    Is there a WhatsApp group I could be added to with alerts when spaces become available? Looking for an Oxfam Steward place to become available. Or some sort of browser add-on to alert me? Any help appreciated, thanks.

  6. Day bag type and essentials for Glastonbury

    in Questions

    Posted

    I'm going to my first Glastonbury this year and am just trying to decide what type of bag I will take with me for the day and what I need in it. I somehow just don't think a bumbag will be big enough so is my best option a backpack? I feel it might be restrictive and annoying when in the crowds and dancing?!

    Let me know how you have done it in the past and what makes it out of the tent with you for the day!

    Thanks

    I second the sack truck. Husband managed to get his hands on one from his old job. Buy some bungee cords and straps to secure your stuff and you're away. Hasn't failed since we've got it a four years ago 

    Brilliant! Looks like I'll go for one of that sort then.

    I have a trolly that anglers use to transport all their gear. It has large tyres and can be dismantled in minutes. What ever trolly you choose, go for one which has large wheels.

    This year a friend of mine is building his own from an old mobility scooter. Can't wait to see how that turns out!

    In the past I've always used a good quality sack truck, with big inflatable rubber tyres, not the rubbish B&Q ones. They can carry lots and are easier to push than the cheap one's. 

    Great thank you, everyone, I think I'll go for a sack truck type one.

    Hi,

    I'm going to my first Glastonbury this year with 3 others and am wondering whether it's worth buying a festival trolley and what type of one is best. If anyone has any suggestions of what they have bought or think would be good please let me know! 

    We are being dropped off so am going on the bus from the drop off point to Gate A, is there a limit on the size trolley you are allowed to bring if going on the bus?

    Thanks!

    Bath and West is east of the festival site, so luckily London side, so you drive westerly along the M3 onto the A303 northwards, past Castle Cary, that's the route I would go.

    Camping wise, you're coming in at Gate A, so it's on Oxlyers side, it does fill up quick, what day you thinking? You're best staying on the Other Stage side rather than the Pyramid side as it's easier to get to and from Shangri-La that way.

    If Oxlyers full you could go Bushy Ground instead, further away but close to the Other Stage still but also perfect between Silver Hayes and Arcadia.

    Great, I think I will try Oxylers first then and go somewhere near if full. I'm currently thinking of leaving early on the Wednesday morning, its about 2 hour drive for me. I've heard horror stories of people queuing for hours so hoping if I get nearby about 8am/9am that I should be in early to get good camping spot.

    How have you done it in the past? Arrived on Wednesday? Also, I am hoping that by being dropped off and then getting the bus it will keep me out of the main congestion of people waiting to get into the car parks, is that how it works?

    I first did this in 2016 (the wet one), then again in 2017.

    Didn't queue, just waited for the coach at Bath and West, even had toilets and a burger van there. Loaded my bag and beer trolley on, with help from stewards, jumped on the coach and drove straight to the bus station at Gate A, easy.

    The return journey was just as easy, wait at the correct stop at the bus station, again by Gate A, fairly reasonable sized queue, maybe 2 bus fulls.

    I'll doing so again this year too! I would recommend it over driving and parking as you are so much closer to the gate. There is also a similar service from Castle Cary but this gets a lot busier, especially on the return journey.

    That's why I always go with the Bath and West Showground drop off point.

    Also where are you travelling from? If you are coming from the east, like Wiltshire, you can always veer off towards Evercreech and miss any road traffic too ?

    Great thanks! Sounds like a good way of doing it then. Coming from the south not too far from London, is the Bath drop off/collection best for me then I guess? 

    Is there a limit on what you can bring in terms of getting it in the bus i.e will a upright trolley be okay to take? 

    Also, where have you camped in the past? Coming in from Gate A i’m currently thinking Oxlyers, but have heard it fills up quick. I want to be near Other and Pyramid but also not too far from South East corner so feel somewhere around there is a good bet.

    I’m going to my first Glastonbury this year and am planning on being dropped off/picked up. I’ve read some things about there being a specific point you get dropped off and then get a bus to Gate A.

    If anyone has done this would be great if you could let me know how it works/if it’s a good way of arriving. 

    Thanks!
