The ‘luxury’ Pop-Up Hotel, which is located just outside of Glastonbury Festival, now offers guests the chance to ‘beat the worst of the traffic’ and fly into the festival ‘like rock royalty’ on a helicopter
A bloke revealed what the ‘poshest tent’ at Glastonbury is really like – as high-brow guests splash out £29,000 for the luxury pop-up digs.
William Dax, a 26 year old photographer from Exeter, was lucky enough to spend a night in one of the “clean white canvas” tents that offer “unparalleled comfort” for thousands of pounds.
Those forking out the highest rate of a whopping £29,000 will get you a hot tub and – allegedly – the “best night’s sleep” that you’ve ever had.
The swanky glamping retreat The Pop-Up Hotel has unveiled its grand and lavish plans for 2025, which includes a swimming pool and massages.
Glasto-goer William described sleeping in the ‘Deluxe Grande’ bell tent, priced at £4,499 for a five-night stay in the “secluded” area, as feeling like being in a “little city.”
Situated just outside of the Glastonbury Festival site, the hotel now gives guests the opportunity to “beat the worst of the traffic” and arrive at the festival “like rock royalty” – by helicopter.
Rates kick off at £2,999 for a five-night stay in a Classic Room for two, but the Tipi Tenthouse Suite, which can accommodate up to 10 people, comes with a hefty price tag of £28,999 – and these prices don’t include tickets to the Glastonbury Festival.
William continued: “It was probably the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had camping. It’s stupid money – but if you had the cash, it’s definitely great.”
Explaining the option for guests to arrive by helicopter, the festival goer added: “You can fly in from the M4, so you miss all the traffic.
“It flies you pretty much to the campsite, just a field or two over. Then you’d get picked up in a Range Rover and be chauffeured straight in.
“There’s everything a holiday resort would offer on top of the festival on your doorstep. It’s got a swimming pool, a hot tub. There’s a five star restaurant right next to a pool.
“There’s also wellbeing places where you can really relax and kind of get away from the stress of the festival.”
Guests can park at Hartham Park Estate or Homewood House Hotel and then take a 15-minute helicopter transfer for the final 30 miles to Glastonbury – avoiding the traffic congestion below.
The Heli-Hop return flights start from £1,399 per person. With a variety of options including classic room tents, Airstreams and Tenthouse Suites, which boast multiple bedrooms and ensuites, The Pop-Up hotel’s amenities also include a 24-hour bar and lounge area, a full-size swimming pool and a dedicated car park.
While on-site, guests can also indulge in an a la carte restaurant, live performances and a spa complete with hot tubs, ice baths paired with breathwork, complimentary yoga sessions, and saunas.
The Salon pamper area is equipped with complimentary tools and products, private cubicle hot showers available 24 hours a day and ‘proper flushing loos’.
This year, young chef and award-winning author, Max La Manna will also be hosting a breakfast cookery demonstration for Hotel guests at the Courtyard Kitchen on Friday, June 27.
Tucked away in a field just a short stroll from all the action; the pop-up hotel is merely a 10-minute flat walk from Gate D. It’s promoted as a spot that will “allow you to share your experience with those closest to you whilst giving you your own space too”.
The place even boasts personal concierge and customer service teams, luggage and buggy service, and round-the-clock private security.
Mark Sorrill, the managing director of The Pop-Up Hotel, elaborates: “Since launching in 2011 as the first luxury glamping accommodation, 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.
“There’s certainly a reason why it’s a sell-out success every year.”
