Luxury accommodation near Glastonbury Festival
Load up the tent and pull on those wellies this June, when Glastonbury’s legendary five-day fiesta of musical mayhem is played out across miles of stunning farmland.
Criss-crossed by leylines with Stonehenge next door, the mystical location of this world-famous music festival has its flip-flopped toes firmly in a hippy-chic past. For the last 50 years, the little town of Pilton in magical Somerset has hosted this sprawling event, a tented city laid out over 900 acres of land just off the busy east-west A303 route through Somerset. Catering to all musical tastes, there are big names, smaller acts, health and wellbeing fields, nighttime cinemas, and theatre, circus and children’s fields.
In fact there are so many events across this enormous site that once a visitor has parked, pitched and got stuck in, they won’t want to leave! Perhaps take a detour on the way home and explore this pretty bit of southern England to continue the magic. And if staying in a house sounds better than camping in a muddy field, we’ve plenty of luxury self-catering accommodation in the stunning surrounds, with designer showers, ample lounging areas and soft beds to sink into after a hard day’s partying.
