Hidden Glastonbury

[dimus]

Are there any secret / lesser known areas that people know of? Not to post their exact location but just their existence.

Last year I found the underground piano bar, the huge stone dragon and tunnel under the old railway track. Places that had previously evaded me.

[EmsieXxX]

My friends found some like underground bar one year? But never again...? Maybe near the stone circle is this the one u speak of?

[Pinhead]

'Tis found at the top of old Dragon Field....

Also easily missed:

Iona Camp

Greenpeace - Permaculture tunnel

Stone Dragon

Flushing loos

Sam's Magic Hat Sauna

Strummerstone

To name a few...

[dimus]

Yes that's the one. All they serve is scrumpy or poitín, lethal at 5:30 in the morning

[Bisque]

I swear I found a garden area with a DJ after crawling through a tunnel once unless that was at BBL

Either that or too much acid my friend..

On another note, I haven't come across any of these secret spots, although did find a nice place around the greenfields I think one year with all these little candles dotted around a small field, nice spot to relax at night

What is this Iona Camp you speak of?

[Bisque]

Either that or too much acid my friend..

Just asked & it was BBL but we did find a similar thing round the back of Apple Smuggerlz Edited April 30, 2014 by Couchy

Found the tunnel the second year I went and found the Underground Piano bar but my friends were being dicks and wouldn't go in. Want to try and find the Dragon this year.

[Pinhead]

The tunnel and garden definitely existing a few years ago (maybe 2011), somewhere in Shangri-La I thought....

Iona Camp is probably one of the last old skool Glasto regular institutions that I remember still remaining and in its original spot. Look around top of Avalon exit over the railway line....

There are often candles floating near the Dragon - perchance you may have been near but not realised it.... The Greenfields often hosts a spiral or maze delineated by candles or tee-lights in those candle bags. Also there is a pond not far from there also sporting similar illumination at night...

We found some gazeebo covered in UV paint blaring drum and bass behind some kind of food stall. Was pretty sweet.

[HurrahBrother]

Yes, there is a dragon/water feature (obviously dragon feild)

Flushing loo's? Top of the Big Ground

The Strummer stone, at the back of the Strummerville area (not that big, off to one side)

There is the Rabbit Hole (previous years top of the park)

thoise I have found, could never find the Piano bar.

[joy114]

We found the piano bar last year while it was still being constructed. Never managed to get in, but we did sit outside listening to someone playing sea shanties on a piano in the field.

[incident]

I won't go into detail, but I'll just say this - investigate the stalls in the Craft Field. There's at least 1 that has much more to it behind the facade.

[tommyds]

The piano bar seems to keep moving, I've followed all kinds of different directions but I've never found it, and I think it was a lot bigger last year than previously

I think the first year I went (2009) I ended up at what I assume was a Rabbit Hole party (although it wasn't through the Rabbit Hole bar) on the thursday (I think)

I've not found anything like it since. My advice would be, if a man offers you a carrot in exchange for a riddle, it's probably worth answering the riddle.

I'm intrigued by the tunnel under the railway

[EmsieXxX]

So we don't know exactly where the piano bar is? My friends only found It once in 2011! I'm intrigued by a lot of these places!!

Now THIS is interesting.

It really doesn't move, at least not year to year.

The first underground piano bar was around either once or twice, about 10-15 years ago, and was located in the Craft Field.

The second incarnation started in one of 2007-2009, and has been located at exactly the same place each time, almost to the inch. It's at the Southern end of Dragon Field.

[alframsey]

I've found every place mentioned in this thread apart from the tunnel under the railway... I found one tiny little tunnel which was just a link between fields either side of the tracks but nothing worth speaking about. Where do you bloody find it? Oh and the Rabbit Hole, never been able to locate that.

Sounds like you did find the tunnel then.

It's mostly notable as a (really good) shortcut from Green Futures to Greenpeace. A couple of times in the past some effort has been made to do something with it - decoration, ambient sounds, etc but ultimately it's still just a foot tunnel.

Rabbit hole in the Park, easy to find, not so easy to get in in my experience.

Yup! Always found it! Never got in! Too busy

yeah we found a great chill out cafe that sold fab Irish coffees and carrot cake with squashy settees

[Rodbull]

Found all of these bar whatever is hidden in the craft fields. This is why you have got to love Glasto. Found the underground piano bar last year while the wife and daughter where doing there own thing. Took the mrs back later and it was closed!

[suzie sue]

The rabbit hole is the best fun ever, sat up on the hill watching people crawling in and out, trying to work out how to get in, intrigued to find some of these other places
