The Glastonbury Festival is calling on fans to design flags to fly at its livestream event next month.

On Saturday, May 22, the festival will be broadcasting a Live At Worthy Farm global livestream with encore screenings on Sunday, May 23 – and although the farm will be entirely closed to visitors, the organisers are planning to feature homemade flags in the broadcast.

Among the performers at the livestream will be Coldplay, Damon Albarn, Haim, Idles, Jorja Smith, Kano, Michael Kiwanuka and Wolf Alice.

They are looking for flags that celebrate:

– Diversity and equality across all communities

– A cleaner, greener, fairer world

– Love

– All colours of the rainbow

– Freedom to protest

A festival spokesperson said: "We want them to be as homemade as possible – all artistic abilities are welcome, just be creative and get your craft on.

"They can be tie-dye, stitched, painted - anything! Just make them as bright and colourful as you can.

"Flags should be made of material – preferably cotton – and definitely not paper or cardboard. Please don't glue or attach anything to them, especially not plastic.

"Please do not use glitter of any kind. Everything must be stitched and fully secured, as your flag could be flying in the wind."

The dimensions and aspect should be as either:

Portrait/upright - 100cm high by 50cm wide

Portrait/upright - 120cm high by 80cm wide

Square - 90cm high by 90cm wide

Send your flags to the following address, to arrive by Wednesday, May 5.

Please note that the festival will not be able to confirm receipt of flags, or return them, but they will be kept for potential future use/display at the festival.
