The Co-op doesn't use plastic for their pre-packed sandwiches in their shops so I expect that will be maintained for the festival.  

The 'windows' in the cardboard packaging for triangle sandwiches and wraps are plastic, no? Which makes the packaging hard to recycle unless you separate the window from the cardboard.

Film window will be PLA or another plant based compostable film and therefore there is no need to remove it before recycling the cardboard.

Now it is clear there is no alcohol, can someone tweet them to inquire about scratch cards, parcel drop and if they will have a clothes bank outside for gold hot pants?

Hmm seems an odd spot on Park Home Ground. Very close to the lockups end medical centre then?

I usually camp in Paines so it will be easy enough for me to grab some mix!

It's right be a hard standing access road, which it needs to be to restock & comply with the site wide vehicle bands

The bags of ice are the main attraction IMHO.

First timer here, travelling down on the national express....

As the co-op won't be selling Alcohol. Will it be relatively straightforward to make a booze run on the shuttle into a nearby town? Thinking of getting it out of the way late Wednesday, early Thursday. Or will i be at the mercy of the traffic gods?

Sorry if this has already been covered

You can do it but it involves leaving the festival (which you really won't want to do, believe me) and takes a good couple of hours. Buses only run hourly so you have a fair wait to come back, plus trekking to and from the bus stop etc. Most people bring as much as they possibly can and forget about the outside world once through the gates.

Thanks!

Looks like i might be well served to bring a second booze bag and deal with the punishing walk to the campsite. Well worth it in the long run.

At least there will be mixer available on site.

Second trip back to your car to grab more booze after you've put your tent up isn't too bad at all. It's become a bit of a ritual for me now. You don't have to queue up when you re-enter either as you'll already have your wristband.

Usually i would do that but unfortunately i'm getting the national express down.

If you’re arriving by bus think about checking in your heavy booze bag into the lockup’s by gate A. Then you can go back and collect it after pitching your tent   Takes the hard work of traipsing around looking for a spot while being loaded up like a pack horse away.

Ahhh sorry I misread. Oh well, less clothes and more spirits in your bag

This is a fantastic suggestion. Thanks a lot!

Underrated post, Stu. Upvoted.

I've posted a screenshot of it on our Glasto WhatsApp Group.

Top tip!

Somebody ask them if they'll be selling those little boxes of Schweppes mixer tins (tonics/lemonades/ginger beers). I'd ask myself but I always get ignored when I ask questions on Twitter, no idea why because I'm always very nice.
