Entering the already crowded festival site, I was a little uneasy. I’d heard discouraging tales of muddy fields shocking toilet facilities and not being able to find your tent among so many others’ exactly the same as yours. I had, of course, tried to prepare for every possibility.
The five-day Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts is the largest open-air music festival in the world. But there, ‘s not just music at the festival. As I wandered about the site. I realized that this was indeed. a festival of performing arts. There were theatre tents, dance performances, and mime（哑剧表演）artists all over the site. You certainly wouldn’t starve in this place, either. I’d never seen so many food stands（摊位）in my life.
The famous Pyramid Stage had its usual lineup（阵容）of great bands and there were plenty of big names playing on the Other Stage, too. In fact, there were so many stages with so many different types of music and things going that it was really difficult to see and do everything you wanted to. I found myself running from one stage to the next , trying to catch at least part of my favourite acts, and still missed a few altogether.
Then it was all over, and I had to pack up my possessions and head back to the real world again. It had been a pleasant surprise to discover that 100, 000 people filled into muddy fields could still manage to have the time of their lives. Tickets weren’t cheap, but since over f I mi in profits from the festival went to charity, it would childish to complain. I left holding the souvenirs bought from various stalls, and with a warm, happy feeling that I’m sure that is shared by anyone who has experienced the magic of the Glastonbury Festival
