I would say that’s staging of the park, there is a track that goes up the hill to where it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padgey Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 I don't think the Hot Spots have been updated, the BBC Introducing stage now has a new location. Also wasn't the Greenfield Ship left in place a long time after the last festival, when did that get taken away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were doing it as a single, ever growing, piece of fence - then probably weeks. Once they kick in full speed, they should be working on 3 or 4 sections at once so it won't play out like that.

Love that question! I recollect back in 2016 the whole stock of wood chip that existed in central southern England was heading for Glastonbury . No one else could get it. Then again that just might be one of those legendary anecdotes that are associated with our festival. Tons had to be dumped in front of the other stage, under the watchful eye and supervision by Michael just prior to James performance. There’s always been piles of the stuff just next to cockmill lane over the last few years. Edited May 6, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they build it up quite a while in advance so might be quite a process to get the amount required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually my first time seeing him up close. A load of James fans were standing together at the left hand side of the Other Stage barriers that were still in place as they placed the wood chippings, he walked towards the stage on the inside about 50 paces from us, got a nice wave and a grin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would be pretty daft not to, given the number of trees that have come down. However, I can not say I’ve ever noticed the production. They are using a lot of felled trees to make the wooden fences that are between each stall. Plus the bonfires of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
