The festival’s medical volunteers also report an influx of patients with ailments caused by the hot, dry, dusty conditions at Worthy Farm
People are seeking out emergency dental care while attending Glastonbury because they can’t get appointments at home, according to the charity that runs the music festival’s medical care.
Festival Medical Services was founded at Glastonbury in 1979 and has organised the healthcare at every event on Worthy Farm since. It has set up several medical tents and pharmacies which deal mainly with minor ailments such as bruised ankles and heat exhaustion.
