Do not make glass-bottle cola your default for festival camping: an organiser may prohibit glass, and Glastonbury Festival has published a rule saying it can be confiscated. Choose individual cans if your event permits them; keep glass bottles for a meal before entry, off-site accommodation or a campsite whose current rules expressly allow glass. For either format, compare the exact cola label if sugars, sweeteners or caffeine matter to your choice.
If you are packing cola for a campsite, the organiser’s container rules matter before the brand or bottle size. Glastonbury Festival has published a rule prohibiting glass on its site; check the current terms for your own event.
Individual 330ml glass bottles are an option for a meal before the festival or at off-site accommodation. Taking them into a campsite is a separate decision that depends on that event’s rules.
If you are choosing between regular and no-sugar cola, compare the nutrition panel and ingredients on the exact pack. Container format alone does not tell you what is in the drink.
Check the event’s container rules first, then choose a manageable pack size and compare the labels of the cola variants you would drink.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Container rules | Read the current prohibited-items and campsite terms for your named event. Check glass and cans separately; a non-glass container is not automatically permitted. | I want to take my drinks through entry without choosing a container the organiser prohibits. Glastonbury Festival has published a no-glass rule, but my event may have different terms. |
| Cola label | Compare sugars per serving and per 100ml on the exact pack. Read the ingredients and any sweetener notices if they matter to your choice. | Regular and no-sugar variants are not interchangeable for my preferences. For example, Joybuy’s Coca-Cola Original Taste listing states 35g sugars per 330ml; I would check the current label when choosing a pack. |
| Pack and carrying | Count the 330ml servings needed for your group. Consider who will carry the multipack and where its empty containers will go. | A case may provide enough individual drinks, but I still have to get it to where it will be used. Glastonbury Festival advises attendees to bring only what they can carry themselves. |
A rule against glass can apply regardless of the drink or bottle size. Glastonbury Festival has published a rule prohibiting glass anywhere on its site and saying it may be confiscated.
Read your event’s current entry and campsite terms before ordering. If glass is prohibited, choose a format the organiser permits.
If glass is confiscated at entry, you lose the drinks you brought in those bottles.
A 330ml bottle or can does not, by itself, identify the cola’s sugars or ingredients. Joybuy lists 35g sugars per 330ml for Coca-Cola Original Taste, while other cola variants have different formulations.
Compare the exact pack’s per-serving and per-100ml nutrition information, then read its ingredients and notices.
Your Coca-Cola UK lists a glass-bottle case containing 24 individual 330ml bottles. A case needs to be carried to its place of use, and empty bottles need appropriate disposal.
Keep glass off-site unless your organiser expressly allows it. Plan how you will carry your drinks and take all empty packaging to an appropriate waste or recycling point; GOV.UK outdoor fire-safety guidance says not to leave bottles or glass in woodlands.
These examples show formats to compare; a brand’s presence here does not establish what your festival permits.
Your Coca-Cola UK lists Coca-Cola Original Taste in a 24 x 330ml glass-bottle case. Joybuy lists a separate 24 x 330ml canned product.
British Hypermarket lists regular Pepsi in 12 x 330ml glass bottles; regular Pepsi and Pepsi Max also appear in can multipacks.
Tesco Groceries lists Tesco Classic Cola 8 x 330ml in its cola-cans category.
These 24 x 330ml cola can multipacks are options for individual servings if your festival permits cans. They are not glass-bottle alternatives for an event that also prohibits cans.

This is the canned multipack, not Coca-Cola’s glass-bottle case, so check that your event permits cans. Joybuy lists 35g sugars per 330ml serving for this product; compare the current label if sugars matter to your choice.
Check the current rules for your named festival before buying it. Glastonbury Festival has published a rule prohibiting glass anywhere on its site, including campervan fields, and saying it may be confiscated; that rule does not establish the terms of other events.
Choose cans for individual cola servings when your event permits them but does not allow glass. Glass bottles can instead be used before entry or at off-site accommodation; only take them onto a festival site if its current rules expressly allow them.
Compare the exact product labels, using the same serving size and checking both sugars and ingredients. Joybuy lists 35g sugars per 330ml for Coca-Cola Original Taste; for a no-sugar variant, also read its sweetener information and any label notices.
Take them away from the campsite or use an appropriate waste or recycling point where one is provided. GOV.UK outdoor fire-safety guidance says not to leave bottles or glass in woodlands.
