yes we'll agree to disagree though in 5 Glastonburys I've not once seen a fight and honestly can't remember much if any drunken falling over. The worry with a baby at Gbury wouldnt be drunk people, crowds as such or drug-taking - the biggest worry for me this year is the weather. can cope with a bit of a rain, a bit of mud, the odd thunder storm but not a complete 5 day mud-fest.

Is what i thought to the question at the beginning of this thread

A child yeah sure they have the kidz field , arts and crafts and can bop along to the music with there folks , but a baby ! a baby would have as much fun staying at home with the grandparents playing with a piece of string, without the loud noise and mud

People have been taking babies to Glastonbury probably since it began. If they were fine in the earlier years then they'll be fine now. The festival is no more dangerous than any city man street and I have the utmost respect for anyone who is immersing their child from much a young age in such a great cultural event and I hope one day I can bring my own children

Totally up to the parents if they take their child of any age to Glastonbury, they know what is best for their child, not us. However gotta fully accept anything that may happen to them as their responsibilty and fault and not other festival goers, the weather, poor sanitation etc etc

I am amazed at the amount of posts (far too many to quote!) on here debating how wrong it is taking infants and children to Glastonbury Festival. I wish my parents had taken me as I truly believe any child of any age will benefit from their experiences there.

Do you really think the parents with babies are going to camp in Pennards, or perhaps they prefer the safety of the family field? Which by coincidence is next to the Kidz field? (Oh how awful calling the children kids!!!) Which bizarrely has facilities for bathing infants, crikey, good job the midwives running that particular tent don't hold the same opinion as the negative posters on here!

Maybe some peoples sole purpose is to get wasted at Glastonbury, fall on tents and be out of their head on alcohol and drugs? however some can have a good time without either!

Or is this now just another thread for keyboard warriors to battle?

Live and let live, you will be far richer for it! :yes:

It comes down to the fact that there are many different kinds of glasto for many different types of people and at many different lifestages. The festival i have now in my ahem older years is different to the one I had when I was 17 and so in.

I leave my children at home because of selfishness not out of safety concerns.

I'm not getting drawn into the debate above but will just answer the OP's question.

We are taking one of those pop up baby tents. My niece had it first - and camped in it from when she was 4 months old, first time was in April (although not at a festival). With a romper suit and grow bag she was toasty warm. Ours has camped in it too and not had any problems. They pack up really small and are light and easy to carry.

Have a great glasto and see you in the kids field.

    • 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
