It’s click-and-collect… at Glastonbury! Festivalgoers can order shopping to the campsite for the first time
- Co-op supermarket said the new service will help music fans keep costs down
- Food and drink can be pre-ordered via an app and picked up at pop-up Co-ops
Glastonbury festival-goers can order click-and-collect shopping to the campsite for the first time this year.
Co-op supermarket said the new service will help music fans keep costs down at Worthy Farm.
Last year, revellers complained about vendors’ ‘rip-off’ prices, with pints of beer costing from £6 and a slice of Margherita pizza priced at £7.
The click-and-collect service – where food and drink can be pre-ordered via an app and picked up at pop-up Co-ops around the campsite – is a long way from Glastonbury’s humble roots in 1970.
Then, it cost just £1 for a ticket and the 1,500 people who attended were given free milk from the farm.

This year, 210,000 fans will be at the event, headlined by Arctic Monkeys, Guns N’ Roses and Elton John, with tickets costing £340 – a 21 per cent rise from £285 last year.
Kenyatte Nelson, chief membership and customer officer at the Co-op, said the stores will ‘stock more than 200 essential products, including fresh food, beers and wines’.
