I have looked at a couple of thread, but haven't seen anything conclusive.

What's the rules on smoking at Glastobury (I'm talking legal smoking, not illegal)

sadly you will be asked to leave a tent if you spark up inside. outside, no problem. it's helpful to take a pot for your butts.

You can tell Glasto is getting closer, even more inane and dumb questions than usual

[gillmacca]

The same as everywhere else.

I'm only (half) teasing ya yours was a long way off being the the worst i.e funniest question !

[gillmacca]

Not exactly true. Where I work we have a smoking room inside the main building. Other places have the smoking room in a mobile room away from the main building

[gillmacca]

That would be an illegal smoking room then? In the UK you're not allowed smoking rooms anymore, only an outside shelter which cannot by law be more than 50% enclosed.

lol, nicely illegal then (the smoking room).

Yes fine to smoke, but you cant smoke in ANY of the music/bar/performance/shop tents - even the ones like the John Peel stage which are totally open on all 4 sides and just a roof...

The pot will be a beer can then?

[sums98]

No, I will use an old camera film case

Yes - there are signs inside all tents (and plenty of the signs if i remember correctly) so it should be easy to see.

Plus a security guard will come over and let you know if you do accidentally light a cigarette - you won't get kicked out if you do - BUT last year most other festival goers were pretty quick to point out to others that they shouldn't be smoking, and it's always a pain when someone is dancing in a crowd with a lit fag!

But yeah, clearly sign posted - don't think there is anywhere 'covered' that you can smoke, so if you are a smoker, bring a brolly....

I take it there are signs letting you know you cannot smoke in an area

[laid back in the sun]

just smoke anyway, the worst that will happen is that you will be told to go outside, then continue smoking until you get outside and by then your cigarette should be pretty well finished anyway and repeat as often as necessary (although try not to be seen by the same anti smoking nazi steward too often as they can get a bit arsey about it)

People saying these things about not being about to smoke inside, I've never noticed it, I think I smoked in almost every major tent last year, and a lot of the smaller ones, no one cared (if they had I would have put it out).

Was in the bimble inn a couple of years ago and as is the same in most of the small tents its ok to smoke joints, but not ok to smoke cigarettes.

[ukslim]

no one cared (if they had I would have put it out).

[farewellandgoodnight]

Try telling that to my boss.

He refusing to have an outside smoking area. He doesn't want people leaving the building

This is Britain. 80% of people who cared would have complained about you after you were gone, rather than cause a scene when you were there.

I only smoked in the dance tent last year, and had no bother with it. Was being very discreet though, and did read of others during exactly the same acts at the time getting told off for it.

Oddly enough I never used to smoke in the cabaret tent even when you could, seemed rude in such a cosy environment in a way.
