Glastonbury Music Festival lit up thanks to Bevere Fish Pass

Tonnes of wood from Bevere was used to light up the stone circle which stays alight across the five days of the festival.

The stone circle was first built in the early 1990s and is made up of 20 stones and can be seen as a backdrop for the popular music festival.

Thousands of music lovers enjoyed the five-day festival from Wednesday (June 21) to Sunday (June 25).

Over 50 tonnes of wood was collected from the Canal and River Trust's Bevere Fish Pass on the River Severn.

The Trust managed to save £3,500 on disposal costs by giving the wood to Glastonbury.

Contractors spent a week collecting the debris from the fish pass at Bevere before it was taken to the festival.

The pass is just north of Worcester and is a 100-metre channel for fish such as twaite shad, salmon, lamprey and eels to travel up the river.

The Trust said it was happy to play a small part in such a huge event.

Rob Labus, contract manager at the Canal & River Trust, explained: "Wood collects on the fish pass every time the River Severn floods. This debris needs to be removed to stop it from causing any blockages.

"It’s fantastic that this year the wood has been put to good use at Glastonbury and that we as a Trust were able to play a small part in such a huge event.

"We are grateful to Greg Klaes for his assistance because, as well as benefiting the festival, it represents a good cost saving for the Trust, so we can do more to preserve the region’s ecologically important waterways.

"I'd also like to thank our construction and operations teams in the West Midlands for their support in making this happen."
