Glastonbury glampers lose tickets and £40,000 as firm collapses
A luxury glamping provider serving Glastonbury festivalgoers is going into liquidation, leaving its wealthy guests without their yurts or chauffeured rides to the Pyramid Stage.
Yurtel, a pioneer of luxury camping, operated for 17 years and boasted of running 'the only luxury camp that can drive our guests straight into the festival to our on-site festival reception'.
The yurts and bell tents, restaurant, cocktail bar and wood-fired hot tubs are beyond the festival's borders but customers could enjoy a five-minute drive to the hospitality area behind the Pyramid Stage.
Guest chefs who have designed menus at the camp include Thomasina Miers, the MasterChef winner and founder of the Wahaca restaurant chain, and Ravinder Bhogal, who is behind the Jikoni restaurant in London.
