For more than 200,000 Glastonbury goers it’s a frantic race to Somerset to find a square metre of space in the festival’s crowded campsites and pitch up their tents for the weekend.
But for the rich and famous, the experience looks very different as they enjoy the swimming pools and spa at the five-star hotel Babbington House – 30 minutes from the Worthy Farm site.
The hideaway is a hot spot for A-listers with the likes of Holly Willoughby, Peter Crouch and Abbey Clancy and the Gallagher brothers staying there in previous years.
The famous faces use the chauffeur service to take them from the private members club to the centre of the festival.
Guests at the Grade II listed Georgian house can eat seafood or pizza at the various open-air restaurants found on a spacious freshly mown lawn.

Daybeds are available to watch performances at the festival live from a large screen so guests can ‘channel the festival experience without the crowds’.
For £2,300 festival goers can secure one of the 50 bell tents erected on the 18-acre Somerset estate which are, ‘fully equipped with comfy double beds, fluffy robes and a selection of drinks.’
But while there are staff on hand for guests’ every need, the five-star hotel has a strict rule of no dogs or children allowed to stay which narrows the clientele down further.
Indoor and outdoor pools are to be used at leisure along with a Cowshed spa as the venue is part of the private members club Soho House chain.
The house itself boasts 33 bedrooms and ‘garden-to-table dishes’ in the Orangery.
Meanwhile, campers were left exhausted as they queued for more than two hours at London’s Paddington Station due to cancelled trains after a person died on the tracks yesterday morning.
One festival-goer told the Mail: ‘We haven’t even got there yet and I’m already exhausted by the queues. It’s like they’re punishing us for wanting to have a good time.
‘The gates to Glastonbury officially opened on Wednesday and within two hours all the major campsites were full, leaving people scrambling for the next best spaces half an hour from the main stages. ‘
This year’s event will see headline performances from global stars including pop singer Dua Lipa, British rock band Coldplay and American soul singer Sza, while Canadian country star Shania Twain will play the coveted legends slot.
Other attractions at the festival, which runs until Sunday, include speeches, film screenings and Q&As, circus performances, comedy sets and more.

Later on, PJ Harvey and LCD Soundsystem will warm up for Dua Lipa as she headlines the main stage on Friday night – her Pyramid Stage debut.
The 28-year-old pop star is expected to treat festival revellers to a selection of her hit songs, including Houdini and Training Season from her third studio album, Radical Optimism, released earlier this year.

On Saturday, the main stage will welcome Nigerian stars Femi Kuti and Ayra Starr, followed by US 80s chart-topper Cyndi Lauper and rock band Keane.
