Glastonbury in November
Not the best time
November signals the start of proper winter hibernation. Only for the most dedicated spiritual seekers who don't mind gray skies.
Weather
November slides into winter gloom with highs around 10°C and lows near 4°C. Rain falls on about 12 days, often as persistent drizzle that makes everything damp. Daylight becomes precious, ending by 4 PM.

All Months
Glastonbury happens once every few years – usually in late June when the summer solstice energy is still buzzing. The 2026 dates haven't been officially announced, but expect the last weekend of June based on previous patterns. Weather is completely unpredictable. I've seen blazing sun and torrential rain in the same afternoon. The festival takes a fallow year every fifth year to let the land recover, so when tickets go on sale, grab them. They sell out in under an hour. Registration opens months before ticket sales – sign up early. The gates open Wednesday afternoon, and smart festival-goers arrive early to set up camp before the crowds. Sunday night is when the magic really happens – smaller crowds, intimate performances, and that bittersweet feeling of the weekend ending.
