Avalon_Fields Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 It does sound good! I presume it’s in the woods themselves where they had the theatre stuff before? Seeing as it was only last year they added the small stage and bar close to the Woodsies Stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4AssedMonkey Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 Moving the main tent made sense, but it didn’t have the feel of an “area” to me. It’s too far removed, with little going on. We walked round it in about 30 mins. Saw 1 act in the main tent and never came back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justcalledtosay Posted April 28 Report Share Posted April 28 The area has a lot of potential particularly integreating with the actual woods area but it's un-realised at the minute. The food options up there last few years have been really poor too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give it a miss then, if they were playing Fragile, Close To The Edge or Relayer i'd be all over it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipsteak Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Guess it's a bit chicken and egg. Good vendors aren't going to want to go there if footfall is low. I know it's not the same exactly, but what was the Park like when it first started? (started during a few years I wasn't going so was well established by the time I came back) Did it feel like a properly distinct area? A destination if you will? Were there good food options right away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glimmers_of_hope Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 I would love it if they did more to the area. It can be good to hang out in the woods if it is really hot and sunny but last few times it has been to busy to find a seat in the middle of the day as lot's of people have the same idea.

Were there good food options right away? The Park was already established when I went to my first in 2009, but there were loads of vendors in situ that year on the trackway near the entrance and on both sides of the Park. That said, there were enough people camping in Park Home/Pennards etc. that they'd get footfall anyway, so less of a gamble. With Woodsies, the only draw to be there is the main stage so it's not quite the same. I guess campers from Wicket/Lime Kiln would pop there for food, but that's a lot less populous.

Franky Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 Look like they are maybe trying to split the late night crowds between SE and NW corners. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantkatestacks Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 They cant have late night noise at Woodsies as it is to close to Pilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justcalledtosay Posted April 29 Report Share Posted April 29 It's also pertinent to mention that vendors are placed where Glastonbury wants them. They have no say in the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
