Glastonbury Festival

Green Kids Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the Green Kids field a Creche?

NO. Parent/Carers/Guardians are responsible for their children throughout the festival. Glastonbury Festival does not take on the care or responsibility for your children. Every person under the age of 18 on site should have someone responsible for them - generally the adult that brought them to the festival, or an adult that their parent has arranged to be responsible for them.

2. What does the kids area provide?

The kids area provides facilities and activities for children of all ages, from nought to 18. We are open from 8 am till 9 pm each day. There is an attached programme of events and activities below.

3. What happens if I lose a child?

There are two lost kids centres, one up in the Main Kidz Field and one in the Green Kids Field. Both are open from 9 am till 6 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you lose a child during these hours, come to one of these centres and we will take down details and send out details on the stewards network so relevant people can look for them. We will also provide reassurance and any help we can to the situation. If you lose a child outside of these hours, report it to your nearest stewards or welfare point and the information can be transmitted around the site. Lost Children outside of 9 am to 6pm are taken to Wagonshed Welfare by the Farmhouse, and they can be looked after safely and comfortably until they can be reunited. Losing a child at a place like Glastonbury can be very scary, both for the child and the parents. However, the system is used to dealing with lost kids and children have always been found, normally very quickly, and reunited. If you are bringing children into the festival with you it is worth talking and walking through with them what they should do if you do lose each other. We can also advise you to put your mobile phone number in marker pen on your child's arm, so we can contact you, but not their name. If you don't have a phone just the name of the field you are camped in is helpful.

4. What should I do if I find a lost child?

There are two lost kids centres, one up in the Main Kidz Field and one in the Green Kids Field. Both are open from 9 am till 6 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. If you find a lost child, bring them to either centre and we will look after them until they can be reunited with their parents. If you find a child outside of these hours take them to the nearest stewards or welfare post who will take them to Wagonshed Welfare. Wagonshed Welfare can look after children through the night and for as long as necessary.
