby so when Covid cancelled Glastonbury we couldn’t bear the thought of not celebrating the weekend. Especially without watching some music on the Pyramid Stage.”
Ms Cooney said her brother-in-law had surprised them by building a model of the famous main stage in their back garden.
“Our dream now is to get back to Worthy Farm next year to celebrate our honeymoon.”
They plan to recreate the party atmosphere of the festival’s Saturday night with a DJ set from one of their friends and a mobile bar, as well as their own Pyramid Stage showing highlights from the BBC.
