My concern is I would start to get bored, start drinking heavily and then turn into one of the people they clearly don’t want there!

Yeah, wasnt going to admit to that about myself but kind of think I might be tempted as it would be the 1st holiday ive had since Aug 2019...

Prseumably you cant just visit the campsite tho unless you have a tent there..

Fair enough - I think we'll still take the spare bed in my mate's house regardless (might be a tad rude if I sacked off his hospitality to go camping down the road instead).

Aye - feels like the clientele might be an odd blend of wholesome families and folk hellbent on reliving past glories when they've taken it right off the fucking dial.

I think thats probably spot on there.

Easiest ticket day ever!

The idea is to use it as a holiday base though isnt it - not to just sit about and drink surrounded by toddlers. We holidayed in Somerset last year as well at another campsite so have a list of stuff we didnt get round to.

So are you meant to camp there and then go off to visit other locations, like the Tor etc, and just use it as a base, or are you meant to stay on site each day and just potter around the fields? Sorry if this is a daft question!

I think someone has pointed out they are doing a wristband for visitors after I posted...?

I think some people will do a bit of both, we will be out and about as I cant hang around toddlers and kids all day now mine are older and too big for the boat and kids castle thing and we have a lot around there still to visit.

I guess either given they have a number of onsite places to visit, but yeah I think its also intended that it helps boost the local economy a little too more widely.

Booked!  Now if only ticket day was as easy as that!

Ah no, did you get what you wanted? 

 

[august1]

Was expecting it to start a week earlier than it is?

[Pinhead]

Hardly any left already - July almost gone...

If you arrive on Wednesday all options are showing for every week

[SamJ]

Wow.  I was ready for full ticket panic but got through straight away.  Yesssss!

[Flysheet]

Sorted straight off, bell tent for the 6th August, see you at Goose Hall for a pint!

Good news - are these on sale does anyone know?!

(I read that as wristbands issued... for those who have paid for camping?)

That was a lot easier than my last few attempts at tickets.....

[Mimo]

Seems like there's a lot of 4/5 night available but 3 nights are selling quick

Think a lot of people have come to the same conclusion that my lot did, it might get boring after 3 days.

I'm in a similar position (albeit with only one son) and wondering the same thing. Its a big jump between the 2 person scout tent and a bell tent and there is nothing in between.

Well, I just booked a Scout Tent, was worried that there would only be two fields appear for entering names (visitor 1, visitor 2) but there was a single field where you could free type and the instruction was write name “of all who will be staying in your tent”, didn’t say anything about maximums. So I think it’ll be ok, can’t imagine that Glastonbury would get pissy about small children piling in with parents considering they allow free festival access to thousands of under 13s!

Oh yeah, I see.

[Chubby Dude in a Tiny Car]

August weekend on the farm - what could be more perfect!

all booked, and cannot wait.

see ya'll there! 😀

[giantkatestacks]

I never normally have to get tickets so for me it was really stressful! I do have a tent on the dates I wanted though @Mimo so yay.

[Ayrshire Chris]

Many dates and tent types now sold out, showing tickets not available.  I assume that the license has a maximum number of campers so they can’t just chuck up a few more tents if demand is high.   

I assume that if the 5 nights don’t sell then they will open them up to the three night stays eventually so if anyone is disappointed then there might be availability soon.
