Staying till Tuesday

[Sawdusty surfer]

there always used to be a huge crew/lost-it-posse party in the greenfields on the monday night, centered around the live music in the golden moon cafe.

nowadays the only big event is in slippery dicks on the monday night.

[staggerlee]

Yeah there would definitely be something cool about staying that extra night however I think it would be impossible to convince my driving mates to stay on any longer, plus I am always skint my Sunday night/Monday morning.

think im gona do this this year, by me self. Should be long

Ease out the comedown as long as poss!!!

It sounds really depressing to me, I'd hate to wander around the site after five days of it being a non stop world of energy, noise and crowds and see it deserted, quiet and (relatively) lifeless. I suppose those last two elements will reflect my own condition at that point

What do you do with all your stuff though? Wouldn't it be a bit risky leaving your tent unguarded on the Monday?

[staggerlee]

Thats what im a bit worried about as im on my own...so will have to cart it around i imagine. Still, better than sitted on my ass surfing this forum

I've got a 5 day holiday booked to Spain shortly after Glasto to get me over the blues.

[kingrolo]

[sh4rpie]

[staggerlee]

Officially I think we have a licence till 5am (might be 6am?) on the Monday morning (as far as I know) it's possible that the village bar will serve the people who tack down our village, but I'm only assuming that. As for the Traders, actually I've no idea about the traders (sorry) it has the longest opening hours of any of the bars onsite I know that much.

[staggerlee]

Do the bars close at all over the festival, for example if I went to a WBC or brothers at 7am on Saturday morning, would I be able to get a pint?

[TalkShow Bob]

Yeah they do close, not sure what the opening hours are but I think the latest they open till is 4am.

[scaryclaireyfairy]

as we have a mammoth 7 hour drive home, we don't usually leave until late monday evening. it is downright depressing on the monday watching the stalls being taken away and all the rubbish and empty tents and stuff. we can't face seeing it like that again so we're off to a hotel as soon as we can rouse ourselves and we'll get a kip there for the long journey ahead.

if i was young free and single with no child etc id deffo do this - if you offer to help clean up to someone offical how long could you stay? Is this a good way of getting to know people who run the festival -

If you join the "after pick" crew you could be on site for anything between a week and month or two, if it's been a massively wet one, so I've heard.

Last year people were finishing quite early. The site was in pretty good shape and Michael wanted at least one field made good for the cows within a week - and they managed it I believe.
