Last year first i'd missed since 2003. Go to a couple shows over the weekend. Watch a few bits on telly. Its no biggie, honestly, this year looks like a goody to miss.
Have done the G with both kids as infants. It aint easy/straightforward but you will look back on those years fondly.
- Get a sling and ear defenders and practice using both together starting asap!
- Ensure a partner is fully onboard, Glasters as a single parent would be too tough imo
- Procure a decent stroller/buggy with the biggest wheels you can get
- Waterproof picnic blanket/brolly
Reflection of what I value and the festival's direction diverging. Not to sound glib but I feel sorry for kids going to Glasters who like guitar music nowadays. I'm old, ignore me, honestly. Its like asking a pterosaur their opinion on taxation policy.
hehe im the same. 20 years ago knew vast maj of the performers announced for late night area. Now im sat here chuckling cuz Ellis Dee is probably the best thing announced so far across any stage.
He's clarified above in fairness.
Agree with you that there isnt much socialising. If youre stuck at the tent putting kids to bed whilst others are out for the evening, prolly best to put the nut down too. Unlikely that peeps are standing around family camping boozing.
Enormo queues at the cafe next to Wicket. Nice indoor seating tho - v helpful for those with tiny ones. Lockups next door to cafe also. I was really pro-Cockmill back in the day but with William's Green's demise the area isnt quite so attractive anymore.
- Wicket has lots of room. You'll have no issue arriving on the Wednesday.
- Toilets are well maintained and respected.
- Vibe is good. People watch out for each other. Not sure about the level of cooperation you suggest above however. Would really doubt you're gonna get people to look after each others kids.
