Late night fun

[Guest]

This year will be my fifth Glastonbury but I've never successfully found somewhere I can go and have a drink after main stages finish apart from Lost Vagueness/Shangri-La which are always a chore - they're a long way and far too crowded to be able to enjoy yourself fully (without the help of substances which aren't my cup of tea).

Also Queen's Head gets too rammed but I might try that this year.

Other areas? I realise you might not want to reveal your secret haunts but any suggestions would be gratefully received.

A lot of my friends seem to favour the wine bar experience...

[Mr Ploppy]

Alot of places are chokka late on Tom but you will find somewhere - I always do.

But be sure to take a tipple of your own in a little plastic bottle just in case the only thing for sale is Earl Grey Tea.

Wine bar? I'm not sure I'm even aware of the wine bar? Oh, is it at/near trash city? We tried the gin palace last year but it was either closed or too full to get in, can't remember which.

[BlackHole2006]

Anyone tried the greenfeilds at night? What's it like, or does it shut at a certain time?

must admit i had a nightmare getting a drink on sunday but tobe honest was enjoying myself too much - that said the bimble inn serves late and never got as ridicul;osaly packed as shangra la

best advice is save some cans for laste night wanders

Always fun having a dance outside a Wine Bar for a bit. After that I usually just wander around with a bottle of my own alcohol and see where I end up.

Never found the late night party areas to be that busy tbh. Yes the forced trek, sheep like to the far entrance in the east for Shangri La is a mish but once you are in, you wonder where the hell did everyone go!

Lots of places in the Dance Village are open til the very wee hours even on Sunday into Monday.

Stagger, stumble and bimble...never mish...and you will find what you are looking for...or should I rephrase that it will find you!

I just normally wander around and see where I end up, like you said its hard to find drink though.

Best thing to do is take a hip flask with your choice of spirits, I'm a JD myself and buy soft drinks on the way. Theres always ice cream vans selling bottles of coke for a couple of quid - and allcazam - JD and coke to keep you going all night

[Glazieyes]

Yeah, you're probably right.

Never tried Greenfields - can't get a drink there anyway I don't think. Plenty of other things I reckon though, if you're that way inclined.

Me and the other half went for a wander around the Greenfields last year after the stages have closed. We Had a great time! Really dark but lots of interesting things going on. Just take some cans of beers with you.

There's somewhere that we ended up late one night back in 2003 I think and as far as I remember it was still there in 04 and 05 but havent been since 05 so not sure if was still around - couldnt remember where it was - think it was called something mambo? does anyone remember? think there was a bar and a DJ and dancing and sitting about chilling - seem to vaguely remember an old-ish man DJing and someone or him playing the trumpet alongside. remember a Beloved song was on. twas a very good night but I think one of those that could never be recreated just the same.

Was that the place off the old railway track up toward Shangri-la? If it's the same place I'm thinking of, there was just a small gap along the path, then down some steps and the place opened out. There was a bar, dj, dancing. All completely enclosed by surrounding trees. That was an awesome find. We thinking of the same place?

I can't remember where on earth it was - as far as I remember though it was in a tent not out in the open but it could well have changed since then! Ill keep a look out for it this year as I'm sure it had a name - something beginning with M.

[The Dawg]

That sounds like the Glade?

[Abbathehorse]

No The Glade is miles from this place.

Anyhow I have totally forgotten what it's called but as you pass Trash City on your Left and walk towards Shangri-la look down through the trees on your left hand side and eventualy you will see it. There are steep step down to it.

A top drinking hole if ever there was one. The bar is about 6 foot tall but the place has a great vibe with a large outdoor fire and decent tunes on.

Oh and don't tell anyone about it.
