Best gate for Big Ground Wednesday arriving on foot?

[tktkwk]

Hiya,

I’m local to the festival coming from West Pennard and have previously camped on big ground which was ideal. I’m bringing my partner for the first time and can’t remember which gate we went to last time I went with friends. Whichever gate it was it was a nightmare as there was nobody stewarding the queue which ended up with hundreds of people in an open field and so many queue jumpers we barely made it in with space left.

 

I’m looking at either Gate B or C. We would be getting dropped off Wednesday morning about 5/5:30am. As we’re getting dropped off we don’t have a car to park etc. Which gate would be best to try and get a spot at Big Ground? We have a 4 person tent. Seeing mixed opinions on both gates in terms of queue control and crowds from my research so really confused on which would be better or whether it’s down to luck?

thank you!

Drop off is at Bath&West.  You then get the shuttle to PGA.  You can find details about B&W and shuttle, etc, on Glasto website.

Stewards actively discourage people from being dropped off at the car park entry (witnessed it myself) and all laybys, pull-ins and side road entrys nearer the fest are stewarded too to prevent this.
