Inside Glastonbury Festival's £28K luxury tents for A-listers
Glasto glamping costs range from hundreds of pounds to guarantee a place to pitch your own tent with hot showers, to tens of thousands of pounds for hot tubs, on-site chefs, helicopters, and even backstage hospitality passes.
Glastonbury Festival might have originated from hippy roots, with the very first festival costing just £1 for a ticket, including a pint of milk. Now, after years of sell-out shows, it's the hottest festival ticket every year, and A-list celebrities and those squeamish of facing the dreaded long-drop loos often opt for fancy camping off-site.
Glamping ranges from festival staples like Tangerine Fields, with pre-pitched tents, to Camp Kerala, which provides all meals, stunning views, private hotel rooms, and private parties for the rich and famous, thought to cost upwards of £8,225.
In 2025, various campsites, including South Park 2 and Oxylers, were reduced in size to accommodate the 210,000+ fans, staff, artists, and crew roaming Worthy Farm for five days of revelry. Meanwhile, former camper van site E24 has been replaced with the Festivue boujie camping option, so space could be at a premium, especially for those arriving later on Thursday or Friday.
The festival has had challenges with crowds in recent years, including closing down Sugababes' West Holts set in 2024 due to overcrowding, closing access to Kasabian's Woodsie's secret set, and shutting down Bicep's performance after 20 minutes due to concerns of crushing of fans at the front.
Meanwhile, some Glastonbury revellers were left thousands of pounds out of pocket when high-end camping company Yurtel went into administration in May 2025. Their prices ranged from £10,000 for a bell tent to £16,500 for a presidential suite.
Glastonbury Festival told the BBC it was "disappointing" for fans who had paid for places with the company, but made it clear that Glastonbury Festival has "no involvement with the operation of Yurtel". In fact, the festival has a page dedicated to advice around off-site camping options, and allows revellers to check in with the festival before booking, to see if they're officially affiliated.
With the 2025 Glastonbury Festival merely weeks away, and now with the full line-up and official Vodafone app launched, here's an inside look at the more affordable glamping options, all the way up to the opulent off-site paradise plots for influencers and the rich and famous.
This year will see headliners including The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, and Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts. Meanwhile, Rod Stewart takes on the Sunday Legend slot, and Charli XCX, The Prodigy, and Loyle Carner headline The Other Stage. Meanwhile, tickets came in at a hefty £378.50 each, so with glamping on top, costs can easily mount up.
Holt Farm
Holt Farm prices range from more affordable pitching spots to top-end boutique bell tents for £2,500. The site boasts that the glamping spot is the closest to the main festival site, or "skipping distance to Pedestrian Gate D," allowing you to walk to the main stage within 15 minutes. The company has the same payment system as Yurtel, which liquidated recently. However, they have assured customers on social media that they're a separate entity and just shared a payment platform.
Prices: £250 - £2500
Location: This seems to be the closest off-site camping spot, just outside Gate D.
Tangerine Fields
Tangerine Fields appears at various festivals, including Download, Creamfields, and Boardmasters. For their Glastonbury set-up, they offer four-man tents up to six-man bell tents, along with two locations, one at the blue gate and one at the bronze gate.

Prices: £400 - £1,090
Location: Seemingly one of the further glamping options available. Accessible at Crossways Lane, North Wootton, BA4 4HN. The website explains, 'our campers bus, cycle, taxi and walk.

Tipis, Sticklinch, Caravans and Worthy View
Yep, even Glastonbury offers its own boujie camping options. The iconic Worthy View, which sits above the Stone Circle, is the most well-known, along with Festival Tipi Village. Meanwhile, there are the extended pre-pitched pod pads in Sticklinch, towards South Park 2, with a less challenging walk and doll's house-style plastic huts. Finally, there's the camper van fields, which charge £200-£300 per pitch. Unfortunately, given their popularity each year, these are now all sold out.

Freddy Brazier announces he's going to rehab to 'get clean' after sad fallout with dad
Freddy Brazier, 20, has revealed he's going to rehab in Spain to get clean after battling a smoking addiction since age 12 Freddy Brazier has announced he is heading to rehab in Spain as he battles a long-standing addiction. The 20-year-old, youngest son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, revealed he has been addicted to smoking since the age of 12 and is now taking steps to 'get clean.' The move follows reports of a strained relationship with his father Jeff, leading Freddy to leave the family home and move in with his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden, Mirror reports. On Instagram, Freddy opened up about his decision to seek treatment, saying: "I've decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously." He described smoking as a "bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK." Yet now, Freddy is determined to turn his life around. "I've found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I'm happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself." His goal is clear. "I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side." Freddy also reflected on his struggle to feel loved, admitting, "I haven't been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now." He hopes to embrace a new chapter, sharing: "I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father." The young man ended his heartfelt message with a plea for privacy and understanding: "Every day is a new story about me and my Nana and father. It's getting boring now. Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x." Concerns about Freddy's wellbeing have grown this week after news emerged that he had moved out of his father's home to live with Jackiey Budden. Freddy and Jeff had previously been seen sharing a close bond, notably on the BBC series Race Across the World last year. However, their relationship now appears fractured, with Freddy growing closer to his late mother Jade's mother. Reports say Jeff is devastated by the situation and is considering legal action to prevent Freddy and his grandmother from spending time together. Defying his father's wishes, Freddy has continued to share photos with his grandmother on social media. One recent post alarmed fans as he listed the things he hates about himself, including his 'relationship with weed,' 'step parents,' and his inability to love properly. He also mentioned having 'family issues.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

The TikTok video was shared just a day before what would have been Jade Goody's 44th birthday. The late Big Brother star died aged 27 in 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer. Supporters flooded Freddy's post with messages of encouragement. One TikTok user wrote, "Ah man this is gonna be sad to watch," while another said, "Go home son, this is not what mum wanted for you sweetheart." A third added, "Sending you love Fred! Watched you in Race Across the World & you're such a decent lad with so much potential." The tension within the family extends beyond his father. Freddy was absent from his older brother Bobby's 22nd birthday party on Monday, an event reportedly marked by a "sadness" due to his absence. Bobby was said to have spent time with Jeff and his stepmother Kate instead. Freddy was just four when Jade passed away. Since then, Jeff has dedicated himself to raising Freddy and Bobby, striving to provide stability after such a traumatic loss.

Doctor Who's Billie Piper and David Tennant 'to reunite' for special episode
Just days after it was revealed that Billie Piper was returning to Doctor Who, replacing Ncuti Gatwa as The Doctor, another legendary name has been tipped to make a comeback Doctor Who fans may be in for another huge surprise, as another fan favourite is rumoured to return to the series. Fans are still recovering from the news of Billie Piper's return - and now show legend David Tennant has now been tipped reunite with her onscreen for "one last hurrah". David, who played the role of the Doctor between from 2005 to 2010, is rumoured to be in talks to star in a one off special with co-star Billie. The actress previously appeared as Rose Tyler, companion to the doctor between 2005 and 2006. The pair recently reunited for the BBC special, Doctor Who: Unleashed, 20 Years in Wales where they reflected on their time together. In a sneak preview, Billie and David gushed over how much fun they had on set. Now, it looks like they could be having even more fun - by reuniting for a special anniversary episode. 'The BBC brought Doctor Who back in 2005 and there is talk about a possible one-off project to celebrate the 20th anniversary. David and Billie were a hugely popular partnership and he brought in the golden age of Doctor Who," a source told The Sun. "With the anniversary of the reboot this year there have been some ideas floated about with the idea of maybe bringing David and Billie back together for one last hurrah." It's not the first time David would be making a shock return. In November 2023, he was officially revealed as the Fourteenth Doctor before handing the role over to Ncuti Gatwa. Recently, Doctor Who fans were left stunned when it was announced Billie Piper had replaced Ncuti Gatwa as the Doctor, with the character regenerating during the finale of science-fiction series Doctor Who. Speaking about her return, Billie said: "It's no secret how much I love this show, and I have always said I would love to return to the Whoniverse as I have some of my best memories there, so to be given the opportunity to step back on that Tardis one more time was just something I couldn't refuse." In a statement released by the BBC, Ncuti Gatwa said: "You know when you get cast, at some point you are going to have to hand back that sonic screwdriver and it is all going to come to an end, but nothing quite prepares you for it. "This journey has been one that I will never forget, and a role that will be part of me forever. There are no words to describe what it feels like to be cast as the Doctor, nor are there words to explain what it feels like to be accepted into this iconic role that has existed for over 60 years and is truly loved by so many across the globe. "The fans are truly the final character and beating heart of this show, and I can't thank the Whoniverse, and the Whovians, enough for welcoming me in and making this such a touching experience. "I've loved every minute of it, but now is the time to hand over the keys to that beloved blue box and let someone else take control and enjoy it every bit as much as I have. I'll truly miss it, and forever be grateful to it, and everyone that has played a part in my journey as the Doctor."
