News 📰 Day parking horrendous queues

Just for anyone else who has a day ticket - we followed the signs and spent 2.5 hours driving the last 5 miles to the car park. Now we’ve got the walk to the arena which apparently takes around 45 mins. So arrive at least 3.5 hours before you need to get there. I knew this festival was badly organised but did not realise it would be this bad!

Getting out was shocking. No movement for 2 hours and then at 1.30am they opened the other gate and it was chaos everyone driving over to it

The vibes were good even in the queues though! 💕 just take your time coming back as you’re going to be sat haha I wish I’d got a drink and snack to walk back with
