Wow, Downlow open on Wednesday! I wouldn't have thought it. I've often looked at the queue, but wondered if it was worth the wait. That said, last year missing Honey DJ with Rosin Murphy hurt.

Yep, it's open Wednesday. There was a hell of a queue still but we had the drinks on and made friends with the people around us and it was totally worth it. Not many of the bigger venues open on the wednesday but it was a good night to visit NYCD while it was 'slightly'less busy. Gotta be done 😊

Lol. Bad impressions are way more interesting!

We done strummerville on the wed before the foreworks was chill with a dj on

There is Music on but not so much. More of a Taster of what is about to unfold.

Last year we did the whole 'gotta take new people up the hill to show them the full view of the site' thing and it was packed to beyond being that fun, and a pain to get in/out/to toilets. The view of the fireworks also isn't great, as they've being fired off from so close to the hill.

What other spots are good to watch the fireworks, I was thinking maybe across the valley in the wood(sies) area?

We walked past a lot of people getting ready to watch them from the Arcadia field last year (Whilst we were en route to the Stone Circle!)

The vibes in West Holts Bar were amazing on the Wednesday night last year.

2019 we spent a great couple of hours in this bar on the Weds eve. Then headed over to Rocket Lounge who had a band playing.

We ended that Weds night in some random tent in Green fields (I think) where a woman was playing piano and the tent was packed with everyone singing along, literally hanging from the rafters so to speak… one of those places I’m not sure I could ever find again!

Thanks, it's a nice spot to unwind with the fire and sofas. I stopped off several times when we were up at Worthy view.

The West Holts crew bar had a quiz on Weds evening last year [we won], if you've got a pass that'll get you in and you like a quiz then get yourself along.

We went to the Rum Shack and NYC Downlow on the Wednesday night last year. Wicked night! 

I remember going to NYC Downlow on the Wednesday in 2017 but remember it being a lot quieter due to the noise restrictions and there not being any of the usual entertainment onstage. Was it like that last year?

I was at that! Was quietly enjoying a relaxing pint, when a quiz started. Four friendly young guys at my table were more than happy to let me join their team, hoping that my age and experience would prove beneficial. They were sadly disappointed. Good fun though.

It’s just a soft launch really to test everything out

Question; when are the fireworks? Is it a midnight thing?

I don't think I've ever consciously watched them.

And they're set off from the Pyramid? Or the hill? 

[-TLR-]

not particularly exciting, but there you go.

On the hill. I think there were 3 sets all set off at the same time last year

Arcadia field is the best place to watch in my opinion… you can see all 3 sets from there.

I've only been to  Glastonbury 4 times and have only ever watched them from the tipi field sat around a big burning log but that looks brilliant👍

It's quite difficult for me to get the best view.

I'm always on shift and have two choices, either stay in Dragon Field with a restricted view or steward in the chaos on the hill.

The former wins every time.
