When can I arrive?
You can arrive any time after the site opens on Wednesday 25th June at 8am.
This year, the west bike park is close to the Bronze gate and will signposted ‘taxi rank’. This will also be where the luggage drop off and collection point will be. The campsite is also closer to this bike park. If you have paid for your bags to be taken on site, they will be delivered to the luggage tent opposite the cyclists campsite.
The east bike park is close to purple car park 4. Unfortunately, there will be no facilities there for luggage.

How much does it cost to park my bike?
Nothing, it is free to leave your bike in the compound. It only costs to have your luggage transported to site, if you would like that service please follow the links.
Is there a camping area close by?
Yes, there is a dedicated camping field for cyclists, however, you are welcome to meet up with other friends in other camping fields if you prefer. Please note that the cycling camping field is only for those who have arrived by bike.
If you have cycled to the site and wish to camp elsewhere with your friends you are still welcome to use use our showers. Just make sure that you show your cyclists wristband to gain access.
The camping field is approximately 1 mile from the west bike park. We do have own own toilets, showers and security.
Can anyone use the cyclist campsite?
If you wish to use the cyclist campsite then you must have cycled to the festival site on your own bike – this includes children. Pillion passengers are not accepted.
Each bike and owner is given an individual tag / wristband. You will need this wristband to use our campsite and showers. If you do not have a wristband for each person then you will not be permitted access. This is to ensure that the campsite and its facilities are secure and only used by cyclists as we have records of everyone who has booked.
Are children allowed in the campsite?
Yes, however, please bear in mind that they must have also cycled to the festival and therefore have their own wristband.
Please note that this is predominantly an adult campsite and there are no specific facilities for children. You may find it better to camp in the dedicated family areas, which whilst they are in quiet areas, are also closer to the action for little legs.
Is my bike secure?
Your bike will be in a dedicated compound that is manned 24 hours a day. Access is only granted to those with a bike or bike wristband. Both you and your bike will be given numbered wristbands. The lock up is staffed 24-hours a day until 1pm on Monday 30th June. All bikes have to be collected by then.
What happens when I arrive?
When you arrive and register you will be given a unique wristband, which will grant you access to the bike storage area and campsite. You will be shown where to put your bike and how to rack it. Your bike will also be uniquely tagged so that we can check that your bike is leaving with you and not anyone else.
Do you allow electric bikes?
Yes, absolutely.
If you have an electric bike you will need to bring your own charger – please mark the bike and charger with your contact details. We are hoping to be able to charge bikes, but cannot guarantee it. We will only be able to accept the original charger supplied with the bike and not third-party chargers.
Unfortunately, we are unable to charge bikes at the east bike park due to lack of electricity, so this service is only available at the west bike park.
Is there a luggage collection service?
Yes, there are local drop-off points in Somerset and one in Kensington, London.
We have an additional luggage service this year where we will transport your bags onto site to save you having to carry them from the bike park. Please follow this link for more details.
Or, can you collect my bags from home and deliver them to the site?
Yes, we can, please follow this link for more details.
How much luggage can I bring?
If you are using one of our luggage services then the maximum allowance is 30kg per booking. You are welcome to have multiple bags, but they must not weigh more than 30kg in total.
No individual bag must weigh over 20kg – this is for the Health and Safety of our team.
If you would like to bring more than 30kg then you must make another booking. Overweight bags will be left behind and will not be transported to site.
What happens at the end of Festival?
You need to drop off your bags at the bike lock up by Bronze gate by 10am on Monday 30th June, with your return label securely attached. The local drop off service will deliver the bags back to where you dropped them off on Monday 30th June and they will need to be claimed by the end of Tuesday 1st July. If you are using the London service, they will need to be collected on the Monday afternoon / evening or Tuesday evening.
Please note that we cannot provide additional or lost labels at the site.
Once you have dropped off your bags you are free to collect your bike and have a safe ride home. All bikes have to be collected by 1pm on Monday 30th June.
Is there anything else that I need to know?
We recommend that you do not lock your bike. It is in a secure compound and should we need to move your bike we will do so. It also means that should you mislay your padlock keys we won’t need to get the angle grinder out. You have been warned.
We strongly recommend that you join our Facebook Group Bike to Glasto for all of the latest information and updates. You can also get answers to any questions you might have there too and meet other riders from your area.
Please note that should you choose to use our luggage service, you must use one of the options offered by us and no other courier companies delivering to the festival site will be accepted.
