The Egg! -

[staggerlee]

Craig Charles followed by the Egg IFRL

[Ginganinja]

Wow this looks awesome. Can't wait to go here especially as Craig Charles will be playing there. Anyone got any more info on this area? Does it get really busy? Is it hard to find? It wasn't there the last time I was there (2002).

[staggerlee]

My favourite, late night venue. It's not hard to find, but for some reason people seem to think it is.

It gets busy but compared to Shangri La it's like taking a stroll in the park (no pun intended).

It's actually on the map this year.

Yeah that's true.

There are several secret rooms to the venue which we only discovered last year. Didn't have to answer a riddle, but we did have to crawl for the tunnel.

It was five in the morning though so the riddle person may have retired to bed.

Really, pretty much - i think I struggled with the answer and got bundled in anyway - and I don't remember getting a carrot

haha, it is really hard to imagine some things at glasto if you have never been there. i guess it will be hard for me to get in, my english really could be better

Just mutter a few sentences of your native language, you would have to be pretty uptight to not let a non-English speaking person in for that reason.

With the Rabbit Hole is there a main bit which you can just walk up the hill and go into and is this where the acts mentioned eg Nick Warren will be on? Is the bit where you crawl through the hole etc an extra bit round the back where other stuff will be on? I am confused..

[Totse]

Beans on toast...such a great guy can't wait to see him...if I get in.

Exactly

[Grateful Ghoul]

The fact that to enter Wonderland you had to answer a Lewis Carrol riddle, get given a carrot, then get on your hands and knees and crawl through a winding tunnel lit with fairy lights to enter a secret room and watch Beans and Toast, Egg and Craig Charles is probably the easiest way of explaining why I love Glastonbury so much.

Is there anywhere else on earth that can offer this kind of escape from mundane day to day life?
