Teacher attending future festivals

[Jack.194]

Hey,

I’m currently a trainee teacher and am attending the festival this year in my long post-uni summer (I also attended last year) but as of September I’ll be in a full-time job teaching (for which I highly doubt I’ll be able to book holiday around Glastonbury time, which takes place during term-time) and I just have a few questions so that I can hopefully accommodate the festival;

- Are there any teachers who manage to attend the festival? If so, how?

- Leaving at around 4 on a Friday, I live around a 3 hour drive from Glastonbury, how busy are the queues likely to be at 7pm on a Friday?

- How late will I likely be able to leave the festival if I leave on the Sunday night after headliners finish?

Any advice is very welcomed! I know I’d miss a big chunk of the festival (and I know the Wednesday/Thursday is as good if not better than the Friday/Saturday/Sunday but I do feel like attending just for two nights is better than missing it entirely!

I just want to know whether I’m being too optimistic or whether it’s possible I’ll be able to attend! I desperately don’t want this year to be my last!

Thanks

At 7 on a Friday you will walk straight in with no queues.

Leaving after the headliners on the Sunday won’t be too bad but I hear there could be an hour to get off site depending on where you are parked. East side is supposed to be better.
