Also, you don't want to be hanging around camp waiting for your phone to charge - take a battery pack, and you can charge when you sleep! You can always charge your battery pack up (though it is slow) - but make sure to put your name on your battery and your charging plug thingy, less likely it will be picked up by accident by someone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that if any become available Oxfam will wait until they have a few and then release them in a controlled manner rather than releasing the odd one here and there and then having to Keep processing individual the places and creating more work for themselves. As it would be easier to process bulk applications. That's just my thinking.. maybe completely wrong 🤷🏼♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March Hare Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 It’s the grey zone between the free cancellation window and people’s life events happing close enough to the festival to warrant them cancelling. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicked on it just to see and you had to be on site today so assuming thats why it has now gone. I knew this was going to be the long game but thought there might have been a very slow drip of Glastonbury spaces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do still seem to be releasing slots on the 00 and 30 min mark but just not Glasto at the moment, so at least our strategy seems to be sound. Goes to show there are a lot of movements happening, so it's still possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Lenny Kravitz once said: … Here we are still togetherWe are oneSo much time wastedPlaying games with Oxfam places … So many tears I've criedSo much pain insideBut baby, it ain't over 'til it's overSo many weeks we've triedTo keep our dream aliveBut baby, it ain't over 'til it's over Something like that anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Oxfield is much more secure than general camping you should still exercise some caution with your belongings. Come Wednesday get anything valuable in a lockup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
