Luckily for me there is a decent gang of us going so I'll be well looked after. I don't think I'd have managed it alone. Thanks for your consideration though, you're very kind

I've really cut down on my drinking the last few months after my wife became ill with cancer. Just wanted to always be available and useful. We were supposed to be coming to Glasto together but she died last month. I've kept the reduced alcohol intake up since to try and protect my mental health and I'm planning on keeping it up. I think I'll bring a few AF cans just for the taste and have the occasional cider. It's gonna be hard enough being there without her without adding in the emotional roller-coaster that being drunk causes in me... It's helpful reading everyone else's stories, definitely assists me with the resolve. Good luck everyone who's also trying it for the first time

It's a good little festival - decent variety of music and comedy. Big enough to get some big names, small enough to be able to get about easily. Friendly crowd. Downsides are particularly expensive drinks. I've been a few times and like it. Never been sold on the idea of dogs being there, mostly seem to see stressed looking pooches at the back of crowds and the occasional one in a noisy tent looking really unhappy.
