A number of Glastonbury glampers have been left ticketless and out of pocket weeks before the festival after a luxury yurt company went into liquidation.

Festival-goers had booked accommodation and event tickets through Yurtel, based in Corsham, Wiltshire, but have since been told by the company that their bookings will not be fulfilled after it ceased trading on 8 May.

Prices for hospitality tickets and accommodation packages offered by the company ranged from £10,000 up to £16,500.

The BBC has approached Yurtel for comment. Glastonbury Festival said while it was "disappointing" for those who had booked through the company, it has "no involvement with the operation of Yurtel".

A rescued bobcat has moved into his new enclosure this week, while sunny spring days have made way for foggy mornings.

Meanwhile, an unusual exhibition has opened at Bath Spa University.

Take a look through our pictures from across Somerset this week.

Haunting scene: A BBC weather watcher captured this atmospheric image of the fog coming up over Evercreech, illuminated by the full moon.

Rising fog: Somerset photographer Ambient Dawn Photography also captured the fog rising over the Somerset Levels at sunrise.

Bobcats galore: Bode is thriving at his new home in Somerset. The north American bobcat needed a new home after his former owner was convicted of animal welfare offences.

Tropiquaria Zoo, near Watchet, has opened a new enclosure for Bode. The Bournemouth Bobcats – an American football team – opened it in a ceremony last weekend.

Crafted roses: The Nailsea Shedders new taster Arts and Crafts Courses at No 65 High Street have been running since Christmas 2024 and are a big hit with participants. Recently, the class focussed on constructing metal roses.

Wonderful wool: Claudy Jongstra's art exhibition has been unveiled at Locksbrook Campus, at Bath Spa University. The exhibition shows the artist's "commitment to ecological justice" through hand-felted wool.

Farmers say they "desperately" need wet weather after the sunniest April on record.

One farmer from Northamptonshire said he would take whatever rain he could get as both his arable crops and his fodder grass were gasping for water.

Many farms suffered a bad harvest last year because of the relatively high rainfall, and are now facing the same pressure thanks to the sun.

A cider maker in the county said the warm weather was making his apples sweeter and making alcohol levels "a bit higher".

The Met Office said provisional figures showed 2025 had had the sunniest April since records began in 1910.

There were 47% more sunshine hours than the long-term meteorological average.

At Pear Tree Farm in Aldwincle near Thrapston in Northamptonshire, Tim Hankins was celebrating a small downpour on Sunday night.

"We'll take whatever we can get. We desperately, desperately need wet weather," he said.

"April showers – where were they?"

A thunderstorm warning has been issued for parts of the East of England for Monday afternoon until 22:00 BST, including Northants.

He added that he needed rain not just for his arable crops but also for the grass he grows to feed his sheep and cattle.

He said his barley and wheat were "very stressed – a bit like I am".

"It's going a bit yellow. We've put some fertiliser on 10 days ago and I should imagine today will be the first day it actually gets into the soil," he said.

"We had a bad harvest last year because of all the wet weather, and now we're heading for a bad harvest again with the dry weather – unless we get some rain now."

At Overstone Grange Farm a few miles from Northampton, Tom Harris reported his fields were "just cake and dust which you wouldn't ordinarily expect this time of year".

"We're at the mercy of the weather unless your farm's set up for irrigation, which, in this part of the world, not many farms are," he said.

"All you can do is hope the weather comes good for you."

He has diversified into growing a plant that should like the sunshine – sunflowers.

"They love the sun and turn their heads turn towards it, but they went in the ground last week and they need moisture to get a bit of a start," he said.

At Saxby's Cider in Farndish near Wellingborough, the fruit Phil Saxby and the team rely on is not quite as dependant on good weather.

He said apples had "got deep roots and there's moisture further down so there's not so much of a panic".

"If you have a very dry year, we find that the apples generally are a little bit smaller and they're a little bit sweeter so there's a little bit more sugar in there so the alcohol levels are generally a bit higher," he said.
