Getting to Gate A coming from the west

Can anyone recommend a good route to get to gate A if coming from the west (Oxford). Would usually head south and come along the A303 but worried I'll get ushered into the east carparks. Will be camping in Darble and really don't fancy a trek across the whole site with all my shit. Considering heading to Bristol then down, but wondered if anyone knows a better way.

Long way round though....you could also look at M4 > J18 > A46 to Bath > A367 > A362 > A39 to Wells > then take the Glastonbury Road south from Wells and you'll be directed off through Launcherley and North Wootton villages into West car parks.

If you're nearer to the M4 then see my post above.  If you're nearer to M3 then I'd suggest M3 > A303 > off at Stonehenge onto A360 > B390 across Salisbury Plain > A36 > A362 to Frome.  From Frome head to Shepton Mallet on A361 but be careful to then take directions to Wells and then head south as in post above.

Perfect, thanks so much for the info!

Look out for an OUFC / Bowie flag :)

      Wasn't just me who thought it was either oversold or inadequately setup for the event then? For Pride, over the weekend, where there's also acts in the large blue marquee that was to the right of the "arena" (for want of a better term), it's probably much better as people are dispersed more. Thought the band were great, as was Nick, though he was clearly struggling with his voice at times.

      I got in for £11.25 in the end, which was absolutely ridiculously good value, and made the queues and overselling of the venue much more tolerable! Sniping in on other people’s unwanted tickets on the day of an event might become my new hobby I think 🥳

      Ann and Nancy Wilson are planning a final world tour for HEART starting next year. They were never at Glastonbury. They should do it.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.
