1 hour ago, andymk said:Not sure what these are for, but as the ties are pretty horizontal it gives me the impression I wouldn't want to be working at height down there at the moment.
They are normally used on building sites (which the festival site is now) when there is a cable or something that is crossing the road. Acts as an early warning for tall vehicles. In theory it should stop vehicles hitting the cables.

Couple of posts of info on Fibre I found earlier this year.
On 1/13/2023 at 10:41 AM, Dukeicon said:A partnership of BBC Music and Glastonbury Festival organisers commissioned Fibre4TV to install a permanent fibre back-bone around the Worthy Farm estate.
Having the obvious complications of installing fibre cable on such a large scale it was decided to use Steel armoured fibre in a combination of 8, 12, 16 and 24 core singlemode fibre. Joining the OB compound with the various stages, such as the John Peel and the Pyramid Stage, the fibre was terminated to these green fibre cabinets to ST and FC/APC connectors for the any number of camera locations or broadcasters that might need to film at that location.
Due to the ‘natural’ conditions that the cable lives in, Fibre4TV make an annual maintenance visit, pre-festival, to ensure that when the worlds eyes turn to Somerset, the fibre back-bone is ready to go.
https://www.fibre4.tv/news/On 1/13/2023 at 12:02 PM, Dukeicon said:Some more I found from a different site of how the fibre is used.
For the last few years BBC Music has selected Timeline Television to provide both the RF and fibre infrastructure for the outside broadcast at Glastonbury.
BBC Music offers its output on various different platforms: television, radio and interactive. Timeline plays an integral role in the sharing of the content across all of these separate operations.
Timeline ensured that the Glastonbury stages were securely connected to BBC TX scanners for the 60 hours of live transmission.
This was achieved through innovative fibre networking solutions, including Riedel’s Mediornet Systems, linked by a MetroN Hub. The whole system was backed up by a redundant video-over-fibre system.
Providing a site-wide wireless camera system, Timeline used a network of fibre-connected antennas to allow live camera crews to cover the whole of Glastonbury.
Timeline’s experienced technical team ensured that this vital fibre backbone performed seamlessly in the notoriously difficult weather conditions for which Glastonbury is famous.

There was certainly fibre installed last year too, so wondering if the cables and switches are put in and take out before/after each festival?

It isn't easy for someone who isn't already with Vodafone to enter. I've grabbed a Pay as you go sim, topped up with £10 but still cannot access the rewards in the app 🤨 so it's got to be kind of small entry numbers!
Found this on their website, so you might not be able to use it yet?
QuoteWho can use VeryMe Rewards?
Vodafone Pay Monthly mobile customers can use VeryMe Rewards. Pay As You Go mobile customers who top up at least £10 every six weeks, as well as Vodafone Business mobile customers with 1-9 employees, can also access VeryMe Rewards. -

It's called Beam and it's an audio/visual installation in the Green Peace field that is controlled by a Bee Hive located on Worthy Farm.
2019 was the first year it was installed.
2020 it was used as the filming location for The Smile's performance on Live at Worthy Farm (without any of the Beam audio/visual).
2022 was it's second outing.It's actually a really chilled out spot from the festival outside.
QuoteThe installation will use accelerometers (vibration sensors) to measure the activity of the Cornish Black Bee colony living at Michael Eavis’ Worthy Farm at Glastonbury. These live signals will be sent through to the sculpture and algorithms will be used to convert these vibrational signals into ever changing lighting and sound effects 24 hours a day.
The internal space is fitted with a surround sound system that will fill the space 24hrs a day with a fluid and responsive soundscape based on live bee sounds with harmonious musical stems crafted and curated by Wolfgang, Tony Foster and Kev Bales who form the musical collective BE.
