Things missing this year…

[TheGChild]

The cheer. Despite talk of this in the lead up, still didnt hear it on the Wednesday. Maybe I should have instigated.

Silent disco in Silver Hayes. Ruined my normal Thursday eve plans 😞

THIS. So disappointed. I swear it’s why my step count is down from usual - no silent disco dancing until 5am

Beat Hotel - San Remo was interesting concept but unsure it fully worked 

Agreed, San Remo just looked like a garage forecourt.

I missed The Blues and felt far too much of Silver Hayes' character has been stripped away this year.

Snap

The view from Worthy View was missing! Now completely blocked by trees!

[CaledonianGonzo]

Bad vibes

[kevbizarre]

Crisps. Assume banned because no recycling option.

Didn’t find the slope in WV that bad with decent walking boots but agree in the rain it would have become dangerous. WV as a whole felt much more crowded as they have pushed the tents closer to the eating areas. Not great for those placed in those ones.

Urinals seemed smaller to me around the whole site. Not sure why

Agree on the wood - I’m sure last time there was sections with large fires where you could sit around too near the bar. Didn’t find the new teapot place though so maybe the funds went into that instead?

Avalon Cafe

The Arcadia sound system 🔇

Was definitely there, although it didn't have anything I fancied when I visited. Seemed to have run out of all decent cakes 😞

On the walk from the theatre field to Gate C on the right hand side

Probably has something to do with a lot of self-employed food traders having to make serious decisions about their future during the 2020 season which didn't exist and the 2021 season which was much shorter than normal. It's seasonal work anyway so a lot of them would have struggled to get anything substantial through furlough schemes etc. 

Absolutely, it totally understandable after the last two years, just hope that variety will return as time goes on.

I didn't see any milk trucks passing through the campsites this year. In past years they'd come through Wicket Ground at least once a day.

They announced before the festival that it wouldn't be happening this year.

I missed that. Bit of a shame 😞

Meant we had to go on a milk mission each evening for the kids breakfasts. Also, the milk trucks used to sell strawberry milk, which is one of my favourite things in life and I couldn't find it anywhere else.

Not been since 2016, the glade seemed more narrow than I remember,  I notice the giant water containers with lights in. That looked like a stone circle was missing

That's so disappointing! One of the things that adds to Glastonbury being so different to any other festival

[CaledonianGonzo]

Due to safety issues apparently. Though a bit surprising from a festival that doesn't care about crowd safety.

[Cleoclaptrap]

Such a shame about the candle steam boats and Manic Organic they have both been there forever.

[Isaact]

The lack of any kind of decent craft beer was massively noticeable.

For a festival that doesn't do major sponsorship, they have an opportunity to really champion the varied and flourishing craft beer scene in the UK.

Instead every bar was an InBev or Heineken love in.

Really shit to be honest, and totally against the spirit of the festival.

Really? Were there issues in the past?

I don't think there were any. Maybe being a wee bit over-cautious.

Surely can't be any less safe than driving bin lorries through the markets. Made me shudder every time I saw one thinking of the potential outcomes involving a kid or a super mashed person.

Pangea, the spider just seems really underwhelming now and the view from Lime Kiln was missing it.

also there seemed to be a lot less taps this year
