Does anyone know of any places you will be able to wash and dry hair with a hair dryer? Either pay to do it yourself or get it done by someone, not too fussed! Zooloos powder room passes are sold out. I know it’s not in the true spirit of Glasto and I can deal with the no showers but clean hair makes everything better 😂

So I’m dying to visit the Worthy Farm stone circle and Worthy Farm Dragon hidden amoungst the trees but haven't the foggiest where they are! I need some advice on how to find them keeping in mind I’ve never visited Glastonbury Festival before. I live local and the site is public when the festival isn’t on so everythings a go apart from obviously where the chuff I’m going! Help please!

Hi, Does anyone have an east Campervan ticket for sale or would like to swap for a Bath & West Showground ticket (£200 large pitch) I also have a suggestion to share my caravan if you don’t have one yet. Caravans & motorhomes Etc are very expensive to hire for Glastonbury and my idea was to only use mine as a base and for showering and cooking etc and more importantly keeping the beers cold and we all pitch up tents around it. I also have a huge traders gazebo and will be taking my large bbq for outdoor cooking. I’m a good host and happy to be king bbq chef but it’s every man and women to themselves Friday onwards 😂 I’m planning on traveling down from HORSHAM, WEST SUSSEX on the Monday night and will aim to be one of the first in which ive managed to achieve for the last 6 years I’ve been going with my caravan and I usually get us as near as gate C as possible in Field 21. We could meet up before hand and you can travel in with me or I can go first and you meet us later? I will obviously need the ticket before hand backed up with a letter from the ticket holder. Don’t worry I’ve done this before when I’ve had to buy someone’s Campervan ticket and there fine plus the last thing there going to want me to do is try and back my caravan up when there’s a sea of them in front of me and behind me! I’m 100% confident it will be fine and the worse that could happen is that I have to park up and wait for you to arrive but that won’t happen. We could also arrange to take all you bulky bits as I’ll be towing with my van so there’s plenty of room which also means you’ll be travelling light but you might have to get a 20 quid parking ticket and come and find us or park off site and walk in? Trust me a Nice steady stroll with just your wallet or purse and bottle of beer into Glastonbury is unheard of!!!! This way it’s costing you nothing as I will buy the ticket off you and you get to use my caravan facilities for free plus meet new friends which is always a bonus!! 👍 I also have a Bath & West show ground ticket for a large pitch which cost 200 and you get a free 24hr shuttle service into the festival that I would swap at no extra cost. I’ve heard the Bath and West Showground ground is really good and the shuttle service they run is very convenient for those who don’t like or can’t walk long distances especially up the hill of death if your staying in the East CV it’s also a large pitch so if your towing a caravan there will be plenty of room to move around and you won’t even need to unhitch ready for a quick get away!! or I can just buy your east ticket if your circumstances have changed? My group consists of me who’s 42 my friend Ruth who’s 46 and her two daughters which one of them is playing at Glastonbury on the Friday hence why we need to be on site because of the equipment we have. Everyone is laid back and chilled and we’re all Glastonbury veterans which is handy if your new to the festival? I think this is a great idea and I look forward to all your responses. Kindest Regards, Hichan

Hi guys Me and a few friends are flying from Jersey to Southampton on the Thursday to catch the coach. We've not done the coach package before so was wondering if any one could shed some light on coach times so we know when to book our flights? We are thinking just the first one out on Thursday morning and the last one back on Monday night to be safe. Are you allocated a coach time on the return journey? We are also hoping to camp at Worthy View this year (which we've not done before either so a year for firsts!) - hoping there will be a shuttle from the coach drop off to the WV campsite? Any help is appreciated! Thanks Jade

Like thousands of broken-hearted Glasto obsessives I have been unsuccessful in nabbing myself tickets (7th time I've failed in 8 years!). My wife will be attending as an NHS midwife and previous festival worker already she is on course to be an FMS first responder again and by hook or by crook I would still also love to attend the greatest place on earth with her by pitching in with one of the fantastic causes I had already signed up for (Wateraid, Oxfam, FMS), But a lovely email has appeared telling me if I have a recommendation from one of the Glastonbury Recycling Crew 2017 I could potentially join the team for 2019 - There's hope yet! Are there any lovely 2017 Recycling Crew able to assist or point me in the right direction? Of course Cider bus pints aplenty for all able to get me on the right side of the fence! Thanks for any help in advance!

Hi all, So managed to get coach packages for Glastonbury 2019 (wooooo!!) but I’ve never got one before, all the other times I’ve been I’ve got a general sale ticket and coach later. Can you pick what time you get the coach in a coach package? If not is there a way around it - it’s a Wednesday one but want to be at the site as early as possible in the morning!!

10 top tips for staying safe this festival season
rosierec posted a blog entry in Stay Safe This Festival Season
Festival season is almost here again, and it’s important to stay safe while having fun. In 2015, it was estimated that one in every 500 festivalgoers were victims of crime. People looking to enjoy a summer enjoying live music and an exciting community atmosphere also need to be aware of the security risks. Fuad Zain, Centre Owner of First Security Training, shares some top tips to keep you safe throughout the festival season. 1. Find out where the security are. People tend to behave better when they think they’re being watched. If you pitch your tent near to where security staff are posted, it is likely to remain safer. You’ll also be safe in the knowledge that if any trouble does start, the security won’t be too far away to come to your aid. 2. Find out where the medical tent is. In an emergency, you’ll be glad to get there quickly. Make sure you know exactly where to get help if you or one of your party is injured. If in doubt, you can ask security, and they’ll help you find the medical team. Many security staff also have first aid training, so may be able to help too. 3. Drug Awareness. Festivals are a hotspot for drugs. Last year, three deaths at Leeds Festival and T in the Park were linked to drug use, and a number of assaults have been linked to drink spiking. Some festivals, such as Leeds and Reading, have announced they will have a drug-testing tent, to ensure the safety of festivalgoers. If you suspect you or a friend has been spiked, you should seek help from the first aid tent or a member of security immediately. 4. Stick to busy areas of the festival. Safety in numbers is key here. Avoid the lonely, secluded spots, as this is a prime spot for criminals. Someone on their own is a much easier target than someone surrounded by people, however… 5. Be conscious of pickpockets, busy areas are great for these guys. Try not to carry too much money in one place about your person. Also, a great tip is to pick up an old mobile and leave your smartphone at home. Not only will it be less desirable for thieves but the battery will last forever. 6. Watch what you drink. Drunk people are far easier to take advantage of. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a festival heatwave, but beware, the heat can make any alcohol go straight to your head. Of course you should have fun, but make sure you or one of your group is looking out for danger. If you feel that anything is getting out of control, go straight to security for help. 7. Check your car is locked. If you’re driving to the festival, be aware if you lock your car using a key fob. Thieves are increasingly using signal jammers to prevent doors from locking when the fob is pressed, and the owner leaves the car open, allowing the thief to break in easily and steal any valuables. If you spot anything suspicious when parking your car, report it to festival security. 8. Find out what facilities are available. Larger festivals, such as Glastonbury, have free lock ups where you can store your valuables. Also, many festivals have an area for charging your phone, which is an absolute essential if you or one of your group go missing. 9. Tag your property. Go retro and channel your school days by marking up your property with your name and postcode. This will make your items easier to identify if they’re handed in at the Lost Property booth. Festivals like Glastonbury have UV pens you can borrow, if you want to secretly secure your stuff. 10. Make plans with your friends. Not everyone has the same taste in music or entertainment, but make sure you and your group arrange to meet regularly to make sure everyone is safe. If you have any concerns about the safety of any of your party, speak to a member of the security team -
