"The Weston Sand Sculpture Festival is open from 4th April until the end of September. With every year a new theme we will display a new exhibition with over 30 sculptures entirely made out of sand! The competition between carvers gets greater every year as they try to win you over. The standard is high every year so use your power wisely in the competition area, because you are in control to vote. Alongside the sculptures will be photo opportunities, cinema experiences, workshops, play areas and seaside café. So see you at the Beach?"

As the most famous music festival in the UK, it’s a race to get your hands on one of the 170,000+ Glastonbury tickets when they go on sale. It started in 1970 as a tiny festival, where you mingled with the cows and got free milk while watching T Rex up on stage after paying £1. Since then it’s morphed into the music event of the year. The whole thing is streamed on TV, covered on numerous radio stations and talked about for weeks. If you're lucky enough to grab a ticket make sure you take your wellies too – the Glastonbury mud is as legendary as the festival itself.

I have been and worked it 3 times, I love it and really missed it this year. Re Glastonbury Feedback 2020 We were all disappointed that Glastonbury 2020 did not take place in the usual way but I have felt as high as a kite over the last week following last weekend’s TV coverage and old footage and feel compelled to give you and The Michael Eavis Team feedback. Absolutely outstanding coverage and I was glued to the TV / catchup all weekend! It blew me away from start to finish. To think how it all started, developed and grew from a farmer who just wanted to pay his mortgage off and had passion for music was fascinating and there is no question that there would not be the rich culture, talent, art, freedom of speech I feel if it was not for people like Michael Eavis. There would be no Bowies, Adele’s, Ed’s, etc., Michael has had a significant impact on the 19th and 20th century and he did it his way. I found the David Bowie Gig of 2020 outstanding and it’s unbelievable to think that was 20 years ago! I congratulate you and the Glastonbury team for last week’s coverage on music, mud, and magic, you have all made a massive contribution to music and the world arts. I watched the life of Marc Bolan on Friday, I so wish I could have seen and felt that velvet covered car he cruised in, that Michael was chastised for touching Fingers crossed for next year’s event. Thanks, Diane Ashton

Busy busy busy but great atmosphere. Lots of shopping and mulled wine. Great buzz. Enjoyed the ice skating park and it’s themed area, felt very Christmassy. Enjoyable.
