Champagne at Glastonbury

[hblow]

Hi everyone,

 

So this is a but of neichr question, I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend at Glastonbury this year. I was wondering if anyone would be able to tell me if there is anywhere that sells champagne, or anything similar that I'd be able to buy to celebrate after she hopefully says yes haha.

Prosecco bar?

[HotChipWillBreakYourLegs]

Most bars sell prosecco I think.  You might have to order a bottle as 3 large glasses and then distribute.  They won't let you have the glass bottle, but if you ask the bar staff nicely and promise to bring it back to the bar they may let you take it.

Some bars did sell bottles of champagne - we bought one a few years back to celebrate something or other - decanted into plastic glasses as above. 

 

It's probably inconsistent year on year though- best just to ask.

As above, I’ve definitely had Prosecco before. 
 

And good luck! How exciting. Decided where you’re going to do it?

So I was thinking near the glasto sign overlooking all of glasto.... any other cute places to recommend would be great 🙂

Pick a place thats particularly special to you for the proposal! - i dont want to sound like a right miserable twat but proposing on the hill by the Glastonbury sign on the weds night is not an original or special thing, there's people queuing to do the same thing 😄 if you're up there for more than fifteen mins you'll see a proposal or ten.

A couple of friends of mine had their proposal up there, and that was great for them, but with each further proposal it becomes a little less individual!

If you saw a particularly good set of your joint favourite band, then try and find that spot in the pyramid/truth stage/arcadia field and propose there, perhaps? or the patch where you first camped together at glastonbury? I dunno, maybe i'm not of the Instagram set and would prefer to see a bit more input than 'pick the place where everyone does it' . . . 

 

Edit: thats where you've mentioned! feel free to ignore me, i'm just some prick on the internet 😄

Who's she most excited to see? Why not see that set and then when it's been a fantastic moment for her/you two, get on that knee and do it!

if you use this location, do it at a time that’s not busy so it feels more special. If you’re early risers the sunrise there is amazing

She is most excited to see Coldplay.... that's on the Saturday, the stress I would feel about loosing the ring.. I wouldn't act normal hahaha so I'm planning on doing it on the Thursday which is the day we arrive.

I did this last year and would recommend the Ribbon Tower early in the morning (particularly if the weather is nice). I also took in Prosecco in miniature aluminium bottles and they stayed surprisingly cold. Think I got them from a mainstream supermarket (Tesco or Asda).

Personally, I'd choose The Temple at around 4am.  That'd be cute.

It's not too late to change your mind 🙂 

[Ayrshire Chris]

I assume she doesn’t have an efest log in? That would scupper the surprise! I’m sure wherever you pick it will be special. 

[glimmers_of_hope]

I got engaged at Glasto, I think it was before the big glasto sign was a thing but we sat on the slope overlooking the festival 1 field over and watched the sun set on the Thursday.  I took a "substitute" ring which wasn't the real one because a.) didn't want to lose it carrying it around in my pocket all day and b.) wanted to pick the ring together as I would be sure to get it wrong otherwise.

 

Good luck 🙂

[Crazyfool01]

maybe a coldplay fan might be able to deliver the ring to wherever you choose 🙂

My mate met his now fiancé dancing under the Arcadia spider years ago when it was in SE corner. Few years later he proposed to her again under the spider , nice touch I thought. Technically different spot tho as it was over towards park by then 

[Scrump]

Congratulations! Will be great whatever you end up doing I'm sure. 

Please do give an update after the festival, will be nice to hear where and how it goes down!

[fred quimby]

Exciting.

 

Stone circle I reckon. Never going to go away for a long time so you can always visit, even when festival is not on, and take the kids (there'll be kids right)

The stones will also absorb the love energy and release to others over time.

 

Sorry went all hippy on the last bit

This reminds me of a guy last year who collected an engagement ring from the lockups on the Sunday night, looking like he was leaving. 

 

Wonder what happened?

[blutarsky]

Do it in the third long drop on the right at the back of the pyramid field. I'll leave a surprise in there for you.

Oh my gosh YES if it's a beautiful sunrise that would be perfect

Can I have some of your mushrooms please, Fred? 🙂 

[giantkatestacks]

Please dont leave any glass bottles in any of the fields - they get run over by the bin tractors and its an unholy mess. But other than that congrats!
