A Glastonbury Festival attendee has left people horrified after sharing the reason they take two tents to Worthy Farm – as many have questioned the morals behind the ‘hack’
Glastonbury Festival-goers couldn’t believe it after one attendee revealed they brought two tents to Worthy Farm, and the reason is grim.
Festival veterans were left horrified by an eye-opening tactic shared by a Glastonbury fan that has caused quite the divide among the public.
The controversial method of ensuring privacy at the iconic festival involved taking along an extra tent for a rather unsavoury purpose, leaving fellow festival lovers shocked and some deeply unimpressed.
According to a scandalous admission on the social media account Fesshole, an individual confessed to their crafty way of evading long toilet lines. But not everyone found the strategy as savvy as intended.
One person admitted on X: “Went to Glastonbury. Took two tents with me, one to sleep in and the other I erected a few tents down, dug a hole and placed an upturned bucket over it. My own personal toilet. When I left I just packed up my sleeping tent and left the toilet one. Would definitely do it again.”
Opinions among festival attendees varied vastly, with one person applauding the move as an “ingenious Glastonbury hack.” Another hailed it as a “genius idea.”
Yet for some, this sordid plan may have been a festival-goer’s final straw. Disturbed by the thought, one potential attendee wrote: “Reason number 378 why I wouldn’t go to Glastonbury.”
Another fumed: “The smell coming out of that tent after day one..” A third user added: “You don’t deserve a ticket.”
Glastonbury Festival advocates strongly for using the proper lavatory facilities provided on-site. The festival’s official guidance urges attendees to only make use of the allocated toilets.
Their guidance reads: “Glastonbury Festival has a variety of toilet types and all are cleaned at least once a day. Please don’t pee anywhere except in the loos. Urine can kill fish and wildlife in the streams and pollute our beautiful farm.
“All Festival loo points have either hand washing or hand sanitiser facilities – make sure you use them. You are more likely to catch a bug from not washing your hands than from any other source.”
The festival takes pride in offering a multitude of conveniences, from long drops and compost toilets to standard portable units.
Another community member voiced their suggestion online, proposing that a personal camping loo might be more sensible than leaving behind a tent marred by waste.
One individual penned: “I feel like a regular camping toilet would be easier and cheaper, both for you and the (I assume) volunteers who clean it up.”
Meanwhile, someone else suggested there was a minimal environmental impact. They added: “You know, if the hole was deep enough, and you replaced all the earth back on top, it would actually be reasonably acceptable.
“You could’ve taken the tent down and left very little trace. Shame you had to be a d**k.”
