stuartbert two hats Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm very much up for this. Have a nice camping holiday with the family in Worthy, use it as a base for trips into Glastonbury and Cheddar. Wake up, have a mooch around the farm and then explore Somerset. I've already started campaigning hard with my family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Somerset Live doing it's "even a stopped clock", actually decent coverage thing.

I'm sure someone can do a decent overlay but in the meantime here's a bodge job as I was also interested. My usual camping spot is well outside the red area yet I can guarantee that's where I'd end up waking up... confused, tentless and looking for a longdrop. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnomicide Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 This is just the camping to go along with the shows in September isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's a separate thing entirely. They're planning to do family camping at Worthy Farm in August with no partying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted but they've not finalised the date yet, could be any time in September and may include camping for set up/dismantle staff. They've also asked for 28 days next year.

Dukeicon Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 The application went up on Sunday - I posted it in the September 2021 Glastonbury thread. Interesting they are applying for the campsite for 56 days this year (covid allows this) this year and for 28 days in subsequent years too. 2021/0655/CLP | Application for a proposed lawful development certificate for part of Worthy Farm as a family focused temporary campsite for 56 days in summer 2021 and 28 days in subsequent years. https://publicaccess.mendip.gov.uk/online-applications/centralDistribution.do?caseType=Application&keyVal=QQ7Z01KPI9Y00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Makes you wonder what would happen to this lovely family-friendly campsite after a year like 2007 or 2016 - I wouldn't want to camp there on a year like that.

I'd be all for it but I'm not convinced this is a separate thing. The (applied for) licence for the music event specifically states no camping on site. Given that the licences are entirely separate, Emily talked about them being separate in that interview, I think it's reasonable to assume they're separate. I'm sure MDC wouldn't be too happy if they used the parallel licences at a way around that. 27 minutes ago, Dukeicon said: This map, as far as i'm aware, shows the Worth Farm boundary, which is the application area.

Though the map doesn't include fields that are definitely part of Worthy Farm - Row Mead, Big Ground, and Kidney Mead for a start. Or the farmhouse itself and associated buildings.

danmarks Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 If you look at lunarfest website- they did this last year (camping on where the festival normally would be) with limited stuff for weekends May and June. Theyre doing the same this year so I would imagine Worthy farm camping would be same sort of set up. Not cheap mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dukeicon Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 The planning application as been deemed as Development is Lawful. That's the first hurdle out of the way. Now they just need to decide if they want to do it and get planning! https://publicaccess.mendip.gov.uk/online-applications/centralDistribution.do?caseType=Application&keyVal=QQ7Z01KPI9Y00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
