It’ll be an event that’ll go down in festival history! A woman gave birth just hours after The Rolling Stones played their set at the world famous festival.
Festival mad Heidi Wesson, 33, who was heavily pregnant, attended the 3 day festival last weekend and went into labour on Saturday evening.
Wesson, from Leicester, gave birth to a healthy baby girl, and spoke of her joy at giving birth at Glastonbury, saying mother and baby were “fine and fabulous”.
A regular at the festival, Wesson’s newborn baby, who has yet to be named, was born at 3am, Sunday morning at the medical centre on site.
Her cousin Terry Albone said that Wesson was the “only woman I know who, when eight months pregnant, would go to Glastonbury in that condition.”
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a spokesman for the festival said that mother and daughter were healthy and recovering well.
“We’d like to send our congratulations to the family. We look forward to welcoming them back in future years” he said.
“We’ve had babies born here that are now grown-ups. They still come every year. That’s a beautiful thing.”
It’s estimated that 180,000 people attended the festival but while we’re guessing that it’s quite common to have babies conceived at Glastonbury but a birth no doubt is far from the norm!
