Good memories of dancing in the T&C bar most years on the Wednesday/Thursday 

The Green Room Bar? Managed to blag into there a few times, it's lovely!

there was a tiny one near WG in 2019 called the drunk turtle or something like that. Just to the right hand side. Sold craft beer cans etc. Was a nice spot before WG shows

Upstairs at the Avalon Inn on the wednesday, watching the site fill up. Marvelous stuff 🙂

 

 

We sat in there on the Tuesday afternoon last time next to one of the chaps who was responsible for building it. Was great chatting to him.

It was 'cruise ship' themed one year... I think - cocktails and dreams from memory. Cheesy music, cocktails, deckchairs and palm trees 🙂

Cocktails and dreams was another tent entirely but in the same place ..think it was sponsored by Smirnoff ? Edit it was PlayStation https://www.theprojectclub.co.uk/cocktails-and-dreams

Don't think it was anything to blag into, pretty sure it was a big Carlsberg tent with green flowers or something plastered along the sides

Yeah I just rememeber it being in the same place.... wow don;t remember it being sponsored by Playstation. But I do remember having a good time Thursday afternoon post cheerleading at the efests world cup match on the pyramid field and drinking too many cocktails in a deck chair afterwards.... wearing a wateraid t shirt and fairy wings of course 🙂

I remember ending up with an inflatable Smirnoff bottle … no idea where that came from though…

I liked Goose Hall when we did Worthy Pastures last year.

Presumed it might’ve be crew-only during the festival - but looking at the 2019 map it just looks like we just never stumbled into it before.

I'm fairly sure Goose Hall is the crew's catering place.

I can't believe I've got to the end of the thread and no one has mentioned the Bimble Inn - best bar on site. Also the cheapest too, outside of crew bars. Otter Ale is normally a full £2 cheaper per pint than at Avalon!

From memory, it was a crew bar in the unfair ground. Had a pool table 🙂

found a pic I took (2016) of the bar prices so I could decide while sat down and not clog up the bar 😄

Was Wally’s the one that had the cut through to jump the SE corner queue? Or is that Maceos?

Wallys I think - you could cut in from near the stone circle then exit out the 'front' of the bar.

 

Maceos only has one entrance as far as I remember, as the 'back' is the railway line

What are the queues like in the bars in terms of getting a drink?

the bigger ones, worker beer tent ones etc, quite quick, they have people pre pouring pints, so you just tap your card and go.

The smaller bars, depends on the crowd and how many bar staff, same as any busy pub really 🙂

I don't think I've ever waited more than a couple of minutes normally. Longest I've waited has been at Brothers Bar. 

Saying that I've never tried a bar in SE Corner at night, I imagine that would be a longer queue.

This is the Elephant bar, we found it on the Thursday and got a seat and this was on the WhatsApp to the wider group to come and find us. Dangerously strong craft beer
