3000's a crowd


If a swelling crowd develops, avoid adding to it. Getting caught in crush can be pretty scary. Instead take a moment to sit down, relax, and listen for announcements offering alternative routes away from a potential build-up of people. Glastonbury is an unhurried experience, unlike most of life. Be patient.

Getting around



  • The site is a massive 900 acres. Not counting the endless distractions or baggage, it takes at least an hour to walk from end to end of the site. And that's in daylight, sober.

  • Disorientation easily sets in - not only in children. The surroundings change dramatically after sunset, when more tents arrive and crowds gather.

  • Arranging to meet friends at the Mixing Tower may seem like a good idea - until you try it during a headline band after dark. Try the Meeting Point or a quieter landmark and remember that 'time' becomes a vague concept at the festival. Be prepared to wait.


Getting in touch


  • Use your mobile phone to keep in touch with friends.

  • Mobile phone providers have been invited to increase their capacity, but only Orange has transmitters on site to meet the demand. The Orange Help Centre can recharge your batteries and help with any questions.



    • Information Points


  • If you get lost, try leaving a message at any (or all) of the five Info Points, and/or with Radio Avalon (87.7 FM) who have an outpost at Main Info Point.

  • Info Points are great places. They can give you directions, maps, transport details, local town and Festival information. They can post cards home, offer succour, handle complaints and compliments. They also provide free rubbish bags, suncream and condoms.

  • The only public payphones are at Info Points.

  • The free 'Q Daily' can be picked up at any Info Point, Friday to Sunday. Info Points also handle advance orders for mailing of the souvenir 'Q Glastonbury: The Ultimate Review' for £2.50 (plus p&p). It is also available Monday morning at the exits.
