Tree huggers featured in Channel 4 series

GLASTONBURY business Middlewick participated in Channel 4’s Four in A Bed and although they didn’t win, it was a great showcase for the family-run enterprise. With more than 750,000 tuning into the daytime television show, it was great publicity for Jill Barker and their spa manager Inez Findlay. The filming took place during lockdown with four competing establishments fighting for top place in the competition. Jill said: “It was never about winning the show, we were never going to be game players like some competitors. Inez and I went on the show to have a fun time and show off Middlewick and the Spa at Middlewick for the magical place that it is here in Glastonbury.” One of the highlights was the Middlewick-hosted activity. Each competitor had to take part in an activity that is chosen by the host. Matt Witt from To the Trees took the contestants on a tree walk to the ancient oak trees Gog and Magog that are located at the rear of Middlewick Farm. All the contestants loved a bit of tree hugging with a view of Glastonbury Tor. l The episode is available to watch on Channel 4 On Demand.
