Just looked at my 1987 ops map, and it shows there that the Jazz World field is West Holts, and the Cabaret Tent field is East Holts, so that all makes sense there.

The fact is West Holts did sort of used to be at the western side of the site, the site's just got a hell of a lot bigger since!

That makes sense I suppose.

It may be in the East of the festival site, but its West of Holts, which is a field system that belongs to Cockmill Farm rather than Eavis isn't it? So its all relative.

Fairly sure that land is ME's, as is Cockmill Farm.

The World stage was my fave... yeah West Holts is indeed v. Glastonbury but it's not a great name. If being factual I would call it the Non-Mainstream-Western Music Stage.

Yes, you're right - was purchased in 1985 by ME by the looks of it to expand the festival site. Don't know whether it is leased to another farmer now though as I believe there were some difficulties with this farmer and the land RE: car parking and the Oxfam field back in 2008. Also, isn't this the farm that's running that exclusive festival accomodation, with choppers etc. for the celebs these days . . ?

Isn't the exclusive stuff with helicopters Winding Lake Farm?
