Co-op at Glastonbury Festival praised for ‘decent’ prices

The little Co-op shop at Glastonbury Festival is being praised for actually having ‘decent’ prices.

The legendary event kicked off earlier this week with music-lovers being entertained by a whole host of incredible acts until Sunday 25 June.

And even at Worthy Farm, no festival camping experience is complete without waking up with an energy drink and scranning snacks with your mates.

You spend a good few days packing your bags full with the things you need, doing a big shop at the supermarket and trying to work out who owes who for that packet of biscuits.

You walk in with packs of crisps and nuts dropping from your back pack with a box of cereal tucked under your arm and tubes of Pringles sticking out of your pockets.

But what happens when you run out of soft drinks to mix your alcohol with? Or when you get the munchies for a flavour of crisps you forgot to bring?

Luckily, there’s a Co-op on site at Glastonbury so attendees never go short.

They’ve got all sorts to stock up campers from bacon and cans of Monster to toilet roll and mouthwash. Snacks galore, toiletries and like, actual food to make a meal out of rather than splashing out at the food stalls around the site.

And that’ll be a necessary store for many as people have been in utter shock at the price of a pint at Glastonbury this year.

A video shared to TikTok gives a tour of the Co-op with the prices seeming relatively normal.

Packs of Fridge Raiders are priced at £2.75, packs of sausage rolls for £3.45, boxes of oranges for £4 and loaves of bread for £1.50.

Users commented in praise of the store to say: “Decent prices for a festival!”

Although one did joke: “Should of let ALDI do the pop-up store.”

The store at the festival also stocks packs of sweets, crisps, biscuits, bin bags, bottles of sauce and paper plates.

But while there are crates of Diet Coke cans and bottles of juice, the Glastonbury Co-Op doesn’t stock any alcohol.

And snaps of Glastonbury bar menus show pints of San Miguel costing a whopping £6.80.

While some pubs in certain parts of the country (ahem, London, ahem) might often charge even £7 for a crisp pint, people are flabbergasted by the festival prices.

One wrote on Twitter: “Just shy of 7 quid for a San Miguel?!"

But, Glastonbury is Glastonbury and many people don’t seem to care too much: “Robbing b*******... can't wait.”
