So you didn’t manage to bag yourself a ticket to Glastonbury? Do the next best thing and throw a Glasto-inspired party at home. Create the festival vibe by decorating your outdoor space, serving up delicious drinks and food-truck style bites, and turning up the volume on your playlist. Most importantly, assemble your crew for a guaranteed great time, even if you’re not at Worthy Farm …
Set the mood
Get the buildup going before the party starts. Why not send out invites in the form of DIY backstage passes – letting your friends know they can enjoy “access all areas” to your kitchen (food trucks), garden (Pyramid stage) and VIP toilet facilities. Don’t be shy about suggesting a theme – boho chic? – and start a Glasto group chat to get the hype building.
Create the magic
There’s nothing beige about Glastonbury so when setting the scene, go bright. Dress your garden with colourful festival flags and banners, string up bunting and hang paper lanterns from trees. You can even include a tent for the ultimate festival touch while burning incense sticks will give that authentic festival scent.
