The indoor cinema has moved.

I am trying to find out the status of the outdoor cinema, but what is certain is that it won't be in the previous spot.

:( gutted the cinema has been moved to practilly the other side of the site!

I camped in the wicket ground last year and the cinema area was close by so could watch a film at end of night and not have to walk miles back to tent.

don't think i'll be at the cinema area much now :)

I'll be quite gutted if the ciname field has gone. A lot of folk say to me that there are surely better things to be doing at glastonbury than sitting watching a cinema and I do agree completely but, like a lot of you guys say, it was a nice chill out area and Ghostbusters / The Goonies were great over the last couple of years. Shame. :lol:

I'm having trouble reading the map in relation to the local area and don't have GoogleEarth at work, so cant check out GlastoEarth. Could anyone please identify for me the pedestrian entrance point to the site? We'll be walking to the site from a campsite 3 miles away ( unless we find a soul kind enough to give us a lift) and I'm unsure if we're meant to walk in through the bus drop-off gates or where.

Also what do the letters and numbers not explained in the key stand for on the map?

Questions, questions, questions...

"The Stone Circle is egg shaped to mirror the Signus star constellation. The stone at the tip signifies the swans neck and is pointed to the midsummer sunrise. Under each stone are significant items that represent the direction of which each faces. There are crystals from Stonehenge, water from the Ganges, stone from the Pyramids, healing herb and many, many other items of mystical and religious significance. While only completed in 1990 the Stone Circle feels as though it’s been there forever."

Has anyone notice that it says Arena in the pyramid stage field?

Made me question my eyes for a second (I know this is does not change anything we will still have that free feeling that you don't get at other festivals)

Ha ha. Love it... word has been added to general venacular.

Slightly off topic, but what kind of time would we need to be there to get a good central spot. 3 1st timers going so would like to be right in amongst it... Kidney Mead or Row Mead etc.

Leaving from a house near Heathrow on the Wed morning by car... any idea of times would be appreciated as a guide for us.

Think the word originated on the boards roundabout ticket time 2007, use it constantly now!

I'm a Kidney Mead man myself, last year we went by car via London (from Paisley) and passed by Heathrow around 5.00am. Got to Shepton Mallet where we were meeting the others for about 7am. Took a while to get in but we were at our pitch for around 11am ish I think and there was a decent amount of space available. Usually begins to look full towards late wednesday afternoon. :rolleyes:

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
