A photograph taken during the daytime at Glastonbury Festival. The camera faces up towards a blue sky with dozens of colourful flags flying in the wind. The tops of two big top tents are visible, and beyond them are trees.

Glastonbury CND Festival 1983

The Local Government Act became law, giving local authorities the power to regulate outdoor events. This set a crowd limit as well as a long list of requirements for access roads, water supply and hygiene which the Festival had to meet in order to go ahead. Glastonbury’s own radio station, Radio Avalon, broadcast for the first time.
