A WELL-KNOWN chocolate brand is giving customers the chance to win free tickets to Glastonbury.
Tony’s Chocolonely have partnered with Oxfam and the Glastonbury music festival to raise money to fight poverty with limited edition bars.
Five pairs of tickets to the festival will be hidden inside the bars, which will be sold in Oxfam stores around the UK.
Last year’s initiative raised nearly £45,000 for Oxfam’s work tackling poverty and inequality, which Tony’s Chocolonely say coincides with their mission to root out child labour and exploitation within the cocoa industry.

In an attempt to raise even more funds that last year’s giveaway, the chocolate brand has created a new vegan flavour.
The limited edition Glastonbury x Tony’s Chocolonely bars come in two flavours: milk caramel sea salt and dark almond sea salt.
The bars will have five hidden Choco Coupons that can each be redeemed for 2 tickets to the famous Glastonbury Festival 2024.
The lucky fans will be able to see performers such as Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, and Shania Twain, who are all set to play at this year’s festival.
Nicola Matthews, UKI head of marketing at Tony’s Chocolonely, said: “At Tony’s we understand that lasting change happens when we join forces with those who bring us closer to making our mission a reality.

“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.”
Child labour and widespread deforestation remains present in the chocolate industry in Ghana and Côte d’ Ivoire, with poverty understood to be the driving factor behind such exploitation.
"We're so excited to be partnering with Tony's Chocolonely and Glastonbury for a second year on this amazing prize giveaway exclusively for our shoppers,” said Lorna Fallon, Oxfam's trading director.

“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.
“The lucky bars could be anywhere across our shop network and the Oxfam Online Shop – so the race is definitely on!”
The limited-edition Glastonbury x Tony's Chocolonely bars will be on sale exclusively at Oxfam stores and the Oxfam Online Shop from April 8 while stocks last.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
