Camping at Worthy Farm

[Pinhead]

Just now, Ayrshire Chris said:

Many dates and tent types now sold out, showing tickets not available.  I assume that the license has a maximum number of campers so they can’t just chuck up a few more tents if demand is high. 

Most likely yeah. Anyone catch anything that pointed to a projected capacity with all tents full.

[Pinhead]

Hope we're all booking by jumping through the link from eFests......!

[Deacon]

Bit annoying Fri 27th August Bank hol you have to stay 4 nights instead of the usual 3. 

[stuartbert two hats]

Just booked 3 nights in a bell tent from the 13th.

[Homer]

I'll probably just jump the fence. Or get a wristband off a scouser on the gate.

[Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car]

Worthy Pastures was better in the old days.

[adamski]

So what's the weather going to be like then?

[ModernMan]

Booked for three nights mid august, can’t wait! It will be fantastic to spend some time on the farm and have beers/great food with friends 

[GlastoEls]

Got mine, really looking forward to it!

[Simsy]

Normally avoid going on holiday during school hols, so wasn't going to bother, but have ended up booking 4 nights.

Probably somewhere in the licence agreement if u can access that

Does anyone know anything about the medical situation? I have a type 1 diabetic in my party, so need to keep insulin cool.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Right, Sorted so now on to the September thingy! 😀

The website says "Medicine can be safely stored in the campsite hub areas. Please do let us know if this is required in advance of your arrival." @crazyfool1 might be able to give advice on keeping insulin cool.

You can keep insulin cool with festival medical services who will be there on site. I’ve read that somewhere but can’t find it now. Failing that, they will find a way to help, I’m sure 🙂

Think I saw that info on theFAQs , If not, it’s definitely somewhere .  Once things calm down there’s a Worthy pastures e mail address for questions etc

it looks like they must have found another box of Bell Tents as these now seem to be freely available for all the weekend bookings.

my theory is they want to ensure a certain % arrive on Weds-Thurs so its not a ghost town (plus more income) and are holding back tents which will be later released for Friday bookings if no interest

[MrHew]

Some friends have booked a weekend mid August and are trying to talk us into it. I desperately want to but we just don't have the £440.

We do have a couple of summer holidays booked already so mustn't grumble. But I'm still grumbling.

[Hugh Jass]

Did briefly think about it this morning but decided against it. Will hold out for the September event.

Thanks all, I did try looking at the site, but didn't see anything about medicines. I've emailed the info address, it sounds like they'll reply saying the hubs can store it

I booked five nights for a couple of reasons, the site will be quieter early doors so hopefully easier for the family to get involved in activities, play on facilities etc. Then the plan is absolutely to spent a day in Glastonbury Town and a little walk up to the Tor.  Not worried about being bored at all, if anything I can see the time flying really quickly.

@Simsy cheers  yep I can … there is a very easy solution for @stuartbert two hats  … it’s called frio and it’s very simple … the pouch needs activating with a short soak In water … 20mins ish and will keep insulin at the required temp whilst on the farm …. I keep spare insulin in the lockup’s at g in a pouch … and carry 1 pouch with me with my pens in it … no issues with any kind of heat although it might need reactivating after 3 days ish depending on heat 

Amazon link 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=frio+insulin+cooling+wallet&sprefix=frio&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_4

they are also available elsewhere and from diabetes U.K. … but they charge a premium 

blue one activated , black one yet to be activated

I decided I couldn't justify the expense in the end, which is a shame as I'd love to have gone. The scout tents aren't bad value but that's a fairly standard camping experience at a premium price, whereas going up to the bell tent... I can have an actual holiday for that money. 

[Ayrshire Chris]

Tents seem well spread out around the farm. From kids zone to the railway line.  The cows seem to have the cider bus to themselves!
