Has anyone got some 'personal' photos of Worthy View?

I’ve got Worthy View this year. I’ll be arriving by coach. What is the craic with that? What do people recommend? What is the situation with showers and do you get searched coming in/out of the campsite each time?

I’ve stayed at WV before and would recommend it. Not sure about coach details but from memory they only check your wristbands at the entrance/exit and I think some people got searched but it wasn’t many (I could be wrong as the memory is fading). I didn’t use the showers but some of the people I was with did and didn’t have any complaints.

I’d echo everything that’s already been said. The showers did get shit once or twice in 2017 because of water supply issues, and the queues got quite long before reopened. This was around 11am. They were shut in 2019 at various points too but that was a site wide issue.

Blimey...I appreciate what the festival is trying to do but that area looks completely soulless.

It is different, and if you're with a big group of people you're better off carving your own chunk of the main site.  

But it is nice getting some sleep, not having to worry about being kicked in the head by drunk passer-bys, and you typically have the campfire in the area with the bar.

So not soulless, I'd say more "Chill".

Here’s a photo of the 2017 wristband.

Absolutely nothing else to see on the photo.

Nothing else to see? Am I the only one who can see an adorable cat?

Went back to the start of this thread to remind myself of the OP. Does anyone else have a fucking clue what we were wittering on about?! @Hugh Jass II @SwedgeAntilles? 😂

IIRC it was a callback to some deeply homoerotic banter between myself and you.

That seems to me - someone who has never stayed there - a really honest and informed opinion 👍

Hi all,

Does anyone know if you have to enter through a special gate the first time you arrive at Worthy View?

I plan on catching the coach, picking up my ticket at PGA and then slowly making my way to worthy view by bar crawling across the site with a big smile on my face.

But.. my plan may be thwarted if I’m required to grab my ticket at PGA and then find a way to Worthy View before I enter the festival..

I saw this on the Worthy View Glastonbury chat face book page.  Sounds like you're given a festival wristband on entry at Gate A and you make your way up to WV where they'll swap it for a WV wristband.

So its not 2 wristbands? Like the regular ga one plus a wv? Guess ill have the regular wristband on for a couple hours and lose out on the souvenir. Unless they cut it off.

Stayed at WV twice, parked in their car park, and it’s one wristband that’s checked everytime you leave and enter through the Pennard Hill gate. If I recollect the first time we went they exchanged out tickets for the wristbands but the second time we retained  the tickets and had to show them whenever we went to the WV car park to replenish supplies.

Can anyone give a personal account of getting the coach and then being transferred via bus to Worthy View? Have I made this up or is it possible?

There is a bus that runs regularly through the day. We arrived on an official coach to gate A on Wednesday afternoon in 2017 and got the shuttle bus around to Worthy View. It might be different at different times of day but I remember it being very straightforward - we didn't have to wait long and it took probably about twenty minutes to transfer around.

The WV bus stops right at the check in gate, so no distance to drag your gear.

Right that’ll do for me then. Trying to make it as faff free as I can. Thinking train from Warrington-Bristol. Jump on a coach/bus from there to gate A and then jump on bus up to Worthy View. Not in any major rush on the Wednesday truth be told.

Nice one. Be travelling light.  
 

Can you get air beds/sleeping bags at WV or would people recommend I bring me own?

If you're getting the train you could go to Castle Cary and get the shuttle bus from there to worthy view.

We did this in 2019. Took us ages to get out of the station, but once we were in the car park we found a steward to direct us past the gate A bus queue to the worthy view bus.

Getting to Castle Cray is w*nk though innit. Got the train out of there before. Bristol is on the West Coast main line so decent service. Castle Cray can’t handle the amount of bodies Glastonbury brings through in my experience.

Mate of mine spent 3 1/2 hrs there in 2019 trying to get onto a train.

Grim.

Hey lovely, sounds like a great plan but that’s a really long way to carry your gear hope you are travelling light.  I heard there are minibuses that take us to WV.
