Visitors to the LEGOLAND® Windsor Resort will be able to spot a brand NEW Glastonbury Festival scene in the world-famous Miniland attraction from June 22 - complete with REAL Worthy Farm mud and a Miniland LEGO figure of headline star Kanye West.

Guests will be able to spot 10cm high LEGO® recreations of the Foo Fighters on the Pyramid Stage as well as rap star Kanye West and Kim Kardashian with her famous curves backstage in the VIP area. Plus a festival isn't a festival without all the essentials – expect portaloos, tents and festival-goers mud sliding in REAL Glastonbury Festival mud delivered direct to the attraction from Worthy Farm.

The Glastonbury scene took the Resort's talented Model Making team 600 hours to build, using around 4,472 bricks, including 1,570  to create the 50cm high Pyramid Stage based on precise dimensions supplied by the Glastonbury Festival team.

“Glastonbury Festival has become such a British institution, we felt that it was high time that we added a festival scene to our Miniland line-up here at the LEGOLAND Windsor Resort,” commented PR Manager Lauren Moss. “There are so many iconic scenes from Worthy Farm, we've had a lot of fun recreating the festival fun. We hope guests will enjoy spotting the new scene including the real mud kindly supplied by the Eavis family who hand delivered it to us on a recent visit here.”

Guests can see the new Glastonbury scene as part of Miniland at LEGOLAND Windsor from June 22, where it will remain in place as a permanent fixture.
