35+ years ago those things were mental.  You'd never quite know whether the fuse was slow or scarily quick until you lit it 😱

The only sensible option would be for Claire’s partner to build an undetectable but critical area of weakness into the fence to allow access to the site

Of course due to the high security he’d need to entrust the plans into the care of a utility droid to get them off site and into the hands of the eFests rebel alliance. But those are minor details.

I’m pretty sure we can convince a local farm hand to smuggle the plans out.

Oh are you still allowed to bring knives back, like in the glory days of school trips with flick knives and french bangers?

On a school trip in the 80s to Bayeux we bought loads of bangers, some bright spark decided to let a load off at the tapestry museum, we were politely asked to leave……France.

Aye, sometimes I see kids get slated for stuff and know that we all make mistakes.

Bring them down to the farm. I set off a load of fireworks when I was incredibly drunk in 98 and was shocked that the stewards in those days were fully supportive 😊

Pretty sure it's just the equivalent (artist areas) of the one at the side of the Pyramid. Just a bit smaller.

need a bit longer to get them looking nice inside i guess 🙂

I suspect that there are individual band/artist tents within tents, so that acts have private areas. A bit like this.

Yeah I'd get kicked out in minutes if I let them all off there these days! Remember when the whole site was just people letting off fireworks at one another (and burning tents)....

I genuinely can't remember if the ones to the left have been there before? The long drops and toilets to the right have definitely always been there.

No. it's put up each time. 2019 was the first time. Like everything else on site, it's pretty impressive.

 

EDIT: Just saw the previous reply.

Tried to tell my newbie companion that they build a popup supermarket every festival. She wasn’t approving until I let her know the festival also has a net positive environmental impact. Got a 🤯 moment.
