Beer run

[Crazyfool01]

I’ve just been asked on Twitter the best way of doing a beer run Thursday Am for a coach goer I know there’s local busses , can anyone advise further ? 

[Crazyfool01]

Or anyone done it in a taxi ?

Is there a bus to Shepton Mallet? If so, there is a Tesco there. Otherwise it would be bus to Glasto Town and then a walk to one of the supermarkets

What about an online supermarket delivery to the main red gate? then collect it there

There is.

 

The quickest/cheapest bus to a local town is the hourly shuttle to Shepton Mallet, and it stops right outside Tesco (which I've never been in, but I've heard stocks up especially for the Festival).

They wouldn't be allowed to park there.

 

@Crazyfool01 But an online delivery to Bath and West might work? 🤔

I’ve told them I don’t think a taxi is easy to do even early in the morning on the Thursday ? Think I’ve seen that mentioned before ? Thanks all for replies

I work alongside some of the site crew who do that every year, they go out to meet them and the driver just drops and goes.

It's not viable advice for general public, though.

 

Aside from the fact that enforcement increases tenfold on show days, the public are heavily discouraged from getting anywhere near the area.

Ah yes maybe not for joe public, they can as suggested just get the shuttle to Shepton.

Shuttle is good, would you have to queue to get back in? I’m trying to remember how it works

There is a separate re-entry lane so they won't have to queue with new arrivals. 😊
