Helicopter or fixed-wing movement into the region, with ground transfer
Around it
Stay
Babington House
Forty minutes away in a Georgian house with a walled garden. The established answer for anyone who wants the festival by day and a proper bed by night.
Explore
The Newt in Somerset
Gardens, a cyder press and a serious kitchen, near Bruton. A restorative morning between two long days.
Go
The south-east corner
Shangri-La, Block9 and the areas that only come alive after the headline sets finish. It is the part of the festival people actually talk about afterwards.
Dates, tiers and price come back together, and only once the route is confirmed. Nothing here is held until you ask for it.
