Just chill and explore your new home I was looking for specific recommendations, to be honest. I've been to Glasto before, but I'd like to do something other than the traditional fireworks.

Joshuwarr Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 I think its probably the only celebration like that as the alternatives will mostly be music orientated. I usually opt for the opening ceremony as its a good place to gather pals and others there who we want to meet up with but there's also usually lots of good DJs on. I'd also argue it might be a good chance to go explore the south east corner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanWeRest Posted April 27 Author Report Share Posted April 27 Through a bit of my own research I found this. It's not at the same time as the fireworks display, but this is more the sort of thing I'm looking for. Opening Ceremony ~ Wednesday around 4pmBe a part of creating the beauty and the magic of the Healing Field. Our Opening Ceremony celebrates the essence of each of the Elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air; initiating our transformation of the self and of the community. Come and awaken the Elements with us, setting your intentions for the days ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotChipWillBreakYourLegs Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Obviously it's the same as the opening ceremony, but viewing it from the Pyramid field means there's no crowds, loads of space and you can see all three displays across the hillside opposite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always sit in the Arcadia field, plenty of space and a good vantage point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried suggesting that to my crowd last year and got told no very sternly and that they were sticking to the Stone Circle! 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not showy, but a great feeling of togetherness with other attendees. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the time and place detailed anywhere - in the program for instance? Its not something I've been too before so would like to try something different as well - thanks.

CanWeRest Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 They burn a big wicker thingy too. But yeah, it's up on the big hill towards the stone circle and Glasto sign. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
