Glamping at Glastonbury. If you were lucky to get Glastonbury tickets, you will soon be planning your visit to Worthy Farm. For my first Glastonbury, I took a Pop-Up Tent and not much else. Then I moved on to a mid-size tent, and now we have a large tent. What can I say, as you get older you need more and more comfort!

If you are looking for the ultimate in creature comforts at Glastonbury, then this list of Glamping sites is for you.
These are sites within the festival or just outside. There are other options outside the festival site but are not connected to the festival. I did not include those because they sometimes stop trading or disappear.

Glamping at Glastonbury:
Worthy View
Worthy View is Glastonbury’s official offsite campsite. The site offers basic custom-made pre-erected tents just outside the festival fence. It is right next to Strummerville and The Stone Circle. Be warned, the hill is a killer after a few too many ciders! It is not suitable for wheelchairs or children’s pushchairs.
Worthy View has a dedicated car park a short walk from the tents.
Location: Just outside the main festival fence.
Facilities: On-Site Bar, Restaurant, Toilets, Showers, 24 hr info point, 24 hr security, first aid cabin.
Ticket: Glastonbury Tickets are not included.
Price: From £435 up to £1500.

Sticklinch
Sticklinch is the other official offsite campsite organised by Glastonbury. It is located at the old West Campervan fields. It offers a bit more choice in accommodation. There are yurts, pods, bell tents and the scout-style tents you get up at Worthy View.
The walk to Sticklinch is a lot easier on the muscles too. Limited parking is available a short walk from the accommodation.
The Sticklinch campsite is located West of the Festival site, in the former West Campervan fields. Pedestrian access to the site through the former West Campervan Pedestrian Gate – now called Gully Gate – (between the Bailey’s and South Park camping grounds) is via a footpath with a gentle gradient across Rigg’s Field campsite.
Location: Just outside the main festival fence.
Facilities: Sticklinch will provide a range of food and drink outlets, toilets, showers, a pamper parlour, a 24 hour information point, 24 hour Security & Stewards.
Ticket: Glastonbury Tickets are not included.
Price: From £435 up to £1600.

Tipis At Glastonbury
One of my favourite areas of Glastonbury is the Tipi Field. It has become a part of Glastonbury as much as The Pyramid Stage and Stone Circle.
There are a limited number of tipis that you can hire during the 5 days of the festival. The great thing about the tipis is that they are still on the festival site.
Location: in the Tipi Village near the Stone Circle and adjacent to the Park area of the Festival
Facilities: The Tipi Village has its own facilities, including compost toilets and showers, plus there will be hot food and drinks available to purchase, a communal fire, and space around the Tipis to sit, and for children to play.
Ticket: Glastonbury Tickets are NOT included.
Price: £1750
