Hundreds of traders are welcoming their first customers at Worthy Farm today as the gates for Glastonbury Festival open. Crowds of Glasto-goers have been exploring the massive site after setting up their tents, with more than 800 stalls to look around.
Along with the many food traders serving up delicious food from around the world, and produce local to Somerset, there are rows of shops packed with eye-catching clothes, accessories and essentials. The biggest, however, is the pop-up Co-op supermarket spanning 6,000 sq ft.
By early this afternoon there was already a long but fast-moving queue to get inside the shop, which is located near the Other Stage and the Park Home Ground. The chain has said it will stock more than 250 traditional supermarket food, drink and other products such as sun cream and medicines, but it won't be selling alcohol.
