I can confirm that the long drops around block 9 do still clang

This is exactly the sort of info I come here for.  None of these new fangled soft close long drops for me thank you very much

I've absolutely no professional experience in this sort of thing but maybe they're starting ahead of schedule in anticipation of staff covid illness over the next few weeks? 

To me it seems they maybe start with that as it’s symbolic, serious stages fit everything out on the Pyramid, but they also supply the other stage and build that from scratch and that doesn’t start going up until much much later.

Not in the slightest.

I think it's because it's something that's done by the regular worthy farm crew, so they don't need to rush it into the "main" build schedule (which properly kicks in in a couple weeks). So they'll schedule it at a time that makes sense for the farm calendar. Same applies to setting up the long drops and a couple other things.

Serious do the "stage" part - ie the innards, but unless some of the stuff already delivered is theirs, they don't do anything that we've seen to date.

In terms of when the actual fit out comes, it helps that Serious are based literally just down the road from Worthy Farm - they're one of several companies that exist because they started at Glastonbury Festival in this case when a neighbouring farmer was roped in to build a stage. So they can work to a relatively flexible schedule. The proximity also created a weird situation a few years back where they randomly build a bridge on the farm, and nobody on here could figure out why. They then dismantled it a few weeks before the festival started - turned out they were testing it out ahead of either Leeds or Reading.

I know we’ve had an enforced break so it makes sense to test the Pyramid cover early, but it keeps getting dressed earlier anyway.

They might be just as excited as we are and want to crack on to get it looking good.

Do you think there are still people inside them?

[DareToDibble]

Speaking of those huts. As I was walking by them on Monday there was a guy unlocking one of them to show people (who I assume he knew) inside. Was half tempted to ask to have a look but figured that might be crossing the line into "fully weird".

Excellent news, I deliberately used them at worthy pastures last summer rather than the more luxurious composters just to hear the clanging and sniff the disinfectant. Memories are made of this,
