In preparation for the festival, attendees will be considering what essentials to pack - including whether they'll need to carry cash. Thankfully, the organisers of Glastonbury have provided official guidance on this matter. At the festival, a combination of card and cash payments will be accepted.
And do bear in mind that many traders accept cards but not all of them, so do remember to take some cash as well as cards. Cash Machines (ATMs) are spread across five locations around the Festival site, are open 24 hours a day and accept all UK and International cards.
Glastonbury festival attendees discuss the use of cash and card payments at the event, with some recommending taking both as a precaution against card machine outages. I take mostly cash, that way I can keep a track of what im spending plus good if the machines go down. But do take my card as well just in case.
Glastonbury is not cashless but vendors have moved away from physical money in recent years. Visitors should not have a problem paying with credit cards, debit cards or contactless payments around the festival.

Yes. We have more than 850 taps across the Glastonbury site which provide free, safe drinking water. We encourage all Festival-goers to use a reusable water bottle and refill it at any of the taps, bottle refill points, water bars around the Festival.
But attending Glastonbury should be considered among them. Stick to simple styles – black, white, and silver – that can be worn with anything. It's all very normcore and will add a satisfyingly retro flair to every outfit that won't have you compromising on comfort and leaving Somerset with sore soles.
It is possible to leave the car park and return during the Festival. The cars are parked in rows with decent turning space in between the rows and the car pass works each time you enter. Most likely you will be parked in a different place on your return, though.
