Glastonbury have announced that they will be offering off-site camping facilities run by the organizers of the festival for the first time this year.

The festival had previously obtained the facilities back in 2011 after a third-party company collapsed resulting in 3,000 festival goers being without accommodation, but this is the first time that they will actually be utilizing it.

The site called Worthy View is run by the festival team and will offer pre-erecting camping to 4,000 people who will be attending the event and best of all, it is only a shirt walk from the main site itself.

The founder of Glastonbury, Michael Eavis said: "It's really important to me that we offer people the best-value accommodation.

"We don't want festival-goers paying through the nose, so we've decided to offer some cracking off-site camping ourselves, very close to the main site.

"With tents for five nights available for only £100 per person, and even the hand-crafted yurts for £150 per person, there is no reason to pay more elsewhere."

There is still speculation about who will be appearing at Glastonbury this year with veteran artists such as Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones hinting to fans that they may be making an appearance at the legendary festival.
