Missed out on tickets? We’ve teamed up with Brothers Cider to bring you a brilliant alternative – plus you can win a case of refreshing fruit cider
legends to globe-trotting superstars, it’s heaven for music fans. If you’re someone who enviably catches every performance of the artists you love, then this is your chance to upgrade your set-up and really make it feel like you’re there at Worthy Farm with all 200,000 revellers. It’s as simple as getting your tent down from the loft, your Hawaiian shirt out from under the bed, and, optionally, not showering for five days (that one’s up to your discretion, though).
To help inspire your Glastonbury Festival from home, we’ve teamed up with Brothers Cider – the festival’s official cider partner – to give away 25 winners one case each from its refreshing new range, ready to be enjoyed with all your friends. With flavours ranging from berry to citrus, it’s pretty much the ideal festival drink, whether you’re at Glastonbury itself or joining in from the garden.
Enter below for your chance to let us take care of the drinks, and in the meantime, here’s everything else you need to get the Glastonbury Festival experience at home:
Other than the world-class music line-up and a general sense of abandon, the quintessential bit of the experience is the camping: it’s not a festival if you’re not waking up in a sleeping bag and eating a cereal bar you found at the bottom of your backpack for breakfast, after all. Naturally, then, the first step in hosting your own Glastonbury Festival is putting up your tent, so find your inner Scout, and get out into the great outdoors (otherwise known as your garden).
The first time you step foot on site at Glastonbury Festival it’s nothing short of breathtaking: between IICON, Shangri-La and the sheer might of the Pyramid stage, so many of the areas are like nothing you’ve ever seen before, and it feels like an entire village built for music lovers. While you might not be able to recreate that scale at home, you can certainly make some tweaks – like outdoor lighting, or, if you’ve got any friends who might fancy giving you a performance, even erecting a mini Woodsies or The Park (some old milk crates from your local shop will do the job). You may want to stop short of hiring an outdoor toilet, but hey, it’s your festival, we don’t judge.
Just because you’re not at Worthy Farm itself doesn’t mean you should miss out on bopping along to Dua Lipa’s headline pop extravaganza or yee-hawing with Shania Twain’s throwback Legends slot. Swap your festival lanyard for the TV guide and get planning – watching at home means you get a front-row seat, after all.
Though the extent of a lot of UK festival food is basically just ‘burger and chips’, Glastonbury Festival is known for its massive range of traders, who deal in international dishes ranging from filling curries to crepes and churros, so really, there are a lot of options for getting your festival scran right when you’re DIYing it. To embrace the outdoor vibe, you could fire up the BBQ and chuck on some sausages, halloumi, or veggie skewers – all of which happen to be especially delicious when paired with a chilled can of Brothers Cider.
If you weren’t turning an absolutely ridiculous look or seven were you even at Glastonbury Festival? Channel the spirit of the festival by looking for the weirdest and most wonderful fits your local vintage stores and charity shops have to offer, or go slightly lower key, and hunt for some vintage band merch at one of your local treasure troves, the Great British car boot.
Ultimately, Glastonbury Festival is about bringing people together to celebrate the culture and music that in many cases united them in the first place. You definitely don’t have to physically be on the farm to be able to do that – as long as you’re with your friends and loved ones, there can be no doubt that you’re in keeping with the Glastonbury mood.
Enter the competition by filling out the form below and you could be one of 25 people winning a case of cider each. The package includes one 10x500ml pack of Brothers’ delicious new flavours for 25 lucky winners and their friends. The four flavours on offer are Un-Berrylievable, Best of the Zest, Berry Sub-Lime or App-Solutely Pear-Fect – just tell us what you want, if you win. How exciting is that?
