Entering car parks on Tuesday evening

[lewree]

Despite it always saying on the Glasto website that "car parks won't be opened until 9pm" on the Tuesday, we've always been let in hours before that... until last year!

 

I think they ended up opening before 9pm anyway, but it was a lot later than past years.

 

Has anyone got any insight regarding this year? Are they being strict on the 9pm again or going back to pre-2024?

In 2022 it was brought forward to 5pm to help cope with the train strikes, it went back to 9pm the following year. Maybe they will open an hour or so earlier but I wouldn't risk much earlier than that as you will jut get sent around the one way system.

Yeah we've been going for years and always get in about 6pm, even though 9pm has always been stated on the website (other than the year you mention).

 

Was just interested if anyone knew what's happening this year.

@lewree What car park do you end up in at that time? I camp next to friends in the campervan east field, and aim to arrive around 9pm. But always seem to end up parked miles away from the campervan fields...
