Entry to campercan field

[festivalchick77]

It says on the glasto website:

"As with the car parks, we're planning to open the campervan/caravan fields slightly earlier this year, with access expected to be available from the Tuesday evening. However, the Festival site itself will still not open until 8am on Wednesday morning."

We are leaving from Scotland about 6ish and expect to get to glasto early hours of wednesday morning. Am I right in saying that we will have access to the campervan field just not the arena?

Just not sure if we should leave later or earlier!

Thanks

Yes.

It looks like they have not made up thier minds yet on what actual time the campervan fields will be open but I expect and assume that they will be open from 9pm on Tuesday, maybe even earlier.

If you are arriving early hours Wednesday you should be allowed access to the campervan fields only. The site itself will be open from 8am Wednesday and it won't close till Monday night. There is no "arena" like at other festivals.

If I were you, to avoid traffic I would do as you have already planned, arrive early hours Wednesday, set-up camp and then have a well deserved kip.

I know that in the licence application for this year they applied to open car parks from 9pm and the campervan fields from midday on the Tuesday. It's now up to the organisers to decided when to open the campervan fields and from the website it sounds like it might be evening time but I'm hoping it will be early/mid afternoon so I can avoid setting up when it's going dark.
