I don't think there would have been ground coffee and I don't remember any sparkling water either. Remember everything sold has to be in non-plastic containers, so plastic bottles of fizzy water wouldn't be allowed to be sold on site, and I think the canned water everywhere sells at Glasto was only still.

I don't recall seeing coffee but I'll be surprised if they don't do ground coffee. It was a pretty bit big place....🤔

Yeah, I could well be wrong! I took coffee bags last year so wouldn't have been looking out for it. I think last year on efests there was a thread with some tweets from Co-op or maybe a link to their site with a summary of what sort of things would be stocked.

I dunno if anybody can remember if they sold tobacco, papers, vapes etc last year? Just trying to figure out how light I can get away with travelling...

Thanks, just signed up. Bought a pack of ice lollies last year and wolfed them all down. Also had a meal deal for lunch.

It appears as though the Coop at Download fest is doing a click and collect service for the first time this year. Could be v v v handy for Glasto.

There's defo places with papers and tobacco but not sure if the co-op sold them. They had vapes too, can't remember what brand - no disposable ones

What do they sell? I've never been there before. Is it all the non-alcoholic essentials?

 

And most importantly do they do the big bags of salt and vinegar crisps?

Thanks very much for sharing, but that must differ for Glastonbury, at least for plastic crisp packets and bottles. 

This does confirm the tobacco...

Hi Just checked out co-op at Download. There are offers for members so worth singing up. I.e Meal deal £6.50 members £5.50, their salt and vinegar crisps £2.60 members £1.60. It was well stocked. Large ice cubes £2 a bag. Soya, oat and cows milk. Gluten free bits. Cans (various case sizes) and wine boxes 2 litre sav blanc £20 or 3 litre Shiraz £30. Hope that helps a bit x

i think the most common asked question on here is around mixers .... anything to report on that ?

Very interesting on the wine front.

Not interesting really.

The stock is different for each Co-op festival store, Glasto has a bunch of rules to not upset the other traders and bars, plus there are rules about packaging (no single use plastic) so that affects the types of drinks and crisps etc that can be sold. I wouldn't pay too much attention to the specifics of the Download/IOW/Latitude stock.
