FAQs

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.

The answer is no!
You will be required to show your Holt Farm booking confirmation, Photo ID and show your Glastonbury Festival ticket to enter the Holt Farm car park as well as entrance from Pedestrian Gate D. Ticket confirmation emails will not be accepted, only Glastonbury Festival Tickets.

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.

Pre-book now and power your devices all weekend. Mastercharge will be on site with secure, wristband operated lockers with sockets and USB ports, and ‘charge and go’ power bank machines. Either book here or visit the Mastercharge pitch at the Farm.

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. For more information on bringing children to Glastonbury, please visit the festival website here.

You will receive an email in advance of the festival with all the information you need. This will include directions and a contact telephone number for our on-site reception team. Please add info@holtfarm.co.uk to your contacts so that our emails don’t end up in your junk folder.

The camp will open on Wednesday 25th June at 12 noon and close at 12 noon on Monday 30th June. All pitches must be vacated by this time. Please do not arrive earlier than advertised as you will not be given access to the site and may cause traffic problems.

We recommend visiting the Glastonbury Festival website for details on car parking zones and checking traffic routes before making your journey. Click here for more information on Glastonbury Festival’s car parking.

Please note we are not affiliated with Glastonbury Festivals Ltd, so if you have already bought parking passes through the festival we are not in a position to offer refunds.

Guaranteed Plots

For Holt Farm 2025 we are offering two plot sizes. You can either book a smaller 3 x 3m plot or larger 5 x 5m plot.

Your tent and its guy ropes must fit within the perimeter of this space. If your tent is larger than 3 x 3m please consider checking-out on a 5 x 5m plot. If your tent is larger than this area, or guy ropes fall outside a 5 x 5m perimeter, you will need to plot another plot.

Please note that there is a maximum occupancy of people per pitch is 3 people for a 3 x 3m plot and 5 people for a 5 x 5m plot (this includes children).

No, it is a marked out area for you to make your own home for the festival duration.

Our 3 x 3m pitches are suitable for up to 3 people, and the 5 x 5m pitches for up to 5 people. If your group is bigger than the maximum occupancy you will need to book an additional plot. The option to book adjacent plots is available on your booking form.

Please note, the number of people per plot can not be changed after booking. Please ensure you have submitted the correct number of people at the point of booking.

Yes! You can book up to 4x guaranteed plots!

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.

No, you will need to bring your own battery packs and battery powered lights. There will be a large phone charging station on-site with secure lockers at an additional cost.

You can book up to 4 plots. Our booking platform is designed so that you can book adjacent plots to be next to friends and family. Please get in touch on info@holtfarm.co.uk for adjacent plot requests, with your friends and family name and booking reference.

You can use your plot however you like, but your tent and guy ropes must not extend outside the plot perimeter.

There is no additional room available so tents that do not fit in the space provided will not be allowed. For tents larger than 3m x 3m please book a 5 x 5m plot. For tents larger than 5 x 5m you will need to book a second plot.

Please note, gazebos are not permitted.

Holt Farm is a camp for tents only. Caravans, motorhomes, campervans and/or trailers will not be permitted access.

Yes, when you fill in your booking form please make a note that you would like your plot to be located in the family area.

Once bookings for Holt Farm have closed, the allocation of camping fields will be decided according to numbers booked per area – General, Quiet and/or Family – and facilities shared in plentiful supply. You’ll only ever have a short walk – your steps can be saved for dancing!

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.

Facilities

Yes, there are plenty of clean loos and hot showers (above the standard recommendations) open 24hrs exclusively for all Holt Farm guests, with a cleaning crew working around the clock. But as with any campsite we would recommend avoiding peak times.
