Party at Glastonbury

[Rufus Gwertigan]

Hi chaps,

My lovely daughter turns 18 on the Sunday at the festival. I am hoping to have the full day off work so we can get a little trollied, but I was wanting to set up a little birthday party (with jelly and cake etc) for her. After party time is her own, as she don't want an old sod like me cramping her style.

I will put this in the MFG but I was wondering if anyone would help/attend. I have told her she has to camp at CT, but I will be elsewhere, and it would be nice to find a random spot to surprise her.

I want to make a fuss as she has decided she wants to live with me, and I want to fuss a bit

Theres this very strange off-the-track tent by Arcadia, fair few wooden tables and chairs outside, fairy lights, amazing tunes, very very cool hazy, fun atmosphere. Dont know if I'd ever be able to find it again, but its sort of an ideal place for any sort of party, it wasn't too far removed, just a bit off the main path towards Shangri-La, there were quite a few people there when we found it, maybe 60 or so?

Dont know if you wanted somewhere more intimate and special, if so, I'd say your best bet is around the Stone Circle or Green Fields, definitely some moments to be captured there as I'm sure you well know

oh yes.

[Mahdnyw]

Good on ya Rufus, I'm sure a suitable place could be found during the course of the weekend

[Nyika]

I'll deffo come, it was Harriet's birthday last year!

The pub with the outdoor garden in Shangri La was very nice last year. You do realise that by announcing this Katrina will have over 200 people in attendance at her birthday shenanigans!

The wedding reception party for Bus and Hipster that was held in the LV Ballroom in 07 was lovely. There wasnt any exclusivity there but the group took over one area of the tent and set up an ace spread of cakes and crisps. We were entertained by the cabaret band.

Jelly and ice cream may be an issue unless you know someone who can help with the fridge situation. BUt no doubt you know some peeps dont you Mr Rufus?

A birthday party will be fun, as long as it doesn't clash with Stevie Wonder, lol, although I think she will appreciate him singing

I do know folk for Jelly and Trifle. I am going to bring some stuff down, and hopefully have the use of an oven. I just think a small moment would be awesome for her I was planning on trting a full 4 course meal for her

You planning on using your tent as an oven? Am sure the sun will be beating down hard enough for you to cook a full roast dinner in there, lol.

[Laura_Babs]

Will she have you hovering about all day saying "you ain't shagging my daughter" to random young blokes?

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

Just start singing Happy Birthday - it'll be a ridiculous number of people joining in as long as you're not too secluded. Nobody can resist singing Happy Birthday. Hopefully Flaming Lips will play that day too for their own rendition of it.
