You've made me want to go for a wander on the farm @Ayrshire Chris. I was going to wait until spring but I reckon a nice winter walk might be needed now.

Yes,cold, frosty but sunny. And quite a few sheep as well as the cows. Just the small matter of a 450 mile drive home tomorrow!

Hi Guys,

I'm staying near the site 27th-29th Dec with my girlfriend and dog in a cottage.

Going to walk the site (obvs!) - is the skate park the place to park my car and from there where is the best route in?

@Ayrshire Chris  Any tips? 🙂 

Will be taking the dog on the lead with me, and my girlfriend hates big crowds so will never go to the festival itself but wants to see all of the site as she loves watching it on TV. 🙂 

Hoping to get a pic with the hound in front of the Pyramid if possible!

Yes skate park though we had booked a meal in the crown pub and as it was midweek they kindly let us park there. Some of the site understandably fenced off due to cows and sheep.  Half way home now ! 
I would avoid the concrete road from red gate that goes down past Park farm, lots of farm traffic not associated with the festival use it.

We have booked a meal at The Crown for the 1st night we are there and will then visit the site the following day. 

What route did you walk onto the site from The Crown pub?

Down the hill opposite the Crown, Through the woods down past the tithe barn following the public footpath.

You could also go down Hitchin Hill and through the style on to the site at the covered long drops.

Have booked the Lion Inn in West Pennard and the Natterjack inn in Evercreech for our two nights dining whilst there!

Sounds great, if you have time and want some exercise to work off all that food climb the Tor and try and spot the peak of the pyramid in the distance.

We will have our dog with us so will take him up the Tor...hope his little legs can handle those steps (he's a Jack Russell Terrier)

You never know might even see Emily Eavis out and about taking photos for instagram when we walk the Farm! 😄

More likely to get  a cheery wave from the smiling grey bearded driver of an old land rover as he drives past. 😉😊

    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9    
    • Do people want an arena experience though? Especially for sub par bands. Rather a band do more nights at an independent venue for more money than 1 big one.
