Glastonbury 2027. Five days in a field, and a clean run in and out of Worthy Farm.

If you have a ticket and a tent, the festival's own coach and train arrangements are the sensible way in and we will not pretend otherwise. This page is for the other group: management moving an artist between a soundcheck and a stage slot, a label bringing clients for a day, a production company running crew from Bristol or Bath at unsociable hours, and the assistant who has to get two people from a Friday morning meeting in London onto the site before an afternoon set.

The work is mostly in the joins. Accreditation and vehicle passes are issued by the festival, not by us, and what your pass permits is the single biggest factor in how close a car can get. Send it to us and we will plan to it. Without one, a car goes as far as the public drop-off arrangements allow and no further, and the rest is on foot or on the festival's own internal transport.

Worthy Farm is served by the A37 and the A361, both of which are ordinary rural roads that were never meant to carry a city. Public car parking is signed to lettered and coloured gates off those two roads, and a traffic plan is published shortly before the festival that changes which approach works from which direction. Wednesday morning inbound is the worst of it, and the Monday exit is the other side of the same coin, with everybody trying to leave a wet field at once.

Our advice to management and production is simple and unglamorous. Move people on Tuesday or early Wednesday rather than Wednesday lunchtime. Use Castle Cary for anyone who can take a train from London Paddington and be met at the station by a car, because the last eight miles are far quicker than the last eighty. And treat Monday morning as a lost half day rather than a scheduling opportunity.

Our own cars are the Mercedes-Benz S-Class and the V-Class, and both do this job well on made-up roads, hardstanding and the farm tracks in normal conditions. If the week turns wet, the useful vehicle becomes something with more ground clearance, and we would rather tell you that in May than argue about it in a gateway at midnight. Ask us about availability of a four wheel drive or a larger crew vehicle for your dates and we will tell you plainly what we can field and what we would arrange.

It is also worth planning where a car waits. Vehicle movement inside the site is restricted once the festival is running, and a chauffeur who leaves the perimeter may not be able to come straight back in. We usually hold the car at an agreed point outside and bring it forward when you are genuinely walking out, rather than parking it somewhere it cannot move.

Bristol Airport is the practical arrival point for a private flight, with Bournemouth and Exeter as alternatives if slots or parking are tight. We can arrange the aircraft and have a car on the ramp side where the terminal permits, then run the last thirty miles by road.

Helicopters come up every year. Any landing near the site is controlled by the festival and its production and aviation teams, and permission is theirs to give, not ours. If you have that permission, we can arrange the flight and cars at both ends. If you do not, we will say so rather than sell you a flight that ends in a field you cannot use.
