I've seen a few crates on trolleys go under the coach before. I've also been on a few times where it didn't look like everyone's bag was going to fit let alone everyone with trolleys of beer.
I personally wouldn't risk a trolley of ale unless you're prepared to leave it at the coach stop.
I've always been lucky with a friend going down in a car - this is definitely the best way (just go meet your friend in the carpark!).
Bottle of decanted spirits in the big bag and there's always the shuttle bus to a supermarket?Seems like more and more people come in their own tents rather than share. It's why there's no room in the camping fields IMHO and probably takes more space on the coach.

My understanding is that you'll be at the mercy of your individual coach but be aware of how many people are on there and how much luggage everyone will have. If you know anyone else going by car who has spare space it might be easier to see if they can bring alcohol for you and arrange to do a car run at some point with them.

Is Nick Hayward back in this version of Haircut 100 or is it still the rest of the band without him? This could be a dealbreaker...
Wikipedia suggests he rejoined in 2023....

Don't really know any of his solo stuff but I do like what he did with Jesse Buckley.
Try the People Move On LP. I like the lockdown 2021 reworking of the vocals version.
-
Bernard Butler solo was a strange addition until I googled and found he has a new LP.
Excellent stuff.

Just got a £50 refund. I think it's for a coach package ticket so shouldn't it have refunded the coach travel too? I'm still going it was for one of our group.
Has anyone else received a refund today?

Mine consists of a single iPhone from a hospital bed in China, wish me luck.
That sounds rough. Hope you heal up quick (and get tickets).

Do they have multiple days though? If I’m lucky enough to get tickets will be an Edinburgh/ Glasgow job. Thursday to Monday is the plan as we abandon the kids with grandparents! Was assuming you’d get a choice of days
Yes - Weds or Thurs is the first option usually. Be warned, I think the Scottish coaches are usually early doors. I think Aberdeen was just after midnight (I realise that's a bugger tonne away from Edinburgh though!).
-
The departure points without times - they let you know about a month before what time you're going.
-
My one tip is ensure your entire group is on board with departure options in order of preference. If you live in London and someone gets excited and books Aberdeen....

Reading this thread has made me question if I want to go for a Thursday coach.
But Thursday coach ticket > no Glastonbury ticket. -
Another great Deer Shed!
Divorce, Dream Wife, August Charles, Comet Is Coming and Delgados made it for me.
For anyone reading this thread and thinking of taking the kids in 2024 - GO!-

Hello, we are really looking forward to coming to deer shed this year for the first time. I have a bit of a nit picky question and wonder if you may be able to help -we have previously taken our fairly small tent with a gazebo over the front to make a cooking area and give us somewhere to sit in the rain when our neurodiverse eldest needs space in the tent.
Just seen it says No gazebos on the website.... is this quite strict? Is it due to space being tight?
Thanks for any info!

Depends where you camp. If you keep walking from the carpark towards the actual deer shed there was loads of room last year. Some folk had gazebos - wasn't a problem.
If you park up at Gate 1 at 1 minute past door opening and plonk it in the closest camping field I'd imagine someone will say something.
The spot near the deer shed is actually very nice too - lots of quiet loos and a fairly direct route into the back of the arena.
If you do camp there look for an Innocent Men flag and come say hi if you like! -

Definitely get a test. Last year something like half of our group came back with it.

Best: Leons Lebanese Veggie platter (Saturdays only apparently). £15 but everything was amazing. I might go as far as saying it's the best veggie thing I've had eating out in years.
Worst: A falafel wrap from that cafe in the camping behind woodsies but to be fair even that was serviceable.
Special shout out to the £6 pasty, chips and beans deal. That provided a few quick meals. -
I think the camping space has been squeezed with the changes to campervan accessibility, hospitality and the Pyramid and surrounding areas having wider paths (necessary!).
I think the biggest thing is everyone seems to have bigger tents. Single people in 3-4 man tents. There are hardly any 2 man popups about.

Anyone know how the back of this queue is looking? At gate D mates were told it's six hours, his photo shows the back of the queue at West 37 carpark.
-
I reckon this based on his recent sets

Do we know when their social accounts will wake up?
Looking forward to running up that hill again. That chalkboard of gold. -
I'd suggest Causeway just best Bristol. Easy jump off the M5. There's an Asda, Morrisons and a Tesco. Even a Go Outdoors if you need camping gear.
There's a McDonald's if that's your thing too.

Octopus customers only though.
I'm not a customer, can I still enter?
We look after our customers and this competition is for them. You'll need an active Octopus Energy account on supply to be eligible.
This will likely mean they don't get many entries. So if you have friend that is ticketless and an Octopus Energy customer I reckon this is a good shot at it!

It's becoming a thing with our group.
Just put on any tie dye you have.
All welcome. Who's in?

Unless there's a coach issue it will be that departure time once they've sent it.
On returns - it's not exactly a free for all but they do try to get everyone home (had friends board coaches going to Manchester when the original ticket was from Birmingham!). And there are lots going to Bristol and they are fully aware that people miss early coaches for "reasons".
