Greenpeace Showers

[K2SO]

I'm going with my girlfriend for the first time this year, and she is banging on about showers.

I haven't used them before, but she is eager... However, she wanted to know if they are cubicles or communal. Can anyone answer please?

Gents are communal, not sure about the ladies

[loulouboo]

ladies are communal too. You have to use their eco friendly shower wash-  it was ecover last year. You get a numbered ticket and can go off and come back if time. 

[MetaKate]

Yeah they're communal for the ladies as well. Tell her to just wear a swimsuit if she's shy. Like loulou said, you can only use their eco friendly shampoo.

Are there any other showers on site? I know there are some at kidzfield too. Are they the same setup as greenpeace?

Do the male queues tend to be smaller/quicker than the female ones?

Imagine the difference between gents and ladies toilets at a gig and multiply it. 

Normally hardly any queue for guys and a huge one for ladies. 

Either because men don't care about smelling or less bits to worry about washing.

Sorted! I've never bothered with the showers before but may give them a try this year as they defo wash away the hangover and set me up for the day.

I was in a tipi last year and had probably three showers over the festival and it felt so good. I'm not sure that I'm so worried if it's a dry fest, but if you've been balls deep in mud then fuck me it's nice to feel clean for once.

Another asking for the girlfriend (honest) do they have certain opening hours? Or is a shower on way back from shangri la at 5am possible?

[Tommy101]

My girlfriend swears by them and has done for the last 3 years.

Might be something to put on my 'Something new at Glastonbury this year' list.

Women's were quicker than mens on both occasions I had them last year. My girlfriend and I got tickets same time - I was waiting longer...

I asked this in an earlier thread. Seems they open at 7am.

It's just queue and wait, can take an age if you go at the wrong time.

The majority are communal but there was one separate which I used no door but separate, think I was just lucky it was free though

[The_Amazing_Oblong]

Wasn't too many years ago that they were fully communal. The looks on some peoples faces when they entered and realization hit was pretty amusing.

Never usually bother showering but in the 2010 heatwave i woke up drenched in sweat and couldn't sleep in the heat so went up to Greenpeace. Turned out to be a lovely experience as you just grab a number, mooch around the area, grab brekkie, just keep popping back every now and again to see where they're up to. I probably waited 2 hours from 7am but doesn't feel like a wait when you're not stood in a queue
