There was more to the Rabbit Hole than I realised when @ian the worm explained. The frontage bar area was the smallest of the 'rooms/areas' in there.

The back is called Funkington Palace.

He mentioned somewhere else in there too though, we need the man himself to comment. 😂

It’s actually quite impossible to count everybody properly when the lobster quadrilles get tangled up with a caucus race or two. I’ll take care to try counting again.

The Temple capacity (new version) is 5K. 

My citation includes some pretty juicy details on the system, as a bonus for you! 😀

I think I made it here in 2019, if it was the place where you crawled through the tunnels, past the office and Alice in Wonderland people giving out sugar cubes and end in the room with the throne and cocktails.

I reckon a good 2-3 hundred perhaps, but my memory is hazy.

There's also Samula (waterfalls) to add to the list which was probably around 500+

I assume as well for places like rabbit hole and Samula you're only counting generally accessible areas as both had VIP/hospitality areas.

Sorry, I've lost track a bit. Can someone give me a recap of the edits I need to do? Been doing actual non-glastonbury work the last few days.

Thought I'd bring this thread back to life.  It's basically the same as the 2017 thread, with IICON added and Wally's bar + London Underground removed.  Let me know of any capacities we know of and any venues that have been removed/added.

Here's the 2017 thread 

 

I've not been since 2017? What happened to London unground? Is it iicon?

Iicon is in a slightly different location next to block 9 but yes, when it arrived London Underground went

Well, as positioned in the list - somewhere around Acoustic/JPT sized. It's a really funny one to judge, because it's very hard to decide where the boundaries to the stage actually are. It's either bigger or smaller than John Peel, depending on how you measure it.

I wish we could come up with an actual number to put down though.

Would satisfy my OCD for sure. Was basically asking as saw the new Nick Cave film last night and it was ace. Think them headlining the Park would be magical, but too small for em. Don't see em on the Other Stage for some reason, WH ain't that vibe and while I'd be chuffed if they headliner El Pointo, would be a very bold (but correct 😉) call by the festival...

[dotdash79]

Arcadia isn’t on that list I would say that’s around 20,000

[KidneyTerra]

I’d say it’s bigger than either of the tents (JP or Acoustic). You’ll get quite a few sat on the hill.

If we put 8-15,000 does that work? I think It’s smaller than the JP now is in terms of the good spots in the bowl, but obvs it’s bigger if you count people spread out further, up & down the hill.

There’s 13,212 people in that picture above.  I reckon 15,000 is fair

Did we work out a capacity for Funkingham Palace?

Four Tet is there midnight Thursday. I'm probably going to have to arrive at midday to get in aren't I?!

[stanh]

Bumping this thread again, anyone know the capacities for The Park and Arcadia?

Nowhere (Gas Tower replacement) is said to around the 5k mark.
