Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis to receive knighthood

In an interview with the official Glastonbury website, Sir Michael said his daughter Emily had brought him the official letter about his knighthood.

He said: “I was really surprised to see it, actually. Why did they choose me, I wonder?

“What can I say, really? I’ve done quite a lot of stuff in my life and I’ve always been fairly sure that I was doing the right thing.”

Greenpeace, Oxfam and WaterAid all receive donations from the festival and the event aims to raise around £2m per year, which also helps hundreds of local causes.

In 2023, the festival donated more than £3.7m to a range of charitable causes and campaigns including homelessness organisation Centrepoint, food redistributors Fareshare, several refugee charities and mental health charity Mind.
