Ayrshire Chris Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Not quite a site change but we noticed walking this week round the village and surrounding areas that many houses had ‘Git orf moi land’ signs on their garden gates. All identical as if supplied by the festival. Actually they said private, please keep out😉. Never seen that before, is this new? Locals please confirm,I should have asked in the Crown. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you drive in to the festival car parks from the east you pass many properties with these signs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still may only e an unfounded rumour I do wonder that, as they kind of set themselves apart from the festival, they're subject to the same rules and regs as the rest of the festival venues. I don't recall seeing stewards in there for example. Though it has been a few years and I'm usually a little hazy by the time I get in there.

For 2 reasons: I hate queuing at festivals and I hate seriously alcohol based venues or vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely not at the entrance - there were totally drunk random people managing the queue. There may have been someone at the exit (as it was more visible), but i can’t be sure. It was Monday morning 5AM last time i was there. They had a bar selling dodgy drinks as well which did not seem to be any brands the festival has contracts with 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No stewards just an irish bloke telling us that had gathered that there was no space left inside (but would then let a few people in anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I had a brief Twitter exchange with someone from the piano bar a few weeks back. No indication then that it wouldn't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on here, perhaps @Wooderson was saying there was loads of room there with kids playing football. Strongly considering going there over standard family camping. Further from kids field but LOADS of room. Anyone else camped there? Been there a couple times mate. Lots of room, genuinely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parsonjack Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 19 hours ago, Skip997 said: Damn Is it possible someone currently on site may have reported the Piano Bar as totally derelict and assumed it wasn't therefore expected for 2024? Certainly when I was there recently it was pretty much in a destroyed state, but from experience we know that it gets resurrected during the build.

Dave_c Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 If you’re heading to the BBC Introducing stage then look out for Bar on the Green’s new location right next door. This well loved bar offers plenty of indoor seating, cocktails, premium beers – including non alcoholic & disco tunes well into the night. From the Glasto website in the 'bars' section - maybe freeing up space on Williams green for something else. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
