Does Glastonbury still have showers?

[drchickenburger]

I remember a while ago it used to have some somewhere but can't see anything on the latest map.

Any ideas?

Due to the enormous demands on our water supply, Glastonbury is not able to offer large numbers of public showers. For those desperate for a shower, there are a small number of showers available at the bottom of the Kidz Field and in the Greenpeace field, but you should expect to queue for a while to use them. Otherwise, we’d just recommend packing some biodegradable wet wipes and making do with those (it’s the Glastonbury way!).

Don't know why it came out looking like that but it's from the info section of the festival website which is where you can find the answers to most questions.

It's great having a shower halfway through the festival, especially if sunny and loads of dust.  As per the above there are showers but not many - wet wipes is what most (well, many) people use.

Both times I went, I showered twice, at the Greenpeace showers. You got a number, go have something for breakfast, back in 30 minutes and that's it. 

It feels like you've been given a brand new life.

Hang one of these from a tree. Bobs your uncle... https://www.amazon.co.uk/Highlander-Solar-Shower-Black-Litres/dp/B0010A377C

You can if careful use a very very small amount of water to completely clean yourself. Try to use soap that is environmentally friendly.

I've only ever used the actually showers there once and that was because I used my mates workers band to get into there camp at the top but gate B and it was lovely. but the rest of the time I have a tried and tested method of wearing board shorts and flip flops and taking a jug with me to the basins at the top of big ground and i have a full top to toe wash once some times even twice a day and i feel like the freshest daisy in the meadow after that.

Personally I'm a fully signed up member of Team Skank and make do with a splash of water on my face, a few wet wipes and a daily change of underwear but somehow I've wound up going with a group that includes members who shower multiple times a day.

We camp on Top Webbs Ash, which is around a 15 min walk to the Showers at the bottom of the Kidz Field and they suggest the queues aren't too bad at all.

I discovered the wonders of showering at a festival when volunteering last year. It was a REVELATION. Especially on the hotter days. Makes you feel fresh and a lot more comfortable in your clothes too. Plus good hygiene is a must

[djdavejohnson]

Ssshhhhh... don't tell everyone otherwise we'll all be at it

Some people may know it already but this dry shower foam smells great and works quite well. A proper shower is always more refreshing though.

Showers? Occasionally yes there are some in between glorious sunshine, just enough to keep the dust down.

[drchickenburger]

I was firmly in the non shower camp when I used to go but the recent festivals I've attended they have been a standard part of the day and i do enjoy that fresh feeling before heading back out and on it. I'll scout the areas mentioned out then to see what they are like. If you are in the 'right' head space I am sure the queue wouldn't be the end of the world either.

That's the wrong order.

Might look into that. Does it leave a load of soapy water everywhere? On the grass I mean.

Never done it but told that the solar showers in the Greenpeace field are OK and the mad queue in the morning can be avoided by going mid-late afternoon.

[pinkmolly226]

the greenpeace showers are great.

I'm a right early bird and all my friends were still in bed so decided to try them while I was waiting on them waking up and the queue wasn't too bad, maybe 10 mins (about 8.30/9am) When my friend went later on she queued for 2 hours.

You need to use their products, which are great but they didn't have conditioner so I just used a leave in one when I got back to the tent.

No not really at all, it's so good had the neighbors queuing. Just fill up with cold and a kettle of hot lovely warm 5 minute shower

[EZYSEY]

Does anyone know when and what time the showers open at the kidz field or greenpeace?

I cannot imagine any circumstances where I would queue for 2 hours for a shower let alone at Glastonbury.  Think of all the things you could be doing instead!
