Thousands of food traders, charities, campaigning organisations and peddlers of the bizarre and unique apply to trade at Glastonbury each year. Each stall is costed individually, based on the location of the site, the type of organisation, the number of staff, the size of stall, the products being sold and so on. There will be some 180,000 people on site at the busiest, with the public arriving from Wednesday morning onwards and most staying 'til Monday morning. So there will be plenty of chance to trade.
