Yes and we have improved the camper van area. Tickets will be £45.
What are the age restrictions?
We have a policy of no teenagers at the Glade.
So children 12 and under are very welcome and can come in for free with their parents/guardians. 13-17 year olds are not allowed in at all. 18 and over must have a valid ticket. Proof of age is required for people who look under 18!
Water Facilities?
There will be plenty of clean drinking water for everybody, at many points across the site. The showers will have their own dedicated supply and will have good pressure.
Bus Service - What will be provided this year and where from?
A regular bus service will run to and from Thatcham station starting 10am Thursday morning to 10pm and from 8am to 10pm Friday. and then on Saturday less regularly.. The bus will run again back to the station from midday on Sunday until late and again from 8am on Monday until everyone has left site.... First Great Western who manages the station has agreed to improve the number of trains at peak times and more buses will be put on too to prevent congestion. Paasengers will be asked to pay a small fare and festival tickets must be shown.
We are also running coaches from London, Bristol and Exeter. Please see COACH PACKAGE to the left. We are now also running a coach from Manchester via Birmingham.
If we drive will we have to pay for parking?
It depends. We try and discourage too much fossil fuel burning and local traffic congestion by saying that if you have 3 or more in your car then parking will be free. If there is 1 or 2 people in a vehicle then they will have to pay a £5 'green tax' at the gate as in previous years..
Will there be lock up facilities this year for personal and valuable stuff?
We have a 24 hour fully secure and manned free lock up at the Glade Festival. We strongly encourage people to use it! Information as to where it is will be clear at the gate and in the programme.
How do I get a trader/stall pitch?
We are full up now.
I was wondering if there will be any alternative accommodation at Glade this year?
Yes there will. There will be a Teepee field at the Glade. Through our website you will be able to book your own Teepee that will be ready for your arrival when you get to the festival...
I was just wondering whether glade had a stage on which up and coming dj's could come and play?
We actually don't have an up and coming stage as such. it's been talked about and may well become a feature in the future.
What time do the gates open?
The gates open to the public at midday on thursday, 17th July.
What's the score with Barbeques, fires and cooking on site?
Basically there can be no fires on site at all ouside of raised, off the ground, camping cooking kits (those disposable BarBQs are not allowed) and they must be used outside your tent or you might spontaneously combust...
