Once in a lifetime Glastonbury Festival 2023 experience packages go to charity auction

By Laura Linham 9th Feb 2023

Have you got a few grand to spare?

If so, how would you like to come to Glastonbury 2023 and watch a set from the Pyramid Stage viewing platform? Or press the Arcadia spider's fire button?

For the next week, you can bid on once-in-a-lifetime Glastonbury experiences – each with a pair of 2023 tickets – with all proceeds (minus auction listing costs) going to the Trussell Trust.

Money raised will support the charity's network of food banks to provide emergency food and practical support, as well as work towards a future without the need for food banks in the UK.

Emily Eavis, co-organiser of Glastonbury Festival, said: "We are really pleased to be able to partner with the Trussell Trust, who, together with their network of food banks, work tremendously hard during these challenging times to provide food and practical support for communities all over the country. We hope this rare ticket auction will help raise significant funds to support their remarkable work."
