What have you done to get ready for Glastonbury 24 ?

[Crazyfool01]

So maybe a little early and presumptuous but I need something to focus on at the moment and the build might be a bit different to normal so ive ordered a couple of screens for version 6 ... similar to this . Unrelated ive booked to see a chiropractor 🙂

Still a bit of festival season 2023 left to go before I plan 2024 but I've confirmed that I defo have a space for next year now so that's a good place to start! 

[balti-pie]

Googled hotels/travelodges near the site to try and work out a likely place for the sunday before, or maybe even the sunday night of the festival - unclear on the second one cos i dont know if i fancy driving when ive been on me feet all day . . .

Excellent, maybe we'll catch up next year

For me, pretty much certain unless something strange happens.

Started my collection of rabbits feet and four leafed clovers

I haven’t quite processed ‘23 yet!

Only thing I have “done” this year is affirm my love for the place to an even greater level, thus guaranteeing I’ll be trying in the October sale.

We’ve already booked a Glastonbury b and b for two days pre and oneday post festival. With an option to cancel if we can’t get tickets, not at all confident of that but trying to stay positive. Since returning so many folk have been asking me how to get tickets,registration procedures etc.  The BBC coverage and weather seems to have encouraged many prospective first timers.

Booked leave 😀

There’s a nice YHA in Shepton mallet with camping pods which might be worth a look

Not in Shepton there isn't. Might be an independent? Nearest YHAs are Street and Cheddar

Ah, OK.. Unfortunately Street no longer takes individual bookings, you can only hire the whole place so you'd need about 20 mates.

Oh that’s a shame - apologies for the rubbish suggestion @balti-pie!

It is a shame. Happening at a few hostels now unfortunately (I work for YHA). I never got the chance to stay at Street. Was booked to stay before Glastonbury 2020 but that obviously didn't happen

😊 you’re cool, it ended up being proper informative anyways! Drove thru Street this year on me way to Glastonbury town for a night before the festival, wouldn’t mind staying round there again - quite enjoying the research tbf

Convinced myself it will be me who gets through this year

Looking good.  Any news yet on what the footage was like from cf cam? 

[Derhammer]

Researching a new tent this year -  fresh and black after being unable to survive past 7am in the current sweat box! This is of course a commitment to the ticket gods if they can assist me!

I’ve got some footage but it’s pretty minimal . Doesn’t seem like my remote worked properly … I’m struggling to download it though as it’s not showing as a device on my Mac

Bought one this year. Definite worthwhile investment. As with most tents, 2 man is really 1 man + gear.

Yeah, definitely considering jumping on board the F&B train as well

[gigpusher]

Booked the dog sitters for next year already.

Cheddar is quite a good option. I've stayed there a few times before a Monday arrival. Bath too.

Sundays are often quite cheap too so ideal for volunteers. (Weekend punters have left, lots of school groups that time of year who arrive on a Monday so lots of empty rooms on a Sunday) Although they probably won't be cheap yet thanks to our ridiculous pricing policy.

Oh that's a shame, but was worth a pop
