A volunteer at Glastonbury has revealed the incredible staff privileges she experiences at the world-famous festival.

Day two kicked off yesterday at the festival, held on Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, which goes on until Sunday evening and saw more than 200,000 music lovers arrive before fireworks lit up the sky on night one.

But as revellers prepare to form orderly queues for Portaloo toilets, while paying up to £6.75 for a pint of beer, a volunteer working as a caterer at the site has revealed her experience couldn't be any more different.

Stef Smith, from the UK, is a volunteer at The Occasional Kitchen, a company providing catering services at Glastonbury.

Posting a clip to her TikTok page, @stef_smith_af, the volunteer detailed the perks she enjoys as part of her job, including flexible shift hours, exclusive areas reserved for staff and free food.

Responding to a question asked by one of her 66,000 followers, regarding what type of volunteering job she's doing at the festival, Stef said: 'I'm basically helping to serve the crew... kitchen support... and things like that.'

She added: 'I'm basically doing three shifts. Tomorrow from 7am until 4pm, and then my next shift is on Wednesday from 12.30pm until 9.30pm, and then I've got a final shift on Thursday which is 7am until 4pm.'

Stef went on to explain the areas she gets exclusive access to, as well as the free food she is entitled to.

She said: 'I get one meal a day when I'm working, access to the crew camping, I get to go to all of the crew bars, as well as any of the shortcut routes that only the crew can go on.

'I also get access to the crew showers as well, which are a lot better than the ones in the general camping. Toilets are better. Lots of stuff is better.'

In return for her volunteering work, Stef is even awarded the opportunity to experience the festival outside of her working hours - and because her shifts end before 9pm, she is able to enjoy a round of festivities each night.

She said: 'In return for doing that, I get to enjoy the festival. I was really lucky, actually, because I originally did try and get tickets and I didn't get them.'

'It was the lady who owns this company that saw my TikTok, and she reached out to me and asked if I want to volunteer with them - obviously I'm going to say yeah!

A number of current and former volunteers at the festival shared words of support for Stef, with some left impressed by her 'lucky' shift pattern

'I've been so anxious because usually, I would want to come with a group, but I'm not going to pass up on an opportunity like this to come on my own.'

A number of current and former volunteers at the festival shared words of support for Stef, with some left impressed by her 'lucky' shift pattern.

One person wrote, 'What a sweet deal,' while another commented, 'Oh, you got lucky with your shifts!!!!'

Another said, 'Backstage is so much better than general public just for the loos and showers alone,' while a fourth wrote, 'Steph that's perfect as literally the music starts Thursday about the time you finish. Quick shower in hospitality and off you go!'
