Festival-goers' budgets are being blown on £12 espresso martinis and £12 daiquiris. Eleanor Peake speaks to revellers and does the maths
Festival-goers' budgets are being blown on £12 espresso martinis, £12 daiquiris - and £800 glamping. Eleanor Peake speaks to revellers and does the mathsIt’s 8.30am at Glastonbury and the festival has only just begun to stir. Wander through the site and vans loudly advertise the festival’s many breakfast spots, from bacon sandwiches to scrambled eggs. But proceed with caution. Fancy a breakfast focaccia with sausage, bacon and egg? That will be £15.
Scott plans to eat two meals out a day, at around £15 each. Rather than sipping warm beers as he listens to music, the rest of his budget is going on booze. In total, he expects to spend around £500 while he’s here. He isn’t phased. “I have been to a lot of day festivals and a recent one in Brockwell Park, the beer was about £8.50. Here it’s £6.50, so it’s actually not too bad in comparison to what they could be charging.
Richard, 56, and a Glastonbury local, wishes he wasn’t haemorrhaging money. “It’s not ideal but I’m paying it,” he says. “The drinks prices are what I would pay if I went out in Bristol.” I catch him at the bar by San Remo, purchasing a round of four for his friends, including two beers, a gin and tonic and a strawberry daiquiri. “The daiquiri was £12,” he shrugs.Alice, 28 from Manchester, isn’t budgeting for the festival. “I’m going to just spend. I don’t budget,” she says.
