Worthy Farm in Somerset and the surrounding area played host to around 175,000 people attending Glastonbury festival last weekend, making it a temporary city of approximately the same size as Oxford.

Although there are some permanent features of the festival, the majority of the infrastructure that caters for the population is put in place for just one weekend every year that the festival takes place.
