Glastonbury Free Press

[FuzzyDunlop]

I have seen posters, but never seen any stalls with the paper itself. Is it a daily thing? Where can you get it from?

[stewieee]

The paper comes out Thursday and Sunday (I think), you can get a copy for free at an information point (only a limited number are printed so they can run out fairly quickly).

 

The Free Press tent itself (where the printing press is and where you can buy the posters) is located in the corner of the Circus field right next to where the entrance to the Theatre field is.

[FuzzyDunlop]

Thank you. Is there a digital copy?

 

I have requested an announcement in it and would like to get hold of one.

[stewieee]

I don't think there is a digital copy of them. As long as you visit an information point on the morning they come out you should have no problems getting hold of a copy...the difficult bit is protecting your copy from rain/mud/getting creased if you intend to take it home!

Fair to say that the press has been somewhat temperamental - the first year they used it (2013?) they only got out a paper on the final day.

 

The Q Daily wasn't great, but it was there.

 

Information points the best place to try

[efcfanwirral]

Yep information points- there isn't a specific stall for them

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Yes there is.  The press is somewhere near Circus field (I think).

We'll be printing two editions again this year - one released on Thursday and another on Sunday. Should be available from the info points again, I imagine. It's looking great, too  

[davidjcolbran]

Yep in the Circus field and last year they had posters from it for sale online after the festival - handy again to avoid carrying it / damaging them. They were also doing printing workshops.

I'm sure that back in the 90s there was a free paper (8 pages max) that came out every day and had reviews of the previous days fun, as well as previews for that day, interviews and running order etc.  Along with Worthy FM it really made the fest seem like the self-contained city  it is.

 

Or am I just imagining it?

Yes there was the Select Daily, later the Q daily, and briefly the Firelighter. The Free Press in only three years old, and looking hugely improved this year. I did the layout and design last year, and am working on it to a slightly lesser degree this time round. Get hold of a copy if you can, and give it a chance

I certainly will, if I see one.  Just a shame it isn't every day. Maybe next year...

Sshhh, I want to see some of the festival!

You should consider maybe selling poster tubes?

[verrymerry]

They did, in the Circus Field where it was being printed along with other posters

[Anderson19]

Seriously? I asked last year and they said they didn't have them.

Ive brought my own to take this year.

[verrymerry]

Ohh no I'm mistaken according to the less-drunk other half, they just put them in plastic.  I've no idea where I got that rubbish from so sorry!

[bigbilly]

Got all the posters framed on Mt wallcthey look ace. Any chance of saving Me a pack of posters dog burger will pay accordingly!
