For some folk, the image to the left will not apply at Glastonbury this year whatever the weather. That’s because they’ll be at Camp Kerala, a compound of 75 “tents” which overlooks the festival proper from a position of opulence most of us could only ever dream of.
When I say tents, I mean tents bought from a workshop started by the Maharajah of Jodhpur. Containing beds with sequinned Indian quilts and bottles of Chateau Margaux. The transport to this luxury goes beyond your mate’s hatchback and a trudge across some fields, too. Helicopters and golf buggies, to be exact. Massages, foie gras and - possibly best of all - hot showers are also the order of the day.

Unsurprisingly such a package don’t come cheap. £3000 is the price tag for all this loveliness, and yes, there are some still available if you’re interested. But be quick - all but 10 have been snapped up. Quick, count your loose change! Sell your gran!
I’d love to know who the most popular act is with the gazillionaires willing to fork out £3000 to spend a weekend in a posh tent. And what if they want to get close to the action? I guess they could always hover before the Pyramid Stage in their choppers, whipping rain and mud into the eyes of the hoi polloi below… Actually, that sounds like fun…
