At all the festivals with the exception of Glastonbury I didn't have a mobility scooter, my mobility wasn't as bad back then but I still seated position in my reasonable adjustments. I also hired from Event Mobility when I was there via Oxfam in 2022, this was my first time in Spring Ground as I have always opted for East Campervan Forward Campervan Field. I was back in there last year and will be there this year too. If you do get offered a place to volunteer make sure that you are not expected to work on the Monday post festival and don't ask for early shifts which can be from the Saturday before the festival as Event Mobility don't arrive until Monday and leave the following Monday morning. A friend of mine had her staff wristband removed when volunteering for Oxfam a few years ago as she was taken ill in the Oxfield and had to get someone to come and collect her as she was too poorly to drive. They don't know the meaning of compassion. 😭

All of the issues I have encountered are due to my RA's not being taken into account by whoever did the rota and at Glastonbury made worse by the way I was spoken to by Oxbox when I reached out to change them. Oxbox also contacted me about an hour before my first shift (also at Glastonbury) asking me to go to the Oxbox to sign in for my shift. I explained I was not in Oxfield, I was in the Accessible Campsite and as my shift was at the Accessible Arrivals Marquee I physically couldn't get there and back in time. Yet again I was spoken to with a complete lack of respect as if I was a naughy school child. The supervisors I have worked with have always been supportive. We didn't have one at Glastonbury despite the close proximity to Gate A hence why they wanted me to spend 2 hours signing in due to their oversight.

After Glastonbury I cancelled Boardmasters as my health comes first and I was so ill at Glastonbury I barely left the Accessible field. They tried to charge me a cancellation fee and I threatened them with further action if they did. It was the principle of the matter not the amount. They soon refunded it along with a begging email for another chance. Not a prayer I would go through this again! 😂 I have Ménière's Disease which as well as causing hearing loss I get severe vertigo attacks. I need a gentle and late start to the day, a quiet place so I have a chance of hearing and a seated role. I advised and they agreed to this including no early starts. I just can't cope with 6am starts which I was given 2 of at Glastonbury. Working on a 3 directional vehicle gate (Beautiful Days), being placed in the furthest field from Oxbox to man an information tent when they could have placed me a lot closer (Boardmasters) and the taxi rank position at Camp Bestival turned into crowd management on the final night. This is despite requesting a seated position as I am unsteady on my feet. I was refused buggy transportation at Glastonbury and Camp Bestival and only received it at Beautiful Days after having a Ménière's attack on duty brought on by the stressful stewarding placement and being unable to hear lorry drivers asking questions over the vehicle noise. Thankfully I have another way in these days if I don't get tickets in the main sale! 😂

I had heard of him, I hadn't heard of SZA until the rumours started. 😄

SZA would be a strange choice for Sunday, the locals usually get someone they have at least heard of!

The dream team! 😍

😂😂😂 PS I am wishing she is on the line up too!

You should have said! 😂😉

If you are an Oxfam Volunteer Steward with Accessibility needs you can request things like a seated role, quiet place on site or whatever your needs are via their reasonable adjustments team. As to wether you actually have these taken in to account on the rota is a different matter. I have volunteered for them 5 times and have not had my reasonable adjustments taken into account at 4 of them. They talk the talk but don't walk the walk. After Glastonbury 2022 I vowed never to volunteer for them again.

It changed yesterday.

Here is last year's timetable. This shows all the stops and times. They are limited due to vehicles not being allowed in a lot of the site. I have also attached a copy of the Accessible map from last year as this shows the actual stops. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/access-information/access-map/ ☺️

Website updates are happening - https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up-/?fbclid=IwAR3EKdlegzt3rdLxoieaYcl89Y2EdWktXIpDaG0lW8GacSqSy95cf3meg0k 😍

Looks like GFL are preparing the website! 🤩 https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/line-up-/?fbclid=IwAR3EKdlegzt3rdLxoieaYcl89Y2EdWktXIpDaG0lW8GacSqSy95cf3meg0k

I do hope so!! I have sent an email to ask 🤞🏻

Looking like my favourite food stall isn't going to be there this year! Roaming Rotisserie has been my place for comfort food since Pieminister disappeared. 😭

Nor us, Eat the Farm is our favourite breakfast place. However The old Skool Bus is so close for us as we pitch in E21 Accessible Forward Campervan Field so it's literally just behind us! They do have seating if it's fine, which of course it will be! 😂

Full English was £12 last year for 7 items, it looked fab, our neighbours had it on the Sunday. I will definitely try harder this year to try one! 😋

The Old Skool Bus and Kitchen have confirmed (via Messenger) they will be back in E20 Campervan Field 😊 https://www.oldskoolbusevents.com/

Thanks guys, I am totally in agreement with what you have interpreted as you haven't attempted to make it sound like an exclusive quote plastered over as many socials as possible.I will see if I can get any clarification next week when I see Emily's sister. 😊

A person in a group I am in is adamant that Emily said she was looking to do 3 female headliners in the next 2 years. Your thoughts on this please? 🙂

Here is @gooner1990 report, apologies to @neil - my phone wouldn't delete your tag.

Fatboy Slim - Other Stage, Dance Tent, The Glade, Maceos and Arcadia 😊

Here are the starting prices 😊

How do they know everyone's age? At no point during registration are you asked to give your date of birth. The only data available on age is the amount of teen tickets aged 13 to 15 and the remainder are all adults over 16. I don't have a SeeTickets account so SeeTickets hold no other information about me. Even if I did I don't think it could be used to provide information to a third party due to GDPR regulations.
