Swapping the pyramid for punch and mud for mojitos, the takeaway festival experience is ready for delivery. With a masters in events management by no way requirement, to host your own Glastonbury envied garden party is a worthwhile alternative, considering tickets sell out like gold dust. Possibly without the simulation of certain Glastonbury experiences, such as driving an hour away from your house and then carrying the weight of your fridge and wardrobe on your back all the way home to symbolise the car to campsite test, this guide shows how to bring Glastonbury to you.
With the odd transcendental experience going with the territory over at Glastonbury, a replica garden party will have to be innovative, open minded and deeply creative when it comes to construction and delivery. From only washing with wet wipes to wearing wellies at all times, this great British tribal tradition of ‘the festival’ is really quite unique, from atmosphere to apparatus needed. However the most crucial of instruments to any festivals success, is the revellers that attend. Bound in a constant state of spirit and exhilaration, these are the guests that will ensure above all else, that the pimms does not run out and that the playlist is diverse and well equipped for the mood. Ingrained in the festival codes, it wouldn’t be a replica Glastonbury garden party true to standard unless hordes of these people gathered around you. Loving a queuing and a crowd, through heritage we are more than happy to do this. When arranging your revellers, it is advised that they are put into categories to ensure swift organisation of who is bringing what and when. Any festival holds a smooth and suave operation behind the scenes, even if on the surface this is not the case. Begin by organising a team for drinks, a team for food and teams for music and activities retrospectively.
