Chef Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Having done Worthy View myself I agree with others that the main selling point is the car park being 5 minutes away - it allowed us to bring so much more stuff and goes some way to covering some of the additional cost as spent far less on drinks and food at the festival.

The car park being next door is a godsend, especially when your wife is pregnant and can't carry anything heavy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be (ticket permitting) trying to get Tipi's again for 2019. do they have their own bar and cafe in the tipi village? will be trying for one this year fingers crossed that we get tickets first ... prays to the ticket gods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in tipis at Boomtown and it’s not as fancy as that, but it’s still a lovely area and really well located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends stayed in them in 2011 and I went in to have a look. They are nice inside, just a big open space so you need to be pretty good friends, no privacy.

hannahlmoore Posted September 17, 2018 Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Tangerine Fields is great - I've done it at Bestival but they also cover Glasto according to their site. Really reasonably priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'd go for summat like that even if I could somehow ever afford it.

I'd feel like my Glastonbury experience was being compromised if I went luxury, but sure people who go for this stuff will feel otherwise.

Tipis are £1075 / £180-ish each and they're in a cracking spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Course Glastonbury means different things to different people, there will be people there who couldn't give a shit about the causes the festival donates to and seeks to represent. Bloody hell, even a couple of years ago when they had Corbyn on doing his speech on the Pyramid I was reading comments all over Facebook and articles with people saying to keep politics out of Glastonbury, and I'm sat there thinking what... Sorry I'm on a hungover ramble, celebrated a little bit too much getting tickets yesterday, managed to wait nearly four hours after getting tickets for first pint, mind.. But yeah, summat about gentrification at Glastonbury just feels wrong to me with it really being a product of inequality and I can see how that can be used against the festival's causes. Cos that's what people are like and Glastonbury's full of hypocritical liberal elite champagne socialists or some bollocks like that, cos people think attacking a character is better than debating anything they stand for. Anyway, like I say Glastonbury means different things to different people and I'll definitely be getting different things out of it. I'm probably over-thinking and under-articulating 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
