MY usual Glastonbury haunt, The Rabbit Hole, is missing from Worthy Farm this year after the White Rabbit hung up his hat. The parties were legendary and, over the years, I danced there until dawn with celebs including Noel Gallagher , Rita Ora , and Princess Eugenie , while revellers dived into the hot tub after drinking cocktails by the dozen. But thankfully all is not lost — Soho House has come to the rescue and created a brand new pop-up, which is by far the coolest and most exclusive place to be at this year’s festival.
After the team and I touched down at Worthy Farm yesterday, like a homing pigeon I flew straight over to check it out — my secret “Hideout” entrance key card in hand. Picante cocktails were already flowing inside the uber-cool area, which has been decked out in classic Soho House style — with beautiful scented candles making me feel like I was in a five-star hotel, not a field packed with Portaloos. As well as their trademark spicy Picantes, Soho House was serving up Casa Verde cocktails, which tasted just like a Caipirinha, in honour of their new Soho House Sao Paulo venue.
It’s a tough gig, but someone’s got to review them. And luckily there were plenty of dirty burgers on offer to soak up the booze while I wrote this. As well as a bar for well-heeled punters, there is a super-exclusive VIP area which, I’ve no doubt, will be packed to the rafters this weekend with big stars such as Dua Lipa and Chris Martin toasting their headline sl.
