Twiggy553 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Is there a pub/bar crawl map anywhere? The mate i’m with this year likes a drink so I figure a pubcrawl on the Wednesday night might be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mate i’m with this year likes a drink so I figure a pubcrawl on the Wednesday night might be fun Im not sure the concept of a rigid pub crawl makes sense given the number of available bars and how big the festival is (and thus the walking). Also if you were to restrict yourself to the bars marked on the map you'd mainly be limiting yourself to the official festival drinks, where there are smaller bars selling a range of different drinks and give yo more choice. That said, if there were there would be the following I'd recommend as essential. Not necessarily because they are the best bars but because they are iconic (though most of them are pretty good). Could do it as a bingo card for the weekend, rather than a pub crawl which would be exhausting. - Cider Bus (East of Pyramid) - Brothers Bar (west holts) - Stonebridge Bar (Park) - Rabbit hole (Park) - Beat hotel, now San Remo (West of pyramid). (Might be a personal choice but one of my favourite bars in the past) Then as some optionals, simply because they are always there. Mostly sell the festival official drinks. - Arcadia Bar (Arcadia field, Park) - Bread and Roses (i think i got that right, main markets area south east of pyramid) - Mandela bar (pyramid) - Solstice bar (other stage) - Ridge and furrow. You could probably also do a bar crawl solely in the south-east corner, and Rumshack and Rocket Lounge would have to be on that list.

I was going to comment on this when i read this earlier and left it. Sound clash must have been awful with the other stage. I guess the thinking must have been it would be nearer lots of infrastructure vs out on its own Edited May 8 by gfa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradders Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 It didn’t start til midnight, once the Other Stage had finished. I do remember them testing the pyro earlier on though which was a bit distracting in the Other field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of imagination, and licensing considerations i think. Prior to that the southeast corner was getting silly. They moved Arcadia and introduced the one-way system to try to alleviate that (which only slightly worked). At that time it was perceived they couldn’t have anything pumping out sound north and west of the naughty corner so they “inched” Arcadia up a bit, but not too close to pilton etc. I guess after that they decided that sacrificing some camping space was okay, and that it wouldn’t be too hard to get an amplified music license (though it did appear to be dialled down a bit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingbat2 Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I do remember always being so impressed by Arcadia since it started in 2007 or 2008 when it was in SE corner, it seemed so different and so impressive every time I saw it. Then they moved it to "a mainstream" part of the site and it didn't seem so special for me, partly because it was there, in your face, during the day. I always thought it was a bit of a secret find when tucked away in the SE corner, even though you could see the fire from all over the site. They did have the Lords of Lightning though which were always ace, and it still all looks pretty cool looking at the photos/vids of 2013 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I often think it would be really ace to still have live music playing on some of the other main stages eg Park after the headliners finished, even if it was only new bands, BBC introducing bands, Emerging talent acts, even tribute acts/retro acts. I couldnt think if anything better than watching a decent band whilst chilling out with a beer or two in the early hours of the morning. I think they would get a good crowd too away from the dance music which often seems to be the only music allowed after hours (appreciate there are exceptions - Subgiant at 2am in the Bimble Inn being a particular highlight from my fuzzy memory!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information is out there, but it works slightly differently to that. In terms of allowed decibels - that's only really a factor in terms of how it affects the various off-site monitoring points, with those being based around Pilton Village and Sticklinch so they don't tend to get affected as much by noise coming from the SE Corner. The list of venues and permitted hours for them can be seen on the festival licence - https://russ.garrett.co.uk/2016/06/13/glastonbury-festival-license/ - it's on Page 11 of the Command Control etc plan. The way I understand it is that the decision on which "group" a venue gets allocated to is a combination of where the venue is located and how much noise it's likely to generate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see somewhere that someone said that the local charity volunteers do 12 hour shifts but none where I am do. And yes all of them do overnight shifts. An example of one person I know their shift pattern is this Thursday 0000 - Thursday 0800, Friday 0800 - 1600, Saturday1600 - 0000 Our team do thursday and saturday 6pm to 6am or friday and sunday 6am to 6pm! But with all the changes this year who knows!!! the new campsites will add an interesting take on things!!! im wondering if Acadia may be a bigger space which is why have put moved extra public camping in the stewards camping in diary!

The volunteers got moved out because of licence change allowing more punters, more punters also means more volunteers so volunteers were initially moved to new site and crew camping down on west side was reduced to make space for new punters camping grounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the map, it is slightly, but also capacity is going up an extra 7000 supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how many are in WV, but we know most of the non Scout tents have been moved to Sticklinch. Also Sticklinch is about 80% of the size of WV.
