[Advice - (over 40's) - Taking my parents to their first festival]

I've been going since I was 32 and I'm now 44 and the only difference I'm finding now is my feet.

I now have very comfortable walking boots with added "suspension" as I find the improvement works to reduce the mud when wet can be very hard wearing on your feet. There is loads of walking and one evening a few years just collapsed in my tent and couldn't go out again as my feet hurt so badly. I got that one sorted pretty quickly!

Camping wise remember the music license for the festival means the main stages are over by midnight so the only noise is the combined hum of the party tents. We camp in family camping behind the Kidz Field and the gentle hum of noise from the other side of the site is easy to sleep through.

Finally in the last few years we have discovered the full blown night life and the party really starts after 12am!

You and your parents will love it. You never regret coming.

Relax, be happy and go with the flow and you be in love with Glasto in no time!

[going to Glastonbury with a 1 year old]

The NCT and the R&R tents will both be there in 2015 and will be in the same locations.

The NCT tent is open 9am-7pm with a nightly Bath time from 5pm.

The R&R is open 7pm-9am and provides a nighttime haven.

Any questions just ask

Live local to Wilkins - gonna be hard with a caravan. Park at top and walk down!

[How thoroughly do they check for glass?]

Watched two girls this evening at crew gate having their entire car searched because they said they didn't have glass and security found four bottles of gin. Decant into plastic or risk something less innocuous being found

[OMG WHAT AM I DOING?.... A GLASTO PROPOSAL!?!?!?]

My cousin was proposed to in 2011 during a picnic at the Stone Circle.

She had no idea and loved it

She and her hubby are working the John Peel stage this year.

Good luck ! X

[Where are you staying in somerset and what pub you drinking at?]

I be staying at Ebborways Farm House and visiting the Queen Victoria pub in Priddy only about 300 mtrs walk away.

[Where to camp with two children aged 2]

Look at site map (online) and head for family camping above Kidz and acoustic fields - going to be a tent to take fretful Children over night and during set up x

[Crew Passes - what is the latest time we can drive onto site on Tuesday?]

Excellent, thanks guys

[Crew Passes - what is the latest time we can drive onto site on Tuesday?]

Hi

I have just found out I have a crew car pass to drive on site once and unload before going to crew car parking.

Unfortunately, I have to work on Tuesday, so I was wondering is there a curfew time as to when I can last bring my car on site for unloading etc?

Cheers x

[Glasto bound and pregnant :)]

2011 we had a newborn (day old) in the NCT tent in the Kidz field. Lady came heavily pregnant, went into labour, gave birth in a local hospital and returned to site.

She was calm relaxed and happy as we're her partner and old children. The baby was gorgepus and content. It's all a state of mind.

All pregnant ladies come and stop by the NCT tent for a cuppa and a rest. It is quite a haven.

[Cider farms on route (A37) recommendations]

For Roger Wilkins stay on motorway to junction 22 - cut through to a village called Mark (Rich's cider) - carry through to Wedmore and then Mudgeley. After roger's drive back road to Glastonbury then on festival.

[Glastonbury veterans - what things have you planned to do at Glasto in the past but never quite made it?]

Anything night time beyond the pyramid and the Kidz field. All been fantastic amd loved it but as I am coming alone this year with friends it is time to explore!!!

[Glasto poetry]

Inspired by the announcement of a site poet this is my contribution:

I look at a website

The buzz judders through me

I see the queues, the lanes, the tents

I feel the vibe, the excitement, the belonging, the calm

I cannot wait for the festival to start

I cannot wait to be immersed in the sense of direction

To be amongst friends

Glastonbury festival, my home coming, my yearning

To come home, to belong, to be one with the world

[Nappies!]

Bottling sterilising available in both tents (see related thread further down)

[Nappies!]

Nct babe - I wonder if you can help on another related question? Is the nct tent open on Wednesday? Will you have facilities for washing or sterilising bottles? Very excited and scared about bringing our 1 year old!

[Proper tips for taking small children to Glastonbury]

Thank you to all that have mentioned the NCT tent in the Kidz Field!

We are back again this year with all that you need for babies and toddlers!

Opening times:

Thurs 12-7pm

Fri-Sun 9am-7pm

Bath time 5-6:30pm

This year there is also baby provision in family camping (the one above the Kidz field to the right of big Ground). This open from Wed lunchtime- Thursday lunchtime and when the NCT tent is closed eg 7pm-9am each night.

Adults without children ate not allowed on the Kidz field so a special place for families

[Bringing a 1 year old - Sterilising bottles and Milk?]

The out of hours tent will be open from Wednesday lunch time (midday)!

Look on site map, find the Kidz field and it's in Family camping just above it

[Bringing a 1 year old - Sterilising bottles and Milk?]

Hi

The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) have a Baby Feed & Change Tent at the top of the Kidz Field and we have full sterilising facilities available (and washing up provision). The tent is geared up specificially for you and your baby and we even provide welcome cups of tea and a place to lie down. We are open the same time of the Kidz Field 9am-7pm with a nightly bath time between 5pm-6:30pm.

Also for the first time this year there will be out of hours provision in the Family Camping area behind the Kidz Field. They will be open when the NCT field is not. It will only cater to basic requirements but they will have provision to sterilise bottles.

Please note there is very little shade on site so please make sure you have plenty of protection for your little one - my worst festivals with the children have been the hot ones not the wet ones. Heat makes them fractious and miserable, so come prepared and life will be grand

See you in a couple of weeks

[Going off site Thurs back Fri]

What time does she have to head out? I have to head out Thursday too but wont be going out until 3pm - hoping to have transport there so could drop her off in Wells - 376 bus back to Bristol.

[Nappies!]

Hi

We run the NCT Baby Feed and Change Tent in the Kidz Field and all disposable nappies go into the General Waste bins at the end of the day.

Please do NOT put into the toilets. There is no special facility for them either. Just bag them and put them in the General Waste bins.

We provide spare organic nappies and biodegradeable nappy sacks as our small part to the planet.

The Baby Feed & Change Tent at the top of the Kidz Field, provides emergency nappies and cups of tea and is geared up specificially for you and your baby. We are open the same time of the Kidz Field 9am-7pm with a nightly bath time between 5pm-6:30pm.

Also for the first time this year there will be out of hours provision in the Family Camping area behind the Kidz Field.

[Any parents who have taken a baby - baby carrier advice?]

Dear All

Just to let you know that the National Childbirth Trust have a Baby Feed & Change Tent at the top of the Kidz Field, we have emergency nappies and cups of tea. If any carrier becomes too heavy or buggies become too strenuous to push, come and take the weight off of your feet by relaxing in the tent that is geared up specificially for you and your baby. We are open the same time of the Kidz Field 9am-7pm with a nightly bath time between 5pm-6:30pm.

Also for the first time this year there will be out of hours provision in the Family Camping area behind the Kidz Field.

In my experience of taking three children for the last 8 years (now aged 10, 5 & 3), I have always preferred my sturdy three wheeler to any other carrying device. From babies to toddlers this has been by far the easiest even in the deepest thickest mud. It provides shelter from the wind and rain and shade from the sun.
