Are there water filling points for camper vans? 
Also, can your van move off your pitch once you’re there? 
We’d like to go into Glastonbury etc and will only have the van as a transport option. 

Lots of water points for vans. One big tap at the bottom of the hook ups and then proper sink and taps at the top by where the Pyramid long drops are. Pitches are enormous. Could have put another van alongside us and to the back. 

Very easy to leave site and come back on.

The weather looks great! Hopefully everyone is having a great time and the rain holds off. I have an interest as I am just down the road at Farmfest this coming weekend!

Some more pictures of the campervan area - also the electric hookup was very good, full power.

So on arrival are you allocated a tent or can you request what area you want to stay in?

Some nice photos on Glastonbury festival website!!

What's the car park like, any photos? My car has quite a low clearance.

Just got our tent number for Friday arrival. Not sure if I have asked this and can't see anything on the map but are there lock ups ?

Same here - very near the railway line. I was just going to put everything that needed locking up in the car as its so close.

There will be campsite hubs around the site each with a manned property storage/lockup area. We don’t advise bringing valuables, but lockups will be accessible during daylight hours for small items. Campsite Hubs will be staffed 8am – 8pm.

We've been given our number. Our group are together which is great. Creep Ground. 1021

Creep Ground is where permaculture would be in the corner. Is there any permaculture there at the mo?

Wanted to bring my decent camera to get some pictures. Assuming thats small enough to bang in the lockup though was thinking of having it for some sunset shots so 8pm is a bit early.

Blimey! Looks quite dated inside (and not in a good way!)

Some of my older friends (who've been going to Glastonbury since early/mid 90s) said they used to go to that pub and get smashed then go onto the site with their rucksacks....obviously all pre-super fence etc.

I think since I started going in 2004 that pub has always been shut as we went past it the first year I went and it was closed as got directed to West parking for some odd reason and we went right through Pilton.

there are no pictures of the inside, all of that is in the garden.

and the pub has been closed during the Festival for years, they are paid to close to remove incentives for the punters to go into the village.

OK the bit where the pool table looks dated (apologies if that's in the garden too!)

Do you know when they started closing during the festival?

🙂 I was liking the garden theme ... hopefully picks up some trade from worthy pastures 🙂

yes, it is in the garden, open at the front.  They have built that, a children's castle. put a pizza air steam in the garden corner, covered area with tables, built a smoker for barbie food, removed hedges and generally vastly improved the garden area.  The inside is closed until after the refurb.

previous tenants relied on the owner to spend money on the place but he chose not to.  The new owner has the money to finally sort the place out.

Sounds good, I may make a visit when I'm next in the area when the festival isn't on. 🙂

The garden photos look really good, though I was fond of  the unstable seats and tables, the wasps and slippy step into the bar of the old beer garden.  Looking forward to a visit to the crown again!

the beer choice has improved as well, some hipster crap tasting of feckin fruit and some decent cask. All round good drinks choice now.  They stay open until the weather stops being OK, then close for full inside refurb.
