This year’s sold-out Glastonbury Festival is the biggest on the UK calendar with huge artists like Dua Lipa, Coldplay and SZA headlining.

Tickets online are reselling for more than £400. However, this year there will be five lucky prize-winners who will get in for only £3.99.

The ECHO previously reported how Oxfam has teamed up with Tony Chocolonely to create limited-edition ‘Tony’s Chocolneys’ bars. The bars are only being sold at Oxfam branches and in Oxfam’s online store. Tickets will be hidden in the Milk Caramel Sea Salt and the Dark Almond Sea Salt vegan bars and within the lucky bars there will be a ‘choco coupon’ with a QR code to redeem two free tickets to the festival.

There is a total of five Glastonbury tickets to be found and each ticket permits entry for two people, with the promotion running from April 8 until June 21 (or until stocks last).

With that in mind and with time very much of the essence I decided to head to my closest Oxfam shop to see if I could bag myself some free tickets, after I missed out earlier in the year.

My nearest Oxfam store was on Bold Street in Liverpool city centre and luckily for me they had fresh stock of both flavours. I chose a weighted salted caramel bar and prayed I had picked one with a golden ticket inside.

Unfortunately, I opened the bar to find no prize tickets but aside from the delicious chocolate the bar did contain a useful information sheet containing Tony’s story and mission.

Tony’s Chocoloney was founded back in 2005 by a Dutch Journalist called Teun - which translates to Tony in English - Van de Keuken, after he found out that there are some supermarket chocolate brands that support modern-day slavery.

Last year the collaboration managed to raise £45,000 for charities in West Africa that aim to normalise 100% slavery free chocolate and break the unequally divided cocoa chains.

There is still 1.56 million known cases of child labour and deforestation present in the chocolate industry in Ghana and Côte d’ Ivoire today. Tony’s mission is to combat this trend.

Nicola Matthews, Head of Marketing at Tony’s Chocolonely said: “It’s been amazing to see how our partnership made a real difference last year and we’re excited to keep the momentum going and make an even bigger impact this year.

“Oxfam and Glastonbury are incredible partners to raise awareness of the many issues that continuously affect our world.”

Oxfam has 500 high-street stores in the UK as well as its online store and in any of the stores could be the lucky prize tickets.

Lorna Fallon, Oxfam's Trading Director, said: “This remains an incredible opportunity to give our shoppers the chance to go to the festival this year. It means even more knowing all the money raised from these fantastic chocolate bars goes towards Oxfam’s crucial work fighting poverty around the world.”

While my search for an elusive Glastonbury ticket continues, at least I had some tasty, ethically sourced chocolate to get me through the day.
