KayMarie Posted October 18, 2023 Report Share Posted October 18, 2023 Hi, Some friends and I are thinking about hiring a house for Glastonbury 2024 but we're not sure how easy getting taxis to and from the site every day of the festival. Any advice would be appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't do it we did it in 2022 and its was a nightmare, had to wait between one to two hours to get a taxi into the site, than there was always a horrendous queue at the taxi rank at the end of the night. Plus the taxis can only drop you off and pick you up from the official taxi rank which is a good 30-40 minute walk to gate A through the car parks, than another 20/30 minutes to the Pyramid stage further if you are in the South East corner or Park Stage.

Alison C Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Honestly I wouldn't bother spoiled our whole Glastonbury, the vide was killed with the stress of getting back and to, I'll never do it again. We did Love fields pitch your own this year and it was amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be quite as nice but it will do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also cost us around £50 a day ,so £250 for the week not cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted October 23, 2023 Report Share Posted October 23, 2023 I didn't expect it to be cheap it's a long distance I once got a quote for a trip to hampshire. Quoted £500. regularly spend £25 on taxis within Bristol. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted October 30, 2023 Report Share Posted October 30, 2023 You'd be much better off getting a taxi to/from the Bath & West Showground (the drop off point), and getting a shuttle to and from the festival there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also options to rent a motorhome or caravan (whether to bring to site or already delivered, depending on budget), or that place that a couple of the regs seem pretty keen on, is it tangerine fields?
