Lycra

Queues will start forming at the gates on Tuesday evening and swell through the night, so by the time the gates open those just joining the queue may have a wait of 2hr+ to get in. Obviously popular camping fields fill quickest so any arrival plans start with when can we arrive and where would be like to camp.

The summer solstice in 2019 was Friday the 21st making 26 - 30 2019 the first weekend after the solstice (Friday 28th being the first Friday after the solstice)

The summer solstice in 2024 is Thursday 20th June so the first Friday after is the 21st

The only time we ventured to the pub in Pilton on the Tuesday night it was anything but restful. It was heaving, standing room only and took ages to get served. We weren't able to get food and headed off back after a just 1 jar! Not something I'd personally repeat.

Entry level as in you don't want to go thinner

It's traditionally held the first weekend after the summer solstice

The 2024 summer solstice is Thursday 20 June so GF will probably be 19 - 23 June...........10 weeks after 8 April

Since festival goers need an accommodation booking to enter WV and get their wristbands etc, in theory it's not possible for your friends to enter via the WV gate. Its also very difficult to get to the other pedestrian access gates ( PGD nearest) from the WV car park.

It's far more than a 15min walk around the parimeter and there are areas with no public access which require lengthy detour. I'd enter through the coach queue at gate A and cut across the site. Probably work out much quicker.

This is one of the trolleys/trucks that people have had issues taking in the past. It comes down to the space available in the luggage compartment and how tight the driver's pants are! Some people have had to ditch them at the pick up whilst others (me 😃) have had no problems. My advice is to strap everything you can onto the truck so your gear comes as one to minimise its footprint and get to the front for loading. However if space runs out the driver can and will refuse to carry non-essential items such as trucks/trolleys, chairs and packs of ale 😫 etc

No issues here either

You can update your address on your registration at anytime via this link on the GF website https://glastonbury.seetickets.com/registration/lookup

Wonder how the younger element feel about having 3 old bands/artists as pyramid headliners?

When you're thirsty one gulp doesn't touch the sides 😇

If you're in a group perhaps you could consider someone acting as Lead Booker. That way all the tickets would go to their address and you would save on postage costs.

You can update your address on the registration at any time, however your problem is one of timing. Mid-May and the first 2 weeks of June is the normally the time when tickets are posted so changing address in this period comes with a risk. I'd consider using a safe third party address to give greater certainty.

There are no public shower blocks in any of the campsites. There are a few shower facilities provided by third party enterprises or charities for which fee or donation may be charged. A trip to the shower often involves a lengthy walk (20-30mins).

I recall people last year posting photos of themselves queuing and it hadn't even reached 9pm on Tuesday evening.

Not all trolleys will fit in a saloon car boot, especially those with larger wheels. We can only accommodate our trolley having half of back seat down and running it through from the boot.

It can get quite cold at night, especially if the fest is not blessed with good hot weather. For comfort I would recommend a 3 season sleeping bag on an air bed or thick self inflating mattress, all upon an insulating foam camping mat. At 4cm thickness the berghaus mat must be teamed with a foam mat to give a degree of comfort. A 4cm thick self inflator is the entry level mat and thicker ones give more comfort. However with increasinf thickness comes increasing mat weight.

The starting consideration is how much space will be available in the taxi? Or flipping it around, how big a taxi will we need to accommodate yourselves, your gear and a trolley? Each year we been in a large family car we've had to put part of the back seat down to accommodate the trolley and our gear.

Not really. Queuing by those arriving by car begins Tuesday evening.

You will have no choice on where you park. You will be under direction from the stewards and potentially could face a walk of up to 40mins to 1hr to the entry gate and thence a further 30 mins+ to where you want to be onsite. To this add a travel time of 30mins+ to Wells plus exit (& entry queues). It's not a burden I would choose to saddle myself with and with youngsters in tow it would be even worse. You will be walking miles each day and any self inflicted extra is unwelcome.

Think of Glastonbury as the equivalent of an army assault course for trolleys. Uphill and downhill across rough stone roads. Only the strong survive and perceived every day weight carrying performance means nothing. Ideally trolleys need a robust sturdy frame, very strong axles and large pneumatic tyres. Any yes, even these come a cropper from time to time.

Useless for Glasto. Highly likely to end up in the bin before you get halfway to your tent.
