Shambala arrival time etc question

[monominxer]

Hiya

just wondered what kinda time people arrive etc thursday? Does there tend to be a queue? We're coming from afar with kids so just trying to sort some logistics and make it as smooth as possible LOL

thanks and see you in the fields

err I'm not aware of any peak times to avoid at shambala - never seen any queueing to speak of going in (other peoples mileage may vary). I usually arrive late afternoon and there's plenty of people there by then but plenty of space still.

Gates open at 2pm. Apart from last year when there was a problem with the weather and they had to delay opening up, there generally isn't much of a queue. We like to arrive as near to gates opening as poss, only because we like to get set up and settle it and relax while everyone else is setting up. The earlier you arrive the nearer you can set up to the car park (although it's not very far even to the farest camping). They have a new family camping area very close to the car park this year so arriving handy will bag you a good stop, but if you have to arrive later you'll still find somewhere. There isn't a mad crush of tents like Glasto.

See you in a field in a few days
