I've got 6 newbies coming to the festival this year and they are interested in the pre-pitched options, does anyone know how much a 6 person bellepads, octopads and yurts were this year?

I did a podpad for the first time last year. Whilst it's not quite 'luxury', it more than did the job

 

Parking is amazing if you can get a spot

Showers are a game changer.

Distance wise it isn't too bad.

 

I'll likely be back to the campervan field this time but I'd definitely do Sticklinch again.

This isn’t meant to sound how it probably will but why would anyone attending their first Glastonbury want to stay in a campsite outside of the festival?

I know some people prefer it but for first time you’ve got to be in there to fully understand what it’s about. It’s half the fun.

Is it really ‘outside the festival’? It doesn’t seem that far out and you’re only really there to sleep.

If you have to leave site to get to it, then yes it is.

 

Psychologically (and literally), going through the gates each time you want to nip back to the tent creates a barrier.

They're not full gates like say, Gate C for motorhomes though, not when I did it anyway. There's no ticket check faff, just flash ya wristband at security as you're strolling past. More like an internal crew gate. 

The actual ticket gate was between Sticklinch and the car park. 

I guess, by that measure it's more onsite than campers / motorhomes are, isn't it?

This is completely spot on. Some of these sites are miles from the festival, it’s a nonsense

It's wouldn't be for me, but they don't have camping equipment, aren't keen on buying a load for just this. The ability to drive up and not have to pitch when they arrive, is also a big draw for them.

It's not my first time, so on the whole I agree, but I'm considering it because I'm finding it increasingly harder to get to sleep at Glastonbury as I age. Especially since I don't drink as much as I used to. So having a bed that's not on the ground is really quite appealing.

Fun is relative....

 

The festival is inclusive and different punters have different needs.

 

Theres a air of arrogance from go-oers sometimes - we feel like we've earned a right or priviledge to judge...

 

If you've not had a wet one you dont really know "glastonbury"...

 

If you've never sat online for 6 hours to get tickets... you are less worthy...

 

2010... so hot you weren't there man...

 

You "have" to be onsite... its not the "real" experience either...

 

As someone who has  got tickets in a flash to the endurance bashing of F5... stayed on site, off site glamped close and far, survived the rain of U2, the mud of 2016, the heatwaves of 2010 and the crowding of 2023...

 

Live and Let Live!

How were the podpads in the heat last year? And anyone know the same for the bellepad or yurts?

 

Coach for me this year and after ten festivals I'm trying out the accomodation options for the first time.

I agree totally, my first festival - 2005 - Oxlyers, we had a river flowing through the tent at 5am on Friday morning. The tent just survived and we had an amazing time.

2007 & 2008 - Williams Field, bigger and better tent, up on the hill so we survived the rain and storms. However I was struggling after a diagnosis of Ménière's Disease, a balance and hearing loss condition, getting to our tent without tripping was a nightmare. We looked towards the East of the site and spotted caravans.

My parents had numerous caravans during my childhood so it was the obvious solution, we bought our caravan within weeks of arriving home. A bargain - £1200.00 including the awning, next year will be Bessies (a Bessacarr caravan) 13th festival and my 16th. 

But I truly loved our first years onsite, and I totally agree that you should try it before going for an easier option. Those first three festivals were full of meeting neighbouring tent occupiers and sharing the wonderful experience of all being in it together, so close that you made a community. I will never forget any of them, or the laughs and other things we shared! 😂😍

Very true for me too, loved the unforgettable experience of camping on Big Ground for many years, then moving to CV East and relishing the comforts and good sleeps over the atmosphere. Then recent couple of years, all that plus quality facilities as a volunteer!
