Suggestions to make Glastonbury better.
- Put some loos near Glade Lounge. There's a bar, eats, Glade stage but it's a long walk to the nearest loos. Almost exactly in the middle of an empty loo free zone.
- Move the Jazz stage left so the pathway doesn't cut right through the crowd
- Bring back the Dance Lounge and Dance Roots tents.
- Tell somebody to sell banana cake.
- Fix the leaky taps, that produce a stream, that creates a lake, in the two major walkways into the VIP bar area. (yeah, I know, damn bastard, VIPs).

didn''t the glade toilets used to be where they now have the main stage there?
I don't think there is a lot of room to move it left, without seriously restricting the area behind the stalls there.

just some thoughts... ;)

I kind of think there were loos just over the railway track from Glade once. But now they're really quite a long way up the hill. I also think back in the day there might have been some where the Fusion One stage was in 2011.

My mate John McH (used to be involved in Glasto mgmt) was the one suggesting moving the Jazz stage left, more into the corner of the field. But maybe it would never have worked. I watched Parliament/Funkadelic there, and the crowd spilled right over the path almost to the bar. If you wanted to get through along the path (to get to the loos say!) it was a real challenge.

Glade area has probably changed quite a lot over the years. I remember when it was almost like an unofficial stage area. Tho recently I think it's changed quite a bit every year.

Toilets and access to them is a major problem that needs attention, as better placement of them means less pissing in the hedges!

Jazz, or West Holts as it's been renamed, would probably benefit by the road being moved rather than the stage, as the stage is pretty much in the corner of the field anyway.

Here's another one then. More real ale! The ale tent up by the folk stage is always a good place to get a drunk on. Shame there aren't more of them.

oh, am in agreement there, tho am a cider drinker myself! (Not that fizzy pear stuff more akin to babycham than cider!) The beer tents should all have proper ales and ciders available! There's a nice bar up in Shangri-La that had a nice range of ciders and perry's, pretty sure a range of ales too! Tho was pretty hard to find, think it was called the Garden Bar or something!

Cider? I can recommend the avalonvineyard.co.uk‎ East Pennard then. A bit tricky to get to at either end of the festival week but easy at other times.

will note that for the next time I'm down that way!

Couple of years back me and a friend arranged to go down to Burrow Hill (home of the cider bus!) and stock up for the winter. Didn't realise it was Apple Day and they were having a bit of a doo. They made us very welcome though, just regretted the fact I was driving!
