Hi,
Perhaps it has been already discussed but I was not able to fully find the answers for my question.
This year we will go for the second time to Glastonbury (We do live in the Netherlands and go by our own camper). Last time was in 2016 and we stayed on the West Camperfield which doesnt exist anymore.
This year we will leave on Monday morning by camper from the Netherlands, have a visit to Stonehedge and will spent one night on a camping in Butleigh. On Tuesday morning we will leave and go towards the East Camperfield to be there at 12:00 sharp when it opens. First question is, if there is already a traffic jam at that time or will it relative be easy to drive to the East Camperfield entrance?
We do have an General East Camperfield ticket (we thought that was closest to the Festival, rather the Quiet Field due to noises). In 2016 it was easily possible for us to entrance the festival at 8:00 on Wednesday morning since the entrance there was only possible for people that were staying on the Westfield Camperfield. But how is this for the people that stay on the General Camperfield? I have been told that people that park their car can move around on the camperfield already and also get in line at the entrance. Ideally, we would like to be at the entrance again at around 8:00 on Wednesday morning. Simply to appreciate the festival but also the people on the campings that are already there that early with lots of stuff. Respect for them, in the netherlands we are only allowed to bring six cans of beer, and one bottle of coke with us to the festival. But in 2016, we bought a cheap small one person tent, and around 9:00 on Wednesday morning we were able to set it up near the Glade area. We used the tent during the festival for our drinks we brought everyday to the festival and for some clothing, lenses and glasses. We only went back to the camper when we wanted to sleep. My question is actually, do we have to be in a long line together with all the people that stay at the carpark or can we wait at the entrance a bit earlier before the bulk of people from the carpark come over to the entrance?
Final question 😉 Do people have a chat with eachother on the camperfield on Tuesday afternoon? We do want to bring our small BBQ with us, and have a chat and drink with the neighbours, perhaps want to join the BBQ. Or do people stay most of their time at their own camper?
Thanks if you can help us out! Would appreciate this a lot.
Alex
