cidermonkey Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 Does anyone have experience of what the queues are like at the lockups late on Sunday evening? We need to leave the festival after the last main bands on Sunday night to get to the airport for a Monday 7am flight. We have booked and early Monday morning coach from the festival but was wondering if we packed our stuff up early Sunday and left it at the Gate A lockups, what is the Lockup Queue like Sunday around midnight? Would it be minutes or hours in the queue at this time. Thanks Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to be safe, you could leave your headliner 10 minutes before the end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
incident Posted April 25 Report Share Posted April 25 The Gate A lockup queue can easily go past an hour around that time. I've been caught in it before and would suggest avoiding it. The ones further from the gate shouldn't be as bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanWeRest Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 What do people keep in the lock ups? I never really have anything valuable with me that I don't keep on my person (I understand passports). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshuwarr Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 We put all our bags, tents etc in the lock up as we had a 4am return coach on Monday morning. I'd say the queue Sunday afternoon was a lot slower than picking everything up around 2am on Monday morning. We used the lock up sandwiched between Oxlyers and Silver Hayes.

Are there any official limits to the size of things you can store, then? Trailers are quite bulky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailers are quite bulky. Bikes and trailers they’ve taken for many years at different ones … also seen people putting sat trucks in them . They just get passed under the tables at the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minimal wait and always a good chat when handing stuff in and collecting. Free but donation to the charity that’s running the individual one welcomed .
