Holt Farm is a new pre-book campsite for Glastonbury Festival. We’ve pulled together all the information we think you’ll need but do get in touch on info@holtfarm.co.uk if you have any further questions.
Your Top Questions
The loos will NOT be the festival’s long-drops! Most probably porta-johns toilets and shower trailers (with hot water), with a 24 hour cleaning crew onsite around the clock. There will be no shortage of either, but as with any campsite we would recommend avoiding peak times.
On the first entrance through Pedestrian Gate D (only 30 metres from the Holt Farm entrance), you will need to queue for your initial ticket accreditation. But once accredited there’ll be a fast track entrance for those who already have their festival wristbands, to enter via Gate D quickly!
You can use the plot however you like, but your tent and guy ropes must not extend outside the dimensions of the plot whether 3 x 3m or 5 x 5m.
For tents larger than 3 x 3m upgrade the size and check-out on a 5 x 5m plot. For tents larger than 5 x 5m you will need to book a second plot.
If you have secured coach tickets, you will be unable to drop off a vehicle and will be turned away. Please arrive by coach if you have secured coach tickets.
If you are unable to arrive with the Lead Booker please contact info@holtfarm.co.uk to give us a second Lead Booker name to attach to your Holt Farm booking. You will then be able to go through wristband accreditation for Holt Farm with either the Lead Booker or the Second Lead Booker. We cannot accept more than 2 Lead Booker names per booking.
The number of people cannot be changed after booking. Please ensure that you have stated the correct number of people per plot at the point of booking (max. 3 people per 3 x 3m plot and max. 5 people per 5 x 5m plot).
Yes! You can book up to 4x guaranteed plots or Luxury Bell Tents.
Please be aware when booking any combination of 3 x 3m and 5 x 5m plots that each will be grouped into areas in our fields (the 3 x 3m plots together and 5 x 5m plots marked together). If you are planning to check-out on one of each, your plots will not be located next to each other and may be in different areas.
This will be available to book nearer the time.
Tickets & Booking
Yes. You cannot access or stay at Holt Farm unless you have already purchased Glastonbury Festival tickets.
Following check-in at Holt Farm, our Reception team will direct you to the closest accreditation site at Pedestrian Gate D to receive your festival wristbands. These will be checked on entry to the festival. Don’t forget you will need your personal photo ID.
No, you will just need the name of the Lead Booker to make a booking for Holt Farm. However, please make sure everyone in your party has Glastonbury Festival tickets otherwise they will not be allowed to stay on site.
All you need to do is complete our online booking form and pay to secure your pitch. All booking details will be sent to the Lead Booker in a confirmation email on completion of the booking.
Please note, car parking spaces can be added to your booking at 1 car pass per plot. Please make sure you book your car parking space at the same time as your plot.
Holt Farm will send new information and updates via email to the Lead Booker noted at the time of booking. It will be the responsibility of the Lead Booker to share information received from Holt Farm with every person in their booking.
On arrival at Holt Farm, you will need to provide the Lead Booker’s full name, present your Holt Farm booking confirmation, Photo ID and show your Glastonbury Festival ticket. If you have booked a parking space you will also need to have your Parking Pass printed and displayed in your windscreen.
Holt Farm wristbands will only be issued to those who can present a valid Glastonbury Festival ticket plus Holt Farm confirmation email and photo ID. Please be prepared that wristbands will be put onto the ticket holder’s wrist by the wristbanding team. You will need to be with the Lead Booker as we cannot give any number of wristbands to the Lead Booker or other members of the party to distribute later.
Separate wristbands will be issued to Holt Farm Boutique Campers.
Once you have checked in to Holt Farm, make your way over to Pedestrian Gate D where you can swap your Festival ticket for a Glastonbury Festival wristband. Once you have your wristbands you can use Gate D, via the fast-track entrance to access the festival.
No unaccompanied under 18s are allowed on site. All under 18s must be accompanied by a paying adult ticket holder (aged over 18.) This adult must remain on site throughout the whole weekend as the guardian of the under 18-year-old. Children of all ages are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
No, but you will need to bring proof of age if they look older than 12, and collect a child wristband from one of the information points or the Kidzfield. They must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder. Children are welcome at Holt Farm, and must be included as one of the five person limit per pitch.

Holt Farm offers a choice of 3 different camping areas – Quiet, Family and/or General – but it is located on the fence of Glastonbury Festival so whilst we hope you catch plenty of beauty sleep, we cannot control the buzz and hum from the festival itself!
Yes, but we urge you to take the party into Glastonbury! We are a family friendly campsite and so late-night revelry is best kept to the festival.
