It was in 2022 when I volunteered. I remember it being very hot and there were long queues for the minibus. Everyone waiting was very patient and just happy to be there which was lovely! 😀

My shift was 2pm to 10pm on Thursday and it was steadily busy until about 7pm. On Wednesday some of my friends joined the very long queue at 6am and eventually reached the front at 11:15 am. By the time they got to Spring Ground both of them were absolutely exhausted and would never do it again. I know I couldn't physically queue like that which is why we go into E21 Forward Accessible Campervan site. 😊

@phillyfaddle I don't agree with @tarw about there not being a queue, some people wait for hours on Wednesday morning. Expect to queue when you and the person who you are the PA for collect their access pack and your ticket from the Accessible Arrivals Marquee in the car park. People start queuing overnight just like any other pedestrian gate so depending on what time you arrive will depend on the wait. Wednesday morning is the busiest time. I recommend taking a chair for the queue and plenty of water and snacks. There are toilets but nothing else. I have experienced both entering the festival via the Accessible Arrivals Marquee and working there. I volunteered as an Oxfam steward, my role was checking tickets there.

The shuttle runs from 9am on Tuesday until 8pm on Monday - 24/7. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/getting-here/2592-2/

Having pitched in E21 for many years I have witnessed crowds (100's) of people gathering on Wednesday and Thursday awaiting getting smuggled in. Occasionally security get alerted and they are rounded up and removed. Not sure of the actual route into the festival or who the smugglers are but it happens. The campervan fields have food outlets and toilets so these are probably more appealing than loitering in the car parks awaiting the contact making the meet up call! We once had two blokes without wristbands enter our awning, not realising we were in the caravan. I followed them to the food outlet in E20 and pointed them out to security who removed them.

This will give you a better idea ☺️

See latest post!! ☺️ @morph100 was after 2 spaces 👍🏻

Checking on mine! Nice one @eFestivals 🎉

Just to say that @eFestivals Iggy managed to fix my issue and I am now Gold again! Many thanks, no more adverts!! 🥳

Hi @eFestivals Still the same....

@eFestivals Please can you look into this please? I have also sent you a DM. Thanks!

Indeed we are, even though I have moved to Penzance! 😂

@4AssedMonkey Here is a link to the Sensory Calm Space information - https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/access-information/sensory-calm-space/ - You will probably need to contact the Accessible Team to use them, drop them an email to - accessibility@glastonburyfestivals.co.uk they are a great team! What a great post and I am pleased that you got the help you needed. Well done in seeking that help as I know how hard that part is as I have been there. We felt very much like this after 2023, especially Elton John. I am 62 and my knees can't do it any more so I rented a mobility scooter, coked up idiots were everywhere and even tried climbing over me in my scooter instead of walking round me. It was a miserable experience that was then totally turned around by my 4 self appointed bouncers who protected me and physically pushed people away who tried to get anywhere near me. They were great and transformed the last night into a positive experience. In 2024 we have vowed to avoid the Pyramid on Sunday night, which will hopefully avoid a reoccurrence of this. It helps that we have no idea who SZA is, other than what I have read on here. I have hearing loss so getting into new music is quite hard for me. The Arctic Monkeys were the last new band I got into as like them I come from North Sheffield and understand their accents as my cousins live in High Green. (I recall you being from Sheffield too?) I hope you have a better time this year too. Our aim is to spend more time in The Greenfields, enjoy The Woods, the Theatre and Circus and visit Glastonbury on Sea. The Accessible team had exclusive use of this area on Sunday morning in 2023, (see screenshot) hopefully this will happen again in 2024. People with Mental Health issues can use the Accessible Campsite and facilities so it might be worth looking into. I wish you well for 2024 and hope you return next year. 🤗

We stay in a nearby campsite on Monday night, that gives you the opportunity to fill up before you leave for the festival!

@clarkete Is correct, I have never witnessed anyone wanting a B&W campervan pass instead of an East campervan pass! It's similar to deciding between a VHS or Betamax video player, nobody ever said back in the day they wish they had chosen Betamax! You can still purchase B&W passes, this was taken minutes ago. 🙂

The only people qualified to answer if you would be accepted to use the Accessible Facilities is Nimbus. Firstly you need to apply for either an Access Card or Glastonbury Access Pass, see the links in my post below. They are vetting all applications this year so without an Access card or Glastonbury Access pass you can't apply. If they approve your application you can then apply to use the Accessible Facilities and Campsite, also in the link below. The Co-op will probably sell Lucozade but I don't know what volume. Probably only cans as they have to follow the no glass or plastic bottles can be sold on site rule, as do all stalls. Shade is plentiful in the Theatre & Circus tents, likewise in Woodsies, Acoustic and Avalon stages. There are also calm zones available via the Accessible Facilities. Good luck! 🤞🏻

If you booked in the same group SeeTickets will change it to your name for a £25 fee. 😊

You will need to park the additional car in one on the festival car parks as there is no parking at Bath & West apart from tow cars with a caravan/trailer tent.

I did accidentally last year on a re-entry! I had forgotten to take my ticket and pass out from the caravan. My wristband was too tight and I needed to exchange it. I bumped into someone I had volunteered with in the past who took me straight to the wristband area, bypassing the re-entry ticket check. New wristband fitted and in I went. It was only when I went to pass out of the festival I realised I didn't have my ticket. My husband had to go back to the caravan and get it for me! 😂

Nothing showing, I have sent you a DM with my email address. 🙂
