High rollers pay £28,000 for a five night stay in the top Tipi Tenthouse Suites and can be flown there by helicopter from London in just 40 minutes for another £10k. The posh tents, which can sleep up to 10, are held up with thick bamboo columns and come with an ensuite bathroom, sofas, mood lighting, dressing tables and extras including hangover pills, Lavazza coffee machines, hand held fans and electric toothbrushes.

The glamping site is the ultimate in cushiness and the polar opposite of the 'rolling-around-in-the-mud squalor' that many will associate with the biggest music festival on earth. Organisers are tight-lipped about who might be staying in the exclusive campsite but previous guests have included Rivals actor Aidan Turner, Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, model Daisy Lowe, and actor Steve Coogan, who left a review saying: 'Great atmosphere. Plenty of space to chill out and great food. I will be back.' Fim director Guy Ritchie hired the Pop-Up Hotel for his wedding with stars including Brad Pitt and Jason Statham as guests. Foo Fighters make surprise Glastonbury performance as The Churn Ups Others staying for Glasto include mega rich hedge fund managers, trustafarians and successful business people.

The whole thing takes around four weeks to put up with many of the areas like the reception and restaurant bespoke made. Many of the rooms and bell tents - which start at £3,6990 - have already sold out. And some of the guests arrive on Friday afternoon and go home on Sunday, missing out on two of the nights they have paid for. A source told us: 'The people who stay here have a different level of money.' Managing director, Mark Sorrill, a local boy from Street, Somerset, is unashamedly proud of creating the elite paradise. He said: 'We've evolved to deliver an unparalleled festival experience for our hotel guests during Glastonbury matched with a 5* service found at any international boutique hotel. 'Our creative production team is busy putting their years of experience into delivering the finest immersive experience combining festival vibes with a boutique hotel's comfort; making The Pop-Up Hotel the perfect choice for a Glastonbury adventure to remember.' Guests are ferried around the site on brand new £90k electric Mini Mokes - more often seen on the French Riviera than in a field in Somerset. And for the filthy rich there is a wellness area run by legendary dance DJ Rob DaBank and his wife Josie where they can get clean and chill out. The couple's company Slomo invested in a series of Dutch wood-fired hot tubs where 'festival weary bodies' can float about after a hard night's dancing. And what festival spa complex would be complete without a Wim Hof-style ice bath. Josie, who also runs Camp Bestival with hubby Rob, said: 'It's just what you need to relax if you've been partying hard. 'People want the wellness.' DJ Rob also takes breathing workshops and Renee Stewart, daughter of rocker Rod, teaches yoga. And for the cut above customers there is even a salon 'pamper area' where they can buy festival clothes and get a Glasto glow-up. A 24hr restaurant and bar keeps guests fed and watered while a DJ booth and live music acts provide round the clock entertainment. Fun Loving Criminals Huey Morgan is among musicians putting on private shows at the hotel. For those with deep enough pockets the hotel offers 'the thrill of glamping with all the comfort, service and facilities you'd expect from a luxury boutique hotel' that can cater 'for every whim'. But have you really been to Glastonbury if you haven't camped in with the masses, got covered in mud, and queued for horrific toilets? 'Some people don't want any of that. They just want to go into the Festival site, enjoy the music and then sleep in a comfy bed and have a shower,' a source said. 'And if you've got the money, why not?'

Inside the £28,999 Glastonbury accommodation with pools and helicopter arrivals
British festivals go hand-in-hand with camping in claustrophobia-inducing tents with all of your friends, covered in mud, slowly sinking into rivers of rain. With Glastonbury Festival around the corner – it may not be the case this year with it set to be a scorcher. This year's Worthy Farm event will see headline performances from the likes of The 1975, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, and Rod Stewart in the legend's slot. Festivals have changed drastically since Glasto began in 1970, with various glamping options available both onsite and in the Glastonbury area. One such accommodation is The Pop Up Hotel, a luxury retreat offering swimming pools and massages for festivalgoers who don't fancy kicking their wellies off in a canvas triangle from their local supermarket. Located in West Pennard, Glastonbury, rooms at the Pop Up Hotel start at £2,999 for two people at The Orchard, a site five minutes from the main hotel. Glamping tents at the site come with 24-hour hot showers, toilets, and more luxurious extras such as a spa, salon, swimming pool, and dining options. For those really wanting to splash out, The Pop Up Hotel has the Tipi Tenthouse Suite priced at an eye-watering £28,999 for six guests. The Tipi Tenthouse has its own en-suite shower room with a shower, toilet, and basin, and king or twin beds. Bedding, linens, towels, and toiletries are provided as well as home comforts such as power for charging electrical devices. For 2025 ahead of Glastonbury's fallow year in 2026, The Pop Up Hotel has introduced a number of 'luxurious upgrades and carefully curated wellness experiences designed to pamper guests like never before,' including a salon in conjunction with Sephora and bespoke spa treatments. A wellness space will allow those tired after a day of dancing to their favourite artists to enjoy saunas, ice baths, yofa, and breathwork sessions. As well as several new food and drink options, The Pop Up Hotel will also have their own live performances and pool parties for guests to enjoy. The Pop Up Hotel also offers travel options to get to and from the festival site – including a private helicopter. 'Hotel guests can beat the worst of the traffic and fly into Glastonbury like rock royalty,' they announced earlier this month. 'By parking at easily-accessible and conveniently-located Hartham Park Estate or Homewood House Hotel, guests can hop on a 15-minute helicopter transfer for the final 30 miles to Glastonbury, bypassing the gridlocked traffic below. Heli-Hop return flights start from £1,399 per person.' However, a spokesperson for Glastonbury said the festival 'absolutely does not condone' the use of private helicopters to the event. More Trending 'This offsite accommodation provider has no relationship to us, so we cannot control how people arrive there. We absolutely do not condone the use of helicopters,' they said (per The Sun). 'Here at Glastonbury Festival, we encourage people to arrive by public transport or to lift share if they do decide to drive.' The company also offers accommodation at Silverstone, The British Grand Prix, Coachella Festival, and Stagecoach Festival – so if you didn't manage to nab any coveted Glastonbury tickets this year, you can still check out what they have to offer elsewhere.

No camping chairs here! Inside Glastonbury's VIP accommodation where guests can visit the hairdresser and party in the pool (and even have a shower!)
The countdown for Glastonbury has officially begun - at least for those lucky enough to have secured their tickets to the UK's largest music festival. Every year, thousands of revellers descend on Worthy Farm - following a heated bid for tickets - to catch some of the world's biggest musical acts live on stage. For most, a stacked line-up is reason enough to endure muddy wellies and compost loos while sharing cramped tents pitched on the festival grounds. Those with deeper pockets, however, might find themselves swayed by more premium glamping experiences offered by The Pop Up Hotel - located 10 minutes from the festival site and not affiliated to Glastonbury. The most luxurious among them is a stay at the Tipi Tenthouse Suite that can accommodate up to 10 people and costs an eyewatering £28,999 to book for a five-day stay. Not a stinky loo in sight, the sprawling tent features real beds, en-suite showers, flushing loos, and all-important power sockets for charging up devices. It is fully equipped with fresh bedding and linen, toiletries, fluffy towels, hanging rails for guests' festival-ready outfits, carpeted floors, and deck chairs to unwind in. And this year, The Pop Up Hotel has expanded its offerings for guests at its boutique tents - including the Tipi Tenthouse - to include access to a Sephora salon that will put the 'glam' in 'glamping'. Guests will be able to book on-site hair and makeup sessions with pros or, if they prefer, get Glastonbury ready at the self-serve beauty stations stocked with with complimentary tools and 2025's most viral products. They will have access to a 24-hour bar, serving up a selection of delicious cocktails made with premium spirits such as George Clooney's tequila brand Casamigos, and multiple fine-dining options. Instead of waiting in line for a burger, The Pop Up Hotel's inhabitants can treat themselves to fabulous meals at an all-new al fresco restaurant, an a la carte restaurant or a 24-hour deli. As well as having a snug bed to cosy up into each night, hotel guests will be able to luxuriate in the swimming pool, indulge in spa facilities, and revitalise their festival weary bodies by booking bespoke IV infusions and compression therapy sessions. Curated wellness sessions as well as lively pool parties are both on offer at the hotel, so guests can spend their time away from Worthy Farm either recovering from all the action - or hyping themselves up for another day at Glastonbury. They will also be provided with a personal concierge as well as dedicated customer service teams, luggage and buggy service and 24-hour private security for guests' privacy. Prices for the accommodation start at £2,999 for five nights for a Classic Room, which is priced for two but can host up to four people. The Tipi Tenthouse Suite is the hotel's most indulgent offering and will set its inhabitants back by £28,999 for the duration of the festival. With tickets to Glastonbury notoriously difficult to get, however, most fans will have to contend with watching the festival from their own homes. Hopefuls were left fuming on Sunday after resale tickets sold out within minutes as organisers noted an 'incredible demand' for passes - especially since they'll have to wait until 2027 to try again. Final sales for the popular music festival were available on Sunday, but due to popular demand were gone within just 20 minutes. The official X account for Glastonbury posted an announcement after fans were furious at not being able to snap up tickets last weekend. 'On a morning of incredible demand, all of the tickets in today's resale have now been sold,' the post read. 'Thank you to everyone who bought one, and sorry to those who missed out.' Fans seemed to be gutted about the new system, with many suggesting it affected their chances at grabbing tickets for the extravaganza at Worthy Farm. Last November, festival bosses announced changes to its booking process, with the introduction of an automatic queue system. Rather than refreshing a holding page, they will be 'randomly assigned a place in the queue' once tickets are available, meaning people who join later will automatically be placed at the back of the line. The system is similar to the one used for major concerts by Taylor Swift, Coldplay and Oasis. By cutting out the need to constantly refresh the website, it reduces the load on the ticketing system and may even speed up the process for users. As in previous years, fans need to be registered for tickets in advance. Taking to X, one person wrote: 'You're not sorry! I'm sorry, actually crying here. Gutted isn't the word. Well done bots.' Another disappointed fan said: 'Please reinstate the old system for 2027. This year has been ridiculous. 4 tries and didn't get anywhere near close.' During last year's edition of the iconic festival, organiser Emily Eavis confirmed that 2026 will be a fallow year 'to let the land rest'. This means festival-goers who missed out on tickets for this year's edition of will have to wait 24 months for another opportunity to attend. 'The festival before a fallow year is always a fun one to plan, because you almost have to fit two years into one,' Emily told The Sun at the time. 'It's got to be the best one yet. Every single one of our vast, incredible crew is crucial to making this event work.' This year's headliners include English pop-rock band The 1975, US pop-punk songwriter Olivia, and legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young. Other big names set to dazzle Worthy Farm include Charli XCX, Loyle Carner, Raye, and Rod Stewart.
