ANYONE heading to Glastonbury music festival later this month don’t have to be part of the great unwashed at the end of it all. A Reading hotel is offering free showers.
The Ibis on Friar Street is the place to head, along with sister hotels in Bridgwater, Bristol and Bristol Temple Meads Quay, but only on Monday, June 26.
And if you think Reading is too far to go for a wash and brush-up, there are 200,000 people departing Worthy Farm, meanings Reading on the route home for many.
Ibis says the showers will be free of charge, but there is a limited capacity at each hotel and slots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, between 9am and 3pm.
Hotel spokesperson Chris Timbs said: “Glastonbury is famous for the best music and mud in the world! Always one of the highlights of the UK’s summer with an incredible lineup of musicians, whether it’s the up-and-coming artists or global superstars you’re there to see. After the mud and partying, festival-goers will be in need of a warm refreshing shower and we’re here to help.
“We’re passionate about music and hospitality, so a quick shower en route home from arguably one of the best festivals in the world is our way of making the weekend even better for music fans.”
To secure a shower time slot, email ibisglastoshowers@accor.com before noon on Wednesday June 21, providing a preferred hotel.
