Bars at Glastonbury 2022



Information on this page will be updated ahead of Glastonbury 2023.

As always, Glastonbury Festival presents a myriad of bars across the site. With more venues than ever, you’ll never be far from your favourite tipple. Whether it’s real ale, a pint of local cider or a fabulous cocktail, you won’t be disappointed.

Firm favourites such as the Meeting Place, West Holts Bar, the Cockmill, Avalon Inn, the Park Bar and the Cornish Arms will be making a welcome return and are all stocked to the brim, ready for your arrival. Keep your eyes peeled for the unique Brew Bars dotted within the markets selling an alternative selection of craft ales and premium drinks, and the two dedicated Tennessee Whiskey Bars within the Meeting Place and Cockmill. These mini-bars will be serving cocktails or straight on the rocks (perhaps with a refreshing twist!).

This year we also welcome two new bars – The Taphouse (situated in Leftfield) and The Elephant Bar (near the Pyramid Stage). The Taphouse will be selling a thirst-quenching range of craft keg beers and real ales straight from cask, bringing great beer and tunes to the heart of the markets! The eye-catching Elephant Bar is a new venue not to be missed. Two giant elephants stand guard, whilst refreshing craft beer and DJ’s await those who dare to discover this bar’s secrets.

So to help you on your travels, why not visit one of the many bars at the end of your journey or at the Meeting Place to catch up with friends. The variety of bars is endless, find your favourite!

Although a great place to sit back, chill and enjoy the live music taking place on the West Holts stage, in between artists the West Holts Bar will be featuring its own entertainment, including live bands, DJ’s and the Festival-Famous “Big Fat Festival Quiz” which will be making a welcome return.
