The Rabbit Hole..

[Aries]

Looking for some advice from you experienced lot...went to Glasto for the first time last year and loved it and have heard a lot about the 'secret' Rabbit Hole bar and hoping to make it there this year. Few questions..

1. Is the secret bar open all day or just in the evenings? I've got a fair chunk of time on the Saturday after Big Thief and will already be in the Park so thinking that might be a good time to try if it's open then. 

2. I saw a video on youtube showing people queuing for it but have also heard you need to answer a riddle or have a playing card to get in, can anyone clarify?

Cheers!

1. Evenings, check out 'Rabbit Hole's Funkingham Palace' on the lineup page

2. Now that would be telling 😀

[Aries]

Haha, didn't think it would be so easy.

Just checked out Funkingham Palace, thanks! Given me an idea of when it's open, I'll have a poke around beforehand and see if I spot anything. Not overly fussed on Saturday headliners, planning on Roisin at WH followed by Four Tet but might skip Roisin and try for here if we feel like it on the day!

Hmmm I'm intrigued! Better get my thinking cap on 😄

Odd question: are their toliets available there?

 

The idea of queueing for half an hour and then needing to leave for a wizz isn't inviting.

 

Same goes for Stonebridge and NYC Downlow I guess, does anyone know?

Yes for rabbit hole 🕳 no for Stonebridge … you need to hold it or use the ones just outside park … and yes for nyc downlow

1. It's not that secret anymore, it's on the lineup and the map. There are two areas though. 

2. No riddle needed for entry. 

 

Fwiw it was fun getting in and crawling round the stuff to get to the area, would recommend queuing for 15 mins if you can. But it's not really not worth wasting hours queuing for it.

Yeah to be honest I won't queue hours for anything as there's so much else to do, but it does seems like a fun experience and one for the glasto bucket list so if the timings right I'll definitely try and check it out!

[kingbadger]

Head up around there at the right time on a Wednesday and you might be invited in, we were last time out.

[lebenski]

There are better secret areas than the rabbit hole 😉

[One Tonne Baby]

Been there once and although we didn’t need a riddle to get in, let’s just say that it helped queue jump!

once in, be sure to explore every knook and hidden cranny!

Last time they were doing stamps for stonebridge as long as you came straight back it wasn't a problem.

Where abouts is it? Always see a queue up the hill but can never tell where to get in. 

Is the Funkingham Palace the same entrance? 

[mazola]

Think this may finally be the year I go in, really want to go to Rob da Bank's Purple Rave but fear it will be mobbed being Thursday and all.

 

[nikkic]

Four Tet at Funkingham Palace would be ace. 
 

Might be the year I finally get in here! (Or at least try). 

[Harry MonkFish]

I went one year and we got taken to a side entrance and brought into a different section. I don't remember how or why but it did involve someone giving us some dice and possibly saying we were here for the mad hatter (or something similar). 

 

I was wanting to catch beans on toast there but I've no idea how early id need to get in to make sure I'm there for the start. 

[TownesMR]

How early do you have to show up to get into Rabbit Hole on Thursday? Really want to catch Bad Boy Chiller Crew then

[squirrelarmy]

BBCC will be performing in the outside part of the Rabbit hole so no issue queuing for that. Funkingham Palace is the venue that’s inside the hole through the tunnel. 

[nikkic]

We might try and get in for Four Tet on Thursday, reckon we might have to be there an hour or two early though.

No queue at all?

It is a tent with one open side. There may not be room to fit everyone in. So technically no queue, but arriving early will increase your chance of getting stage visibility.

Is the old Rabbit Hole where the Wormhole was in 2019? I seem to remember the Rabbit Hole in 2019 was a very open bar (no queues) to the right of The Park. I just assumed the wormhole was a renamed rabbit hole or was there a tunnel in the rabbit hole too?
