Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Forget trench foot or a see-through toilet; if you've got a couple of thousand left in your wallet after splashing out on a Glastonbury ticket, you could still live in luxury.

The Love Fields, a family-run business, offers campers the chance of a type of Central Asian B&B: a luxury package holiday that allows you the comfort of a Mongolian yurt to sleep in along with breakfast and dinner included.

How much for the whole festival? A cool £3,600.

As with any property across the country, the price is all about location, location, location: aside from the glamour and the designer linens, The Love Fields offers the closest glamping experience to the festival, with the site just behind Gate C.

The Independent's Hazel Sheffield took a look around to see how the other half lives when the world's most famous music festival comes to Somerset.
