Upgraded Glastonbury app offers live location sharing and steps counter
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info An upgraded official Glastonbury app includes live location sharing and a steps counter for the first time as revellers finalise plans for their arrival at the 900-acre site. Building on last year's revamp, Vodafone's 2025 edition focuses on "keeping friends and family connected" as they join around 210,000 others at the world-famous festival from June 25, the telecoms firm said. The app now offers live location sharing on the Glastonbury map, in a bid to make it easier for festival-goers to find their friends across the site. Step count tracking has been added to the My Highlights post-festival wrap, so attendees can reflect on the ground covered over the five days. In other key updates, the Shared Line-ups feature will now automatically update, helping festival-goers spot who their friends are seeing and allowing them to plan their day accordingly. A map search feature is also designed to make it easier to navigate Worthy Farm and find different cuisines, locate camping and merchandise stands or discover new stages. It also reprises some 2024 features, including personalised recommendations on artists performing at the festival based on listening habits through Spotify, the ability to share line-ups with friends, map pinning to help users find everything from their tent to a favourite food stall and automatic highlighting when artists overlap to help navigate the schedule. In 2024, the app saw 226,215 total downloads, 88.9% from festival-goers attending Worthy Farm and 11.1% from viewers at home. The app is free for iOS and Android. Maria Koutsoudakis, chief brand officer at Vodafone UK, said: "We know the app plays a big role in the festival experience so, this year, we have gone even further to ensure that fans can connect with their friends or family and get as much out of Glastonbury as possible. "Combined with us delivering the most Vodafone network capacity ever on-site, these new features will help festival-goers always be connected, no matter where they are across the site. "We're delighted to be able to use these features to reward both fans and communities across the UK, by tying the new step count feature to our campaign. Social impact is a key part of Glastonbury's ethos as a festival, and we're proud to be able to play our part in that." Vodafone's Connect & Charge tent will also offer free phone charging and WiFi on site.

This Prada-inspired tote costs just £20 - plus the best other beach bags on the high street
If you're a celebrity, style influencer or fashion editor, there's only one summer bag to be seen with: Prada's crochet tote, which has achieved cult status over the past few years. It costs an astonishing £1,500, despite it's extremely simple design (basically just a rectangular-shaped raffia-effect bag with a logo on). However luckily, there are plenty of totes with similar vibes on the high street. Straw Tote Bag £19.99 Shop Take H&M's tote for example, which has a similar shape to Prada's bag, as well as the same straw colour combined with black printed logo (admittedly saying 'Amour Paris' not 'Prada', but you do save £1,480 in foregoing the branding). It's a good size for your towel, book and sunglasses case, and would go with pretty much any outfit, which is handy when you don't want to lug a whole load of options on holiday with you. What's more, it's only £19.99 – which leaves you some spare cash for those poolside Aperol spritzes. Of course, the high street is awash with excellent baskets and beach bags at the moment. Key trends include huge, oversized bags (perfect if you have a family in tow), deckchair-like retro stripes and endless raffia and crochet options. Okay, so we might not be able to swing a Prada bag from our shoulders like Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa, but we can still look very chic on holiday with these affordable offerings… Red And White Striped Tote Bag £49 Shop Khaki Green Straw Shoulder Bag £34 Shop The Island Hopper Tote Bag South Beach £24 Shop Raffia Tote Bag £32 Shop Tan Here Comes The Sun Woven Straw Beach Bag £22 Shop George at Asda Neutral Zoelle Straw Tote Bag Whistles £109 Shop Off White Striped Slouchy Canvas Tote Shopper Bag £15.99 Shop New Look Raffia Oversized Tote Bag £90 Shop Hush A&P Hero Tote £44 Shop Ace & Prince

M&S's summer beauty bag is back – it costs just £35, but it's worth £210
M&S's sell-out summer beauty bag is back for 2025. Your chance to discover new favourites or revisit classic formulas, the bundle offers a smorgasbord of the best brands in M&S's beauty hall – think This Works, Arkive, Dr Paw Paw and Estée Lauder. The bag includes four full-size products and seven travel minis. There's a mix of cult buys like Color Wow 's dreamcoat spray and new launches like REN 's SPF 50, and to make travelling even easier, all the products are packaged in a pink wash bag. Unlike previous years, the bundle is only available in-store because of an ongoing major cyber attack. Since the incident, the company has reportedly lost around £300 million, having paused online orders and purchases on apps until at least mid-July. Here, we've got all the details you need to know about what's in the 2025 M&S summer beauty bags, plus how to shop in-store and show your support for the high street stalwart. As well as the impressive range of beauty goodies worth £210, you'll also get a beauty bag thrown into the mix. Coming in a summer-hued bright pink and peach, there's no risk of it blending into the background and getting lost in your hand luggage. With a zip closure and roomy design, it's perfect for storing all your essentials while travelling or for providing extra storage in your bathroom cabinet. As for the products inside, there are some impressive formulas. Color Wow's dreamcoat spray (£19.50, is a cult favourite for protecting your hair against heat styling and taming frizz, particularly in humidity. Arkive's good habit hair oil (£15, adds the final flourish to your summer haircare regime, boosting your hair's shine thanks to baobab and jojoba oils (the formula has a lovely fragrance, too). A compact Tangle Teezer brush (£10.50, is also thrown in for brushing your hair on the go. When it comes to skincare, REN's new SPF 50 (£36, hydrates and protects summer skin. The lightweight formula doesn't leave a white cast and is suitable for sensitive and eczema-prone skin. Dr Paw Paw's original balm (£7.25, is a handy make-up staple. Offering a two-step bodycare routine, there's Bloom & Blossom's ultra-nourishing moisture body cream (£24, as well as This Works' body smoothing wash (£14.40, You'll find two Estée Lauder products in the beauty bag. The double-wear mascara (£18.15, is full size and claims up to 15 hours of lash definition, while the brand's revitalising supreme moisturiser (£58, is packed with peptides for reducing fine lines.
