Glastonbury CND Festival 1982 - Saturday

1982 was Glastonbury’s first muddy year, with the highest rainfall in 45 years recorded on the Friday. The Festival became better established with a slew of market stalls selling everything from jewellery to scrumpy cider, and £25,000 was raised for CND and local charities.
