Yurtel operated outsideGlastonbury’s borders but offered hospitality tickets to the festival,
A luxury glamping provider serving Glastonbury festivalgoers is going into liquidation, leaving its wealthy guests without their yurts or chauffeured rides to the Pyramid Stage.
Yurtel, a pioneer of luxury camping, operated for 17 years and boasted of running “the only luxury camp that can drive our guests straight into the festival to our on-site festival reception”.
The yurts and bell tents, restaurant, cocktail bar and wood-fired hot tubs are beyond the festival’s borders but customers could enjoy a five-minute drive to the hospitality area behind the Pyramid Stage.
Yurtel described their luxury tents as “the finest canvas accommodation available”
Guest chefs who have designed menus at the camp include Thomasina Miers, the MasterChef winner and founder of the Wahaca restaurant chain, and Ravinder Bhogal, who is behind the Jikoni restaurant in London.
Glamping sites that are not part of Glastonbury can pay the organisers for an allocation of hospitality tickets to offer to guests, but after the news of their liquidation the festival said that Yurtel had not requested or paid for any tickets this year, despite taking bookings.
Yurtel’s founder, Mickey Luke, 49, whose full name is Michael Geoffrey Paul Suenson-Luke, lives in Bath with his wife, who is a jeweller, and their three children.
The company’s registered office address was a £2 million grade II listed detached home in the village of St Catherine, on the outskirts of Bath.
‘Tickets have not been purchased on your behalf’

I wonder how long before they stopped taking money did they know it was heading for insolvency?

never trust a Hippy...
 
That'll be Charli XCX on TV on Saturday night. Not the best live performer...

I'll be watching Weezer on iPlayer on Saturday anyway.
 
Went last year, it’s an absolutely incredible place. Only people who slag it off are people who have never been or people who went decades ago who are now miserable old cunts and claim the line ups are shit and it isn’t “what it was”.

Fair few TBA’s on the lineup. A friend of a friend claims to have seen who they are and that’s:

Friday Pyramid - Lewis Capaldi
Saturday “patchwork” Pyramid - Pulp
Saturday Woodsies - Lorde
Saturday The Park - Haim

Wunderhorse, Amyl & The Sniffers, Weezer, Royel Otis, Snow Patrol, Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, Turnstile, Wolf Alice, Deftones, The Prodigy and The Maccabees all well worth a watch if they’re shown on TV.

All my best memories of Glastonbury do not involve watching any of the bands on the main stages. It starts to get good at 3am....

Best place in the world for me, gutted I've missed the last 3 years now.
 
Wunderhorse are a great band live. Not overly impressed with the headliners though. “Smaller” bands that aren’t the top top headliners are great though.

Looking forward to watching Pulp and Haim.
I haven't seen the full line up but I'll be sat at home on the bbciplayer all weekend.
