HELP: can I get out of the festival on Satruday?

[CharlieNabbs]

Hi All,

First ever glasto - CANNOT WAIT!

Have had an absolute mare though - it's a family friends wedding on Sat 27th and I cannot miss it - I will be hung drawn and quartered by my family.

There is a train from castle carey to my home town, leaving at 9.40am on sat 27th. I'm staying in east campervan site. I know theres a shuttle bus to the station from the festival - but when does it start in the morning? can i get to castle carey for 9.40am? where does the shuttle go from? how long does it take?

Or any other bright ideas about how to get to the station??

Thanks soooooooo much

Shuttles run to meet trains, and leave from the festival bus station which is at Gate A - there's information here:

It doesn't, at first glance, look like you're going to make your train by shuttle, so you may need to get a taxi instead.

Yikes! Is there a taxi rank? xxx

Yes , very close to gate A

Yes , very close to gate A

I think the longest part of this journey is likely to be getting from Campervan East to Gate A! Allow plenty of time to get in through Gate C from the campervan field, and across the site to Gate A.

Dont go to the wedding, turn your phone off, and deal with the shitstorm when you get back from an awesome festival

They chose the wrong weekend. Find a stunt double.

Are they a good friend of yours too?

And how long a train journey?

Ten or twenty miles is one thing, but it is a big sacrifice on your part unless you love them very much

You might want to consider claiming that you were abducted by aliens on the Friday night and probed until you could take no more and eventually released back in to the festival on the Sunday morning. Just in time to hear the Bishop of Bath and Wells talk some shite in to your ear. It's unlikely the couple will believe you and will, in the future, steer well clear of you - but it's a small price to pay when viewed on a macro scale.

Once you are there you may just change your mind on leaving the festival for the day. I would start laying the ground work for that happening.
