How To Get There

Glastonbury Festival takes place at Worthy Farm, in Pilton, near Glastonbury. (Click here for map)

For those coming from outside North Somerset you have the choice from a range of options of how you get to the festival. There are large car parks adjacent to the site, but be aware that you have to purchase your parking ticket before arriving - this can be done through the booking agents if you have not done so already. National Express also run coaches, and a free bus link is available from the nearest railway station, Castle Cary.

However, for those travelling from Nailsea, or North Somerset in general, there really is only one way you should consider getting to the festival. The Nailsea – Glastonbury FireBus has run to every festival from 1997, providing bargain transport to and from the gate.

Update 14/6/05:

Sorry to say that for the second year running the FireBus will be staying at the FireBus station and we must all make our own way. This is partly due to traditional FireBus travellers moving away from Nailsea or no longer going to the festival, and also as we get older we don't know many of the younger potential travellers and can't publicise it so well. Perhaps for 2007 something can be organised to restore the great FireBus tradition.

However, once everyone arrives it would be good to keep the Nailsea (and friends) campsite together, in the traditional place near the fence in the Wicket Ground. After two successive failures with gazebos* we have decided to abandon that idea, and instead are constructing a huge "HMZ" flag to mark the site with. The HMZ team will be there at 10am on Wednesday to raise the flag, so it should be easy for those arriving later on Wednesday or Thursday to find us. If you would like a map of where our traditional camping is spot please email us and we will gladly send it to you - the more the merrier.

*RIP 2003 & 2004 gazebo, you gave yourselves so bravely to the flames!
