24th, 25th and 26th June 2005, in a couple of fields not that far from snaffler.

Just to say that Veggies will be doing food 24 hours daily in Green Futures Field.

The Festival website is here.

Chas 'n' Dave are to be confirmed.

So who's going ?

ps Bristol isn't that far away, so could be a good stopping off place

[VeganMum]

The Charity I work for have ran all disabled camping facilities for the festival for the last 10 years I have worked running this for them for the last 4, sadly we have pulled out now but for many good reasons and my sanity .

Any how any tips and advice on working their or who to or not to work for or anything else you want to know from a vegan with inside knowledge just send me a PM as long as its not about free passes and blagging stuff I will try to help.

[Gorilla]

it's been my dream to go to Glastonbury one year, but i've never been able to.

[snaffler]

Well Gorilla if the Charity I work for go back in 2007 when the festival returns you can come and help us for a free ticket but thats a big if and a long way off.

Alternatively just go and help one of the other charitys but I would not do recycling as it will kill the strongst person getting up at 5 am and litter picking UGGHG

[snaffler]

Well it didnt take long to flog all the tickets today

[Stu]

Woohoo!

I got my ticket within 3 minutes of them going on sale.

Just had to get it off my chest...

[Jobey]

I got my ticket It's the first time I've been for a couple of years so I can't wait!

Orange will be selling "a few hundred" Glastonbury Festival tickets via Orange handsets tomorrow (Tuesday) morning, starting at 9:30am.

These tickets are not extra tickets, spare tickets or returned tickets, but are allocated to Orange by the Festival as part of their sponsorship deal with the Festival as the official digital partner. So although there's a chance for those who missed out on tickets on the main sales day to buy these, it doesn't mean that more tickets are about to go on general sale.

The tickets are available to be bought by Orange customers using their phones, via the Orange WAP site, Orange World. They're priced at the full ticket price of £125, plus any booking fees that might apply, and will be sold on a first come first served basis.

To buy one of these tickets, text GLASTOTICKETS to 247 or simply visit the Orange World homepage from most handsets.

[bittersweet]

But today is Tuesday...isn't it?

[snaffler]

YEP well spotted I just pasted this in from another website did not take much notice of details - the charity I work for get me free tickets for our help we provide them

[gertvegan]

The Vegan Society will have a stall somewhere in the Green Futures Field, I think.

[gertvegan]

On the walk from the Pyramid to the Other stage, Oli’s of Brighton have some tasty vegetarian and vegan delights, according to the fest website.

[gertvegan]

And as you make your way to the west of the site past the south of F market and the late night sounds of Mamafrica, at the White Spring Café you can grab a vegan snack while perusing local artwork.

[gertvegan]

And then Goodness Gracious Healthy Foods provide for vegetarians and vegans in the campervan fields.

[Stu]

There's really no need to memorise these places.

1) Vegan food is all over Glasto.

2) You never get to go where you planned to go at Glasto. It's just too big and there's too many distractions.

[snaffler]

PM if you wish to know more this is genuine

Swim in Vegan Mayo Not Mud at Glastonbury this Year

www.emediawire.com June 23, 2005

“Glastonbury revelers may be up to their necks in egg free, vegan mayonnaise not mud” say Plamil, UK pioneers of plant milk products.

(PRWEB) June 23, 2005 -- Many people have fond, nostalgic memories of being knee deep in mud at the legendary annual midsummer rock festival Glastonbury. Glastonbury’s ancient and sacred mud has even been auctioned on Ebay.

The world famous open air festival at Glastonbury, Somerset, UK which has got much bigger since the demise of Stonehenge free festival is renowned for enjoying freak mid-summer downpours which turns the whole festival and camp site into a quagmire of mud and sludge.

This year Glastonbury’s visitors from Tepee dwellers, beatniks and hippies to skinheads, Punks and new age Rastafarians will be more likely to up to their necks in vegan mayonnaise.

Adrian Ling from Plamil the UK pioneers of soya milk, dairy free and pea protein products “We’ve sold more egg free vegan mayonnaise this year than ever before and gallons of it are going to Glastonbury”

A Glastonbury festival caterer says” The Vegan mayonnaise tastes delicious and suits everybody”

Adrian adds “One of our clients recommends it as emergency festival all over body sun-block too, but it’s not something we would recommend unless you have a good friend who’s keen to lick it all off “

“There’s a big demand for organic Dairy free, egg free, vegan and vegetarian food at these festival events. It makes no sense for caterers to have various brands when they can have gallons of one vegan one that pleases everyone” says catering consultant Tony Bishop-Weston from Foods For Life.
