Food and shopping at this year's Festival

18th June 2019

Glastonbury Festival might be best known for its music and performing arts, but our Markets team also put an incredible amount of effort into providing memorable, creative and vibrant markets across the site. With almost 800 traders offering an amazing array of food and goods, the Markets have become a major attraction in their own right!

GLOBAL CUISINE IN A SOMERSET FIELD

We now have over 400 food traders offering an array of exciting eats. The choices are endless with a huge variety of delicious, world cuisine available.

Even the stalls serving the food are tasty! You can get your refreshments from a 1975 Mercedes Benz fire engine (‘The Fryer Engine’, Kids & Acoustic, pictured above); a Guatemalan Chicken Bus (‘Guicha Coffee’, near Sonic); or a London double decker bus (‘The Tea Stop’ between Williams Green and circus) amongst many others!

FOOD FOR A FIVER

Affordable food is very important to us at Glastonbury Festival and since 2015 many of our Traders have been helping Festival-goers go easy on their pocket, with our Food For A Fiver scheme. This year we have over 300 stalls taking part – over 75% of all our food traders. Participating Traders will feature a Food For A Fiver sticker (as pictured above) and information on their menu boards, so they will be easy to spot.

Our Food For A Fiver scheme makes it possible to sample a huge range of delicious world cuisine without breaking the bank. £5 options could include a smoothie, muesli & coffee breakfast combination, a bowl of homemade ravioli, a kids’ meal and drink, a ploughman’s lunch, a hearty vegetarian salad, a box of chicken, roast potato & gravy or a deal on coffee and cakes for two.
