After a three-year hiatus, we can’t wait to be back in the fields! As well as the return of all
the Festival’s much loved areas, stages and the incredible line up, there are a few exciting
changes to Glastonbury 2022 including:
● The introduction of this campsite! Worthy View’s sister campsite, Sticklinch.
● New stages in Silver Hayes: The Lonely Hearts Club, an art deco cinema structure
standing over 40 foot high, and Firmly Rooted, a space celebrating all things
sound-system culture.

We are all getting very excited about meeting you in a field very soon. This is your comprehensive guide on
the arrival and check-in processes, as well as the onsite facilities. This should operate as your FAQ's, so do
share with the rest of your group, as it only comes to you as Lead Booker.
If you can't find the answer to your questions below, then do please contact us, we're here
to help! Likewise we are always looking to improve so do send any feedback through to us
too.
Stay in the loop!
Throughout the event we will be tweeting lots of info and updates, so stay in touch, beat
the queues and prepare for the weather by adding us on twitter at @worthyview
Sticklinch Campsite Location
Sticklinch is located to the west side of the Festival on the former site of the West
Campervan Fields, near Cineramageddon. This campsite is more accessible with flat
routes to the Festival, no steep hills like Worthy View.
Arrival and Check in
You will receive one barcode per booking, which can be used as many times as the
occupancy of your tent permits. It is advisable to print barcodes out, as phone scanning
can be problematic.
Group Arrival / Arriving at Different Times
As lead booker, you are responsible for distributing the bar code to any members of your
group who will be arriving separately. For security, we would advise that you do NOT
distribute the barcode if you don't have to. The barcode will only permit as many scans
as the occupancy of your accommodation. Once the barcode has been scanned the
maximum number of times permitted by your booking, it will not permit any further entries
and people in your party may be denied entry. Please impress on your party how
important it is to keep your barcode safe.
IMPORTANT: the barcode only allows access to your accommodation in conjunction with
a valid Festival ticket. Your barcode does NOT replace your Festival tickets, which you
must present on arrival at Sticklinch. Any ticket queries should be referred to See Tickets.
Gates open at 8:00am on Wednesday 22th June.
If you need to collect your ticket from the international ticket collection cabin at Gate A,
please do so before you arrive at Sticklinch as you will not be able to enter Sticklinch
without a valid Festival ticket.
Please don't arrive expecting to squeeze more people into your tent as we are not able to
accommodate extra guests. The only exception to this is children aged 12 or under on
22nd June 2022.
Children
Please email us if you are bringing your children on site to ensure we have enough
wristbands on the gate. In addition to the adults, we allow one child per two & four person
accommodation unit and two children per six & eight person accommodation unit.
Arrival and Check in Process
·
Have your Festival ticket in hand ready to show
·
Show the confirmation email with your Barcode
·
Once your ticket has been checked it will be swapped for a Worthy View wristband. Please look after
it, as we are not able to replace lost or damaged wristbands.
·
Please be prepared that all adult attendees may be required to show some photographic ID.
·
You will receive your Festival programme as you exit the gate.
Please note you will only be issued with sufficient Sticklinch wristbands for the maximum
occupancy of your tent. A Sticklinch wristband will only be issued to the person presenting a
Glastonbury Festival ticket plus Sticklinch barcode and will be put onto the ticket holder by the
wristbanding team. We cannot give a number of wristbands to the lead booker to distribute
later.
Once you have gone through the Sticklinch gate, you have a few options based on the type of
accommodation that you bought. If you’re staying in a Glastonbury Festival Scout tent or bell
tent then you will have been sent your tent number and row with a map of the campsite in
advance - feel free to make your own way to your tent. If you’re staying in a podpad,
bunkpads or bellepad head to Blue Reception. Tipis and Yurts are in Green Reception. Bell
tents are between Orange and Purple Receptions. Please refer to the email sent to you just
prior to the Festival with information about which tent/ reception you need to visit.
Otherwise, you can head to Pink Reception where you will be greeted by our friendly team
who will provide directions to your tent. There will also be stewards around to help you carry
your stuff.
We will be operating a 24 hour check in at all of the receptions until Friday, however it
helps us if you try to turn up before 10pm if you can. Pink Reception stays open 24hrs
throughout the Festival to support with any issues.
Check out
Please vacate the campsite on the morning of Monday 27th June. (The campsite will
be closed at 12 noon.) Please remember to take all of your belongings and LEAVE
NO TRACE
.
Access to Sticklinch
Sticklinch has its own car park on the Orange route. Follow the signs via the
A371. For anyone arriving by Coach you will be dropped at Pedestrian Gate A.
Enter the Festival on foot via gate A and walk from Pedestrian Gate A, via
Pedestrian Gate D to Sticklinch.
Drop off and Collection Point
For those being dropped-off at the Festival there is a 24 hour Drop and Collect service with
a 24/7 bus service that runs to and from the Festival (GATE A) continuously.
The Drop and Collect will be open for the public from 9:00am on Tuesday 21st onwards and
remains open until 8.00pm on Monday 27th.
It is located to the east of the site. Head towards Evercreech on the A371 and follow the
signs for Drop and Collect or DC. Plan a route that keeps you away from the immediate
area of the Festival as the A361 is closed for through traffic on the Monday after the
Festival between Glastonbury and Shepton Mallet.
After arriving at Pedestrian Gate A, follow the map to Sticklinch campsite.
Accommodation
Canvas tents (scout tents, yurts, bell tents, tipi tents) do not include beds or bedding, so
you will need to bring these with you. Podpads, Bunkpads and Octopads include beds and
air mattresses, so you will just need to bring your bedding. Please take all your bedding
home with you at the end of the Festival.

First Aid

Showers
Worthy View and Sticklinch Campsites are the only public campsites at the Festival which
offer exclusive showers. Demand can be very high which can cause issues with water
supply so these are some things to bear in mind:
·
Some of the showers are communal / semi-partitioned, with a large communal
changing area. You may want to bring a bikini or swimming shorts if you don’t want
to shower in the nude!
·
They are separated into male and female shower units.
·
We encourage everyone to prepare for the showers in the changing room to speed
up the flow of people in the shower units themselves.
·
Showers will be open a minimum of 7:00am – 14:00pm and then 18:00pm –
23:00pm.
·
The queues are largest between 8:00am and 10:00am, so why not freshen up for
the evening ahead instead?
·
The water tanks need to refill and this can take a while so there can be some
downtimes. Showering outside of peak hours is advisable.
·
Keep in touch with @worthyview for updates and to discover the quiet times.
·
Please use water sparingly and try to stick to a 3-5 minute shower so everyone can
enjoy the facilities.
·
It's a Festival, take some time out from the usual routine, and go without a shower!

We have a good quantity of toilets that include blocks of flushing loos and banks of compost
loos - check the site plan that we send out nearer to the Festival with locations for the toilets
in Sticklinch.
Sink Units
At the main toilet block there will also be sink units with push taps, so you can brush your
teeth, wash your face and clean any pots & pans.
Please don’t use the sinks in the toilet trailers to brush your teeth as they are hand
wash only!
The Pamper Parlour
No need to weigh your bag down with hair dryers or hair straighteners as there are no
electrical points. Instead, head to the Pamper Parlour which boasts new salon standard hair
dryers, curlers and straighteners, all just waiting to help make you look fabulous!

reasonable quantity for personal consumption (no more than you can carry in your hands
on your first arrival to the campsite). Please do remember glass bottles are not permitted,
any glass will be confiscated.
When consuming alcohol you should drink responsibly, make sure you stay within your
