Anybody ever parked nearby to the festival?

[andy_06]

My group has a bit of a dilemma. We have 6 staying in the campervan field (4 travelling in a bongo & 2 travelling in a seperate car) we have only just realised that the car park doesn't open until 9 meaning the 2 in the car would have a long wait if the others go in at 12.

I have also phoned the Glastonbury office & been told that the official rule is that you aren't allowed to enter the CV field from the car park until the Weds morning. So my question is has anybody ever parked in a nearby village & got a taxi to the festival or does anybody know of a good place to park a couple of miles out? My friend has 6 seats in his bongo but 2 have no seatbelt so we could just jump in when they are queuing up!

Thanks

Afaik local residents have special permits and any cars parked in the area that don't have these permits will likely be towed.

The main carparks open on Tuesday night (think its 9pm but can't remeber), so the people in the car could do other suff during the day Glasto town, tor, cider orchid etc. And then drive in and park up when the cps open

When we camped at Old Oaks in 09, we past a fair few cars and vans parked up on the little roads up by the Tor overnight.
