piggywig123 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 I'll be driving to the festival for the first time this year. Aiming for Wednesday afternoon arrival and coming from London. How does the parking work? Is it completely random or can I choose West with the hope of getting orange? I'd like to camp in Paines Ground/South Park.

ripcurl85 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 So long as you are on the West of the site they will direct you into the car parks on that side of the site. As to which car park, it will depend on which they are filling at the time and you won’t get a choice of pink or orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Yeah I normally camp at the south park field and the motorway then up through glastonbury Town works a treat. It's a longer route so won't be what the sat nav suggests but will take you to that orange zone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 If you come from the correct side you can 'hope to achieve orange'. It's pot luck when you arrive though whether you'll get shoved in the nether regions of pink or yellow or be luck enough to be directed in to orange. Think I've only had orange parking once in the last 5 times or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piggywig123 Posted June 18, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Great! I'll aim for the west route then. If I get put in pink or yellow is that still closer to South Park than any of the east car parks?

Stokesy10 Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 If you're directed to Pink, can you still enter through PgD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubenz Posted June 18, 2022 Report Share Posted June 18, 2022 Yeah pink is just the other side of the road so a bit of a longer walk but you can still get in Gate D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I've turned up without a parking sticker before and they just took my money on the gate, not sure if it'll be the same this year but can't imagine they'll turn you away if you show them your festival ticket.
