It is insane to think that you can pay that for a hotel / B&B and others pay more for a tent in a field!!! Yes, but that field is a worthy farm field 😊. Anyway after three hours of intense discussion and soul searching we’ve decided to confirm the booking so no worthy view for us next year. I will miss the worthy view duck egg omelettes , that touch of culinary sophistication . Edited November 25, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did ever buy tea or a bite to eat, but often carried on walking to the site for other choices - you also pass the co op on one of the common routes. Yeah I'd have said about 5 or 6 food stalls. The bakery was very good and gave very generous discounts to crew which may or may not have made it taste even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutchmaster Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Really hoping they up the game for Sticklinch a bit this year. A couple of more food/drink options (especially coffee) and more seating outside the vendors would really make it much better this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted November 25, 2022 Report Share Posted November 25, 2022 Aye think those prices confirm it’s not for me. It’s only shower I really care about - are the only options WV, Stinklinch, Lost Horrizons, Green Peace and Kidsfield? There’s no like 100 quid post toilets shower option I can stump up for?

Their 250 quid pamper option makes the 400 quid for showers, flushing loos plus a 2 person tent seem better value 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we've paid an extra £30 but there's no gamble of getting a spot, it's secured and I don't have to think about it, and no hill of death. LOL Have you stayed here before? Whereabouts is it located in relation to the festival? It seems a no brainer compared to CV East for only £30 more if it’s a bit closer, and it’s got showers? I guess there is also no need to access on the Tuesday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually booked it based on a thread on here. There's a map and stuff. Basically it's by.. the orange car park. I think a few quid for a shower and flushing loos. The general concensus seems to be 10/15 walk on a dry day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al2006 Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Are you able to add on a double airbed to any of these? And if so does anyone know how much? think I’ll end up in tangerine fields again as it’s cheaper.. £330+£30 with blow up bed vs 400 here without Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed in a bunkpad and they were comfy enough. I coached and am lazy so desperately wanted to avoid surplus weight. https://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/information/accommodation/pre-erected-camping/sticklinch/sticklinch-accommodation-options/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don’t fancy lumping my camping equipment on the coach 😬 After 3 years miserable waiting some magical people in the resale group helped me secure a ticket. I managed to get sticklinch in the accommodation resale with comparative ease. Full disclosure - I initially plumped for what I could get (some like scout were more available than others). I then tediously monitored the page until my preferred one came up (as it was rarer they came back on sale) and booked that as well. They were kind enough to update my booking minus a nominal sum of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogster Posted November 26, 2022 Report Share Posted November 26, 2022 Yes I think 2p scout tents are not hard to get. But the time of the sale makes things trickier... Personally I can't refresh for half an hour at that time . It's probably on purpose so that the weight on servers is lighter and it is for a lot lunchtime but I'd have preferred a bit of peace of mind with a time for coach travelers.

The 850 price is for 7 nights , two people, with free parking and full breakfast. A two person scout is 400 plus parking plus cost of breakfast and for only five nights. We would then have had added a few nights in the town as well. Seems transport to festival isn’t too much of a problem, shuttle bus from town or even a shared cab with other B and B residents. But I’ll still miss the festival camping😞 Edited November 26, 2022 by Ayrshire Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
