Camping

Tent space is included in the ticket price and there are specified fields where people are expected to camp within the site. Thousands of people stay in the same fields and remembering where your cumfy little pocket of canvassed space is can be a nightmare - flags are a good start.

Picking your spot calls for strategic planning. Bear in mind that anywhere close to the path is likely to turn into a flowing river of mud if it rains and anywhere close to the edge of the field is where the impromptu toilet facilities will be located - you catch my drift?

There are areas catering to specific groups - the camping fields near the Green Futures Field generally tends to be a more mellow crowd; camping near the dance marquee guarantees all night parties . . . choose your fate.

Families might be wise to direct themselves at Cockmill Meadow fields where a quieter atmosphere is enforced by fellow campers and stewards if necessary.

Camper-vans and caravans

For people who have travelled to the site in camper-vans and caravans there is now an allocated field to the east side of the main site where you may sleep - health and safety regulations stipulate that you may not erect tents next to your vehicle.

Facilities in this area includes toilets, standpipes and grey water disposal outlets but there is no electric hook up.

For entry to this area you are obliged to purchase a Campervan Pass at £25. Available through the festival's central office cheques should be made payable to Glastonbury Festivals Ltd, 28 Northload St, Glastonbury, BA6 9JJ. You must include a photocopy of your Festival ticket (with details of where it was purchased), your vehicle registration number and a stamped self-addressed envelope.
