Surely it would be better for people to turn up over the course of an hour or so beforehand rather than turning up en masse at exactly 1pm? Anyway...sod it. Tomorrow is gonna be sunny and we'll have a beer on the go at 1pm. Happy days! Edited May 23, 2018 by Flaminglippy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Amazing_Oblong Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) I can see why they say they will turn people away prior to 1pm but it's not really possible where it's located. Bit like Glastonbury it's down country lanes, it simply would not be possible to turn any amount of traffic around and virtually nowhere to park up nearby so I'm pretty sure you will be allowed on the car parks if you happen to arrive before 1. Not doing so would cause problems. Even though it is situated off a country road it's one of the main routes between Tamworth and Burton. Fully expect gates not to open until 1pm and tbh it's fairly pointless aiming to arrive early because there isn't much of a queue (judging from last 2 years) and there is plenty of camping space and none of it is very far from the arena entrance so very much unlike Glastonbury there's no real advantage to getting there early. Edit - Oh and we are going as Bees on Sunday apparently. No idea how the girls got from Magical forest creatures like pixies and elfs to land on Bees but there you go. If you see a bunch of bees on Sunday it could be us lot. Edited May 23, 2018 by The_Amazing_Oblong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset, I know it’s an odd time, i didn’t arrange it I’m just doing what I’m told. I think it was either stay up and leave late or go to bed and get up at 4-5 anyway to add, we are performers/crew so unsure if we’ll be able to get in earlier, but I’m guessing it’ll be ok Edited May 23, 2018 by Michaels denim shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ™ Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Vehicles will be turned away, it's easy to turn them round in a field and send them away again. Police will move people on who are blocking laybys, local side roads. Just arrive after 1pm, remember the locals need to use that road and it can put the licence at risk. If they let people in early officially, then people would start arriving at 11am, then 10am etc... Edited May 23, 2018 by Paul ™ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 If you’re looking at the same forecast as me (BBC), then it rates the chances of rain at 50% (at its worst). Let’s keep our finger crossed! Setting off at 11 - little boy is very excited about going to to his first festival. He stood up in the front of his class yesterday and told the teacher and his friends all about it. This ruining our plans of pulling a sickie for him for the last 2 days of term 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Is it always this slow to get in? Been queuing for over an hour and a half now! Moved about a mile in that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
