Not sure whats open.But we started drinking at 6am once we arrived.Pitched by 10.And then out until the early ours, its a blur but something must be going off.I think we was up in the Park for a while at the Stonebridge bar, Chilled by the stone circle too

What sort of time do the fireworks normally go off at the stone circle on the Wednesday night?

One reason I love the Wednesday is because everyone goes 100%. The mixture of happiness, friends and alcohol is exceptional.

[Lynsey Cox]

Where's the disco tent?

everywhere!!!

[bennyboi]

I completely misread this sentence....carry on

Ah yes that first tent WALK of the festival, but gross after day 2

It was around 10:30 in 2013 according to a photo timestamp

Not a pretty sight

All the bars are open. Think stuff happens in the SE corner. 100% of the times I've been I've said I'll not get too drunk on the Weds and 100% of the time I've been too excited and plastered by 7pm.

it may appear like that but in fact not all the bars are open

Most bars are open { although if there is light demand then the Bar Manager may close down a bar early }

I will be sent the rough times and which WBC ones are planned to be open so if I remember will post them here } and will hope to have the times for the Avalon bars as well { as they have a few that will not be open on the Wednesday }

Last year was the first year I got to the stone circles for the burning of the giant wooden pigeon and the best fire work display I've ever seen, then we went to shangri-la as they had some djs on on heaven , it made for a great start to the festival

[carlosj]

Never make plans on Wednesday night. Just wander around, sit and drink for a bit, wander somewhere else, drink some more and continue until you pass out. It's more fun that way.

This.

After suffering massive burn out by Saturday night last year I'll be taking it very steady Wednesday & Thursday, although I'm pretty sure I said that last year

[owenmc606]

Start drinking at 11am, explore the site, fall asleep by 10/11pm, solid day

[tezshields]

Deffo Green Fields area and Croissant Neuf. As well as the famous Band Stand I highly recommend The Small World Stage for music. Some great wee treats and ive been very lucky to catch some excellent artists.

Bloody impossible to find people in Stone Circle on the Wednesday night because of the shadows from bonfire, huge numbers of people and negatives effects a bag of wine has on your vision and directional sense

i say that every year. i am a complete mess by sunday and just want to go home. saturday is a real struggle, but sunday is never enjoyable.

i am determined to be different this year but i know it won't happen.

[johnomatic]

The advice on wondering people have been giving is good, don't rule out SE corner either. I ended up in the London Underground last year on the Wednesday night, and to my surprise, once you were inside it might as well have been the Saturday.

[JBarbour]

Did Glastonbury ever get the go ahead for amplified sound on the Wednesday evening?
I'm sure I remember reading they applied for it at the same time as the licence extension. But can't remember if it got the thumbs up

[gmb1992]

2013 Wednesday night i was completely overcooked and in bed at 8pm

Not making that mistake again!!

Stone Circle is good but will agree it gets way too busy there now so may try something different this year. Everyone always goes too hard on Wednesday, it's just natural, every holiday in my lifetime you are too excited 1st night and always end up drinking too much. Also, all of the alcohol you may have brought is still normally reasonably cold / chilled so you drink more I think as it's nice to drink cold alcohol for at least 1 night without paying for it at the bars

Last year we were in campervan west - went for a walk around the site and ended up at the back of the Pyramid. That's literally the opposite end of the site. Turns out my mate had led us on this trek deliberately so he could have a poo in the flushable toilets. Little bastard.

[Space Shanty]

We had a ball in the SE corner on the Wednesday night last year.

The traipse back to the tent at 5 or 6am was shambolic.

I'd like to spend a good while in The Park this year after the eFests meet on the Wednesday, and then maybe head to the SE corner in the early hours to loosen the limbs up a bit for a weekend of shameless shape throwing

[Sofa]

Didn't really venture very far on Wednesday last year .Far to many hot knives in my mates truck really stopped my limbs from making any decision at all to be honest but went for a walk at sunrise Thursday morning .lovely stuff .

Pretty sure it was between 8:45-9:30 latest. Not long after the fireworks I got disgracefully wrecked but spent the next 3 hours ensuring 2 mates didn't go clinically insane. Was extremely humorous looking back!
