can anyone give me any advice on getting there and stuff, like the drop off/pick up points?

and also, we cant get there til the friday morning because of exams, is this okay etc?

cheers!

No problem to arrive whenever - access is any time from 8am on Wednesday (although you'll have missed two days of partying - hope the exam results are worth it!)

Someone else will have to advise on drop off points, but it won't be close by - you're going to be doing a lot of walking, and you're missing out on the best bit of the festival by going home every night!

The drop and collect point will be signposted as you approach the Festival. From there, a free 24 hour bus service will take you to the Festival bus station next to Gate A.

If you're being dropped off, always do it at the drop and collect point, to avoid walking miles or getting run over in the dark, and so that you know where to get picked up from.

Local roads will be closed on Monday for traffic leaving the Festival, so those picking you up will only have access to the drop and collect point (and not the main Festival site).

I hope you have a wonderful festival!!

I came and went every night last year. We parked in glastonbury town centre and got the bus to the site.

Get to Glastonbury town centre and get the bus on the Friday - it goes on the hour every hour. It will cost you £3 each way.

Then you will know exactly where you can get someone to drop you off on the Saturday.

I agree with incident here - not only will you have more fun camping at glasto, i'm sure it's loads safer too! The big walls around the festival are pretty effective at keeping the 'undesirables' OUT, but many of them loiter around outside the gates and in the car parks causing trouble. You're safer in than out!
