Purple parking

[Narnia]

Hi all,

I am just wondering about carparks and whether purple parking was reserved for staff or can the public park there too? (I have read it is a lottery which one you go into but just wondered if that was a complete 'no-go' as I have parked there myself as volunteer but we specifically had a sticker with purple parking on as if it was only for us)

Cheers

Purple tends to be a restricted parking area with dedicated access passes like you have mentioned in your post.

Ah ok, I should lose all hope of parking so close to ped gate B then!

I prefer to park near a campsite even if it means walk to anywhere during the festival is mega long. I have good legs when it comes to walking without carrying anything

Last year volunteering our designated camp spot was in spring fields so really close as got into closest purple carpark, but it was longest walk ever when going to anywhere in festival! I prefer that tho, so looking for something similar.

Wondering about West car parks and Bushy ground.

Even tho it's not something to bank on i'm trying to think of plan a), b, c) ....

Last year you could head for purple as a choice. The bottom part was reserved parking. It was somethig of a nightmare for a lot of people getting in tho with a horrendous snaking queue. Also from the new published site map, some of purple parking has been given over to crew camping and maybe there will be no choice of entry to purple this year anyway. Hobson choice I'm afraid.
