The Worthy View pre-erected camp site at this years Glastonbury Festival will have scout-style tents which are a modern, roomier version of a design classic, which were manufactured especially for Glastonbury Festival.

The tents are designed  to withstand the vagaries of the British weather, have been especially commissioned not to contain external guy ropes so that people can return to their tents in the dark without the danger of tripping over them.

The idea behind these tents came from Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis as a way to cut down on the amount of camping equipment which in the past has been abandoned at the end of the Festival. These tents will be able to be re-used year on year. Michael travelled up to the Yorkshire factory to see Glastonbury's 1,000 tents being made, and even tried his hand at sewing one.

Scout-style tents at Worthy View cost £250 for 5 nights. They accommodate 2 people (or a cosy aqueeze for 3) and you can book them online now.
