Jennifer Lederman and her Camp Kerala Team are once again inviting guests to join them over the Festival period for Glastonbury '13.

For those of you who don't yet know Camp Kerala, it has become generally accepted as the easiest, chicest, most luxurious and most chilled way of being at the Festival.

"EASIEST"

We have made getting here virtually problem free. We have an easy access route by car, which enables you to arrive on site missing any possible traffic jams. We have a large Logistics Team who meet you at a pre-arranged rendezvous point and bring you on site. There is 24 hr secure parking on site. The guests who arrive by helicopter are met at our private helipad, which is five minutes away, and brought on site.

Once on site, if you don't feel like walking anywhere then you don't have to. Camp Kerala is situated on the fields which overlook the entire Festival (and the Tor) and is a three minute walk to Gate C. There is a fleet of golf buggies always available to transport you to and from Gate C. If you want to be driven to the Interstage Area, there are a 4x4 vehicles on hand to do that. These arrangements enable guests to dip in and out of the Festival. They can literally join in the gloriousness of the Festival for an hour or so and then come "home".

For those who want to spend all day, and the best part of the night, in the festivities, we have the Camp Kerala Festival Winnebago which is situated in the Interstage Area of the Festival. This is a small oasis of Camp Kerala right in the heart of the excitement of the Festival. Here you will be served drinks, food and there will be the all important Camp Kerala loos.

We run a concierge service and we try to organise anything that is required from airport runs at 4am, to removal of stains on white jackets to delivering exhausted guests back to their homes in time for work on Monday. Guests have frequently commented on the fact that all the Camp Kerala team members have the attitude of "nothing is too much trouble".

"CHICEST"

The Camp Kerala Bar and Chill out areas are considered, by many, to be one of the chicest places to be at the festival.

It has been described by Vogue as "unquestionably one of the most glamorous places to be in the UK". There are large Rajasthani sofa chairs in which guest can recline, drink mojito cocktails prepared by Davide Rivet (from the Blizzard Hotel in Val d'Isere) and soak in the stunning views.

The atmosphere is extremely calm and guests just drift in and out whenever it suits them. They are very welcome to bring up their guests from the Festival to enjoy drinks and food with us.

"MOST LUXURIOUS"

Guests sleep in one of Camp Kerala's authentic, romantic shikar tents. These tents were made by the Maharaja of Jodhpur. They are based on the design of the tents which he uses and his ancestors used for their hunting trips. They were built to the Camp Kerala spec and then filled with Rajasthani furnishings.

Each tent sleeps two, either in a king sized bed or two twin mattresses. The beds are made up with Egyptian cotton sheets, duck down duvets (hypo allergenic available) and jewel spangled Rajasthani covers. The floors are covered in sheepskin. The renowned "Andy Loos" shower blocks are within easy reach of each tent and are considered, by most, to be the most luxurious showers and loos ever experienced. Again in 2013 we are able to offer two extras, an en suite loo plumbed into a tent, which proved popular with some guests this year, and also we can offer an off the floor divan bed.

We run an equivalent service to Room Service. We call it "Tent Service".

"MOST CHILLED-OUT"

The Kerala Spa again will offer anything from holistic massages, to Festival make-up, to spray on tans. Again, nothing is too much of a problem. The Spa Team will be available from 10am until 7pm; there always seems to be time for everyone to have the therapies they want.

All food is included in the price. Brunch is served from 8.30 am until 12pm and then there is an All Day menu with special dishes every day served from 1pm to 1am. As far as possible all produce is locally sourced.

Guests can eat anywhere; in their tents, in the Camp Kerala Festival Winnebago in the Interstage Area, in the Dining Tent, in the sunshine outside the Chill Out Tent or in the Chill Out Tent itself.

We hope to be able to welcome you along to enjoy what is unquestionably the best Festival in the World and let you experience it in the Camp Kerala way.
