Yurtel Folds, Leaving Glastonbury Attendees Holding the Bag

Financial insolvency has led glamping brand Yurtel to liquidate. Some Glastonbury attendees are now ticketless and out thousands of pounds.


Yurtel — a Corsham, UK company that provides glamping services to festival-goers — was forced to halt operations and start liquidating earlier in the month. Attendee hopefuls of Glastonbury have now learned that their lodging packages cannot be refunded, nor do they have the tickets to the Somerset gathering meant to be included in the fee.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Yurtel delivered the news in an email to customers who purchased the packages. “Yurtel provided luxury glamping accommodation and hospitality facilities to festival-goers,” it reads. “It ceased normal trading operations on 8 May 2025 due to insolvency and will commence formal liquidation shortly. It cannot fulfil its future obligations to customers.”

Yurtel’s Glastonbury packages ranged from £10,000-16,500 ($13,544-22,348 USD) and included tickets to the festival set to take place from June 25-29. The email states in no uncertain terms that “tickets to enter the festival have not been purchased” and “accommodation with Yurtel will not be available.”

As a recourse, the company advised would-be attendees to contact Glastonbury for more information on alternatives, going as far as to offer them an email address where they could opt in to have their information turned over to the festival’s organizers. But a Glastonbury spokesperson told the BBC that while they found the turn of events “disappointing,” it has “no involvement with the operation of Yurtel.”

The 2025 edition of Glastonbury features such headliners as Doechii, Neil Young, Alanis Morisette, and Gracie Abrams. Launched in 1970 as the Pop, Blues & Folk Festival, it has come to platform countless electronic music acts, including 2025 headliners such as Four Tet, The Prodigy, Overmono, and Fatboy Slim.
