Although we all love the pyrotechnics and the enormity of the big Pyramid Stage acts, it is the far flung and hidden corners of Worthy Farm where the festival is at its most magical.

A lot of Glastonbury Festival is kept hidden away, and many festival-goers will perhaps never find some of its greatest secret treasures.

Here is a selection of just a few of Glastonbury's hidden secrets, how may have you found?

The Stone Masons Arms

You may have noticed a stall in the Green Fields with people chipping away at big blocks of stone.

Well, this simple stone-masonry workshop is not what it first seems, because if you walk through the tent and out into the back, there is a hidden secret to behold.

Behind the main stall, you will find a secret bar called The Stone Mason's Arms, complete with table football table and comfy chairs!

The hidden microvenues at Shangri-La

There are always many hidden venues to be found at Shangri-La.

The field has undergone an extensive renovation for 2017, out goes the Heaven and Hell theme of recent years, and in comes a new "Environ-Mental" theme, where in the words of the poster, "only the waste from last year's festival remains".

Despite this, there is sure to still be many secret venues to find. Is there a random door? Knock on it, open it, you never know what you may find.

Walls at Shangri-La have been known to not in fact be walls at all, but curtains!

I have even bartered with a doorman standing in front of an inconspicuous door to gain entry to a tiny Hollywood VIP themed bar complete with paparazzi and champagne!

So explore the mad world of Shangri-La and see what you can find!

The Secret Underground Piano Bar

It is the stuff of Glastonbury legend - a hidden underground bar that does not appear on any maps or official guides, where well-known artists have been known to turn up for surprise sets.

Michael Eavis named it as his favourite part of Glastonbury, and James Hetfield of Metallica name-checked it on the BBC.

It’s called The Secret Underground Piano Bar, and is built from a large hole in the ground, topped with a wooden frame, covered in turf.

It can be found hidden somewhere amongst the Green Fields towards the South East of the site.

The stone dragon

One of the few parts of the festival that stay on the site year round, a huge dragon water feature is hidden away in the trees to the south of the site.

The massive dragon made of stone spouts water from its mouth and aids the path of a stream that trickles through the valley.

It is relatively easy to find, just search the tree lines in the Dragon Field, the field right next to the stone circle.

Mik Artistik

Mik Artistik may not be a location like the rest of our hidden gems, but he is definitely part of the festival furniture.

The Leeds-based performance comedian performs countless sets across the festival's smaller stages every year, and is must-see.

Playing an impressive 12 shows spanning the five days of the festival this year, be sure to catch the Leeds man and prepare to laugh until it hurts.

Songs such as Sweet Leaf of the North, Plastic Fox and Cheap Watch from the Market have become Glastonbury Festival anthems.

The tunnel under the railway track

One of the many little corners of the festival which people often won't have discovered, even after several visits, is an intriguing tunnel.

The tunnel, that runs underneath the old railway track, connects the Greenpeace Field and Green Futures.

It is often decorated, including the installation below where the roof of the tunnel was adorned with glass and lights.

The secret part of The Rabbit Hole

At the top of Park field is The Rabbit Hole bar, but it is not what it first seems.

Shrouded in intrigue, The Rabbit Hole is an “Alice in Wonderland” themed bar open to all, but there is an inner world where weird and wonderful things happen.

Follow the warren of tunnels and answer a riddle to gain entry to a secret bar at the back, featuring lots of little multi-coloured tents, and a hot tub!

The Spike

Tucked away high up in the trees, The Spike is a tree house structure with several interlinked levels.

It has a bar, and often plays host to DJs and bands amongst the tree-tops

Found near The Glade, it is a great place to relax with a drink in hand.
