is the Hare Krishna tent still there?

 

I never found it last year (although admittedly I didnt exactly look very hard..)

 

It seems to get moved around quite a lot now. Last time I saw it it was near the property lock up on Pennards Hill, and when I saw it before that it was round behind Silver Hayes in the bit called The Reach on this year's map.

What's the new equivalent to Rabbit Hole's Funkingham Palace?

 

If there is one.  Maybe behind the Wishing Well?

Scissors

That just seems like a normal additional venue, rather than a "secret" behind the scenes area like the Rabbit Hole had.

There isn't really.

Scissors is going in what was rabbit holes funkingham palace and taking the space where the secret rooms were. 

 

Rumour is the wishing well might have some bits to be explored but not the same scale.

Oh yeah, looking at the map I can see it's in the location.

 

But no "secret" area with a published lineup that we're aware of (yet)?

 

I don't recall knowing about the secret rabbit hole bit until it probably had been there a couple of years!

Think that's part of the reset as well, trying to hide stuff again.

Yeah, probably a good thing, but can't help being curious!

 

Especially as I'll have a toddler with me so unlikely to see this kind of thing.

Never like seeing the exclusivity of the Rabbit Hole. Seeing those poor souls in a queue that doesn't move for hours on end, whilst 20 metres to your right people would flash shiny wristbands and swan right in. Not the Glasto ethos for me! 

 

Really hope the Wishing Well and Scissors doesn't have that "secret" element to it, which just makes it feeling off limits, and everyone can come and go as they please.

Especially that even once you were in the rabbit hole there was an _even more_ exclusive bit that needed a special wristband. w*nkery really..

I messaged someone who is playing Wishing Well who I met in the Rabbit Hole vip bit last year. He seems to think that Funkingham and vip area bit are no more.

Given their recent rebranding do we think the B Bar will be looking a little different this year…..?

Tbf the spider didn’t look that impressive 8 days before the site opened on any year that I’ve seen it.

Are you sure? I didn’t think you could get round the back of the tipi village and across? If you can then I’ve been wasting my time for several years, so thanks!

Yep, every morning I come down from worthy view I walk across the hill just above the tipi village and in to the Park.

from hazy memories i think that route is closed off on Wednesday due to the fireworks, but open the rest of the fest. Have been caught out on a Wednesday.
