I don’t blame people for exploring other accommodation options with upgraded amenities, but this does seem very expensive for what you get. We don’t camp anymore. Two years ago we stayed in this Airbnb at the foot of the Tor. It was a short shuttle bus or taxi ride away and it cost us less then you’d pay Lizzie and Ben to pitch your own tent on their field. Each to their own.

wow that’s amazing! Less than £460 for the festival?

I stayed here last year and it was fab and am booked to stay here again this year. I don’t see what the big deal is if people want to spend more money on glamping! We treat it as a main holiday these days. My husband has a buggered back which means he needs a proper bed to sleep on and I’m nearly 50 and my days of slumming it in a tent are over! I need some creature comforts these days! For the money, you get breakfast included, shuttled into the festival and the tent we paid for was a Belle tent with proper beds and bedding. The more people staying off site, the more room for general camping! I’ve camped on site 12 times previously but defo prefer a bit more comfort these days!

Sounds fair enough to me! 

 

You've done your time 🙂 

 

I do feel a bit sorry for the first time younger ones who go for something like this though tbh, bit like they are missing out on part of it all.  

 

You've not done Glasto properly until your wheels fallen off, your crying and you can't carry anything any longer 🤣

I’ve done all this and more and also endured the horrendous weather in the flash floods year and torrential rain and mud 2 years later. As a newbie, I’d want to be right on site and wouldn’t have been able to afford glamping prices when I was younger anyway. Horses for course though and I’m personally not bothered how people choose to do it! It’s their Glastonbury at the end of the day so each to their own! 😃

Its exactly like a city break or a holiday. Some hotels are £300 a night and have hot and cold running butlers, while some people stay in a hostel dorm for £15 a night - both are fine, cut your cloth accordingly.

I volunteer for oxfam now and have become thoroughly accustomed to the hot showers at glasto, the idea of camping among the great unwashed just doesnt appeal as much as it used to 😄 i've done my hard yards!

I think if i were camping again, i'd have a good look into some kind of offsite thing - i like to be within easy carrying distance of the car and dont mind a walk in and out of site. I couldnt really ask for more than what we get in the oxfield, my only possible criticism is i'd like showers available 24hrs . . .

Campervan van at a minimum, motorhome this year so another little notch upwards. 

 

My little sister is doing her first Glastonbury and wouldn't attend if she had to tent it, so has blagged her partner to do a motorhome too!

It’s in Edgarley, just off the A361. It has cottages plus a campsite, so probably what you’re thinking of

That’s it, we’ve camped there a few times including last May . The owners were going to the festival for the first time if I remember correctly.

The day I have to do glamping or a hotel is the day I give up festivals.

Yeah, although some claim I already “glamp” in my van in Dragon Field. 
 

Other reasons to give up include carrying a camp chair and or day pack around during the event. 
 

Oh and going to bed before the music stops, whatever time that may be

You might change your perspective when you reach that day!

Oh please... you absolutely glamp it up and in prime real estate.  Maybe if you had to camp on the outermost regions of the festival you'd need a chair or a day bag to carry some things around with you.  No - you just glamp right in the centre of the festival, moan that Avalon is in your way and tell everyone else how they should do the festival without a bag??

I love an Efests trope 😄 bags are for wimps, pockets are enough!

 

no they're not, and you're all happy when i bring out a bag of nuts/fizzy snakes/a can of barrel-aged imperial stout and offer em around in the middle of a crowd, innit? bags are a very marginal annoyance, and a right result when you need something.

Have to be big pockets, like those in cargo pants. I have struggled a little in my suit wearing days. But yeah pockets are generally fine: baccy/papers/smoke/other substances/wallet/phone/ small water bottle clipped to belt loop. Everything necessary there. No chance of knocking someone’s head off when dancing or leaving your bag somewhere
