An auction giving people the chance to win once-in-a-lifetime experiences at Glastonbury Festival has raised over £115,00 for charity.
Members of the public were given the chance to bid on tickets and once-in-a-lifetime festival experiences, such as the chance to watch a set from the viewing platform on the Pyramid Stage, take part in the festival's opening ceremony or even hit the 'fire' button on the Arcadia Spider.
In total, the auction raised £116,738 for The Trusell Trust, which supports a network of more than 1,300 food bank centres and provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty.
Emily Eavis, co-organiser of Glastonbury Festivals, said: "We are really pleased to be able to partner with the Trussell Trust, who together with their network of food banks, work tremendously hard during these challenging times to provide food and practical support."
