Inside Glastonbury glamping site where group of six can enjoy swimming pool, spa and en-suite shower - for £28,000

2 months ago 20

Thousands of festival-goers descended on Worthy Farm this morning ready to pitch their tents in prime camping spots as Glastonbury Festival kicks off.

For most, mucky boots, infamously stinky loos and sore backs, are just part of the experience - a small price to pay for watching some of the world's biggest stars. 

But for a lucky few who are able to fork out £28,000 to stay at the festival's poshest glamping site, they can take a hot shower, have a dip in the pool and enjoy a spa experience.

The Tipi Tenthouse Suite offers five double bedrooms with a dining area and en-suite shower rooms. Guests can enjoy an a la carte restaurant or relax in the site's hot tubs and saunas.

There will be no need to queue for ages for a portaloo as there are built in flushing toilets, while glampers can walk along a carpeted floor and lounge in deckchairs outside.

For most festival-goers, however, they descended on the world famous farm in Pilton, Somerset at the crack of dawn this morning in order to pitch their tents in the best location.

Organiser Emily Eavis unbolted the green gates to Worthy Farm as a brass band played at 8am, and then led revellers in a countdown before they surged on to the field in the hopes of securing a prime camping spot.

This year's event will see headline performances from global stars including pop singer Dua Lipa, British rock band Coldplay and American soul singer Sza, while Canadian country star Shania Twain will play the coveted legends slot.

Other attractions at the festival, which runs from today until Sunday, include speeches, film screenings and Q&As, circus performances, comedy sets and more.

Rock band Squeeze will open the Pyramid Stage on Friday at midday, followed by rising star Olivia Dean, K-pop group Seventeen and singer Paul Heaton. 

Later on, PJ Harvey and LCD Soundsystem will warm up for Dua Lipa as she headlines the main stage on Friday night - her Pyramid Stage debut.

The 28-year-old pop star is expected to treat festival revellers to a selection of her hit songs, including Houdini and Training Season from her third studio album, Radical Optimism, released earlier this year.

On Saturday, the main stage will welcome Nigerian stars Femi Kuti and Ayra Starr, followed by US 80s chart-topper Cyndi Lauper and rock band Keane.

Mercury Prize winner Michael Kiwanuka and British rapper Little Simz will also play on the Pyramid Stage in the evening before Coldplay top the bill.

The main stage on the final day will open with a performance by Interlinked Ballet, with Seasick Steve and Paloma Faith set to take to the stage in the afternoon.

They will be followed by Twain, who is expected to play her hits including Man! I Feel Like A Woman!, You're Still The One and That Don't Impress Me Much.
