Site developments for 2011

This year there are a handful of changes to the marquees on site

Marquee 2 will be replaced by a new larger Clearspan marquee with increased capacity, providing a much more comfortable space with better sight lines.

Sabrina will be replaced with a scaled down version of our marquee two, blue and yellow tent; again this will be made more comfortable providing more space for workshops and acoustic performances.

Dance Tent will be a new larger, better quality tent with extra seating. There will also be a new dance floor covering the whole floor space at 1000sq mtrs (25m x 40m).

Children’s Marquee will be almost twice the size of last year’s tent, again to give more capacity and make sure kids have even more fun.

The whole idea behind the marquees with extra capacity is to reduce the need for “House Full” signs going up.

Screens the two large screens remain in the main marquee, but over the past couple of years we've noticed many people love to sit on the grass outside the marquee and listen. We're going to install a huge screen here so you can still sit outside the marquee and not miss a thing (you can see the screen in action here)

Great idea.

Would also be good if the stewards at the smaller tents would remove side/rear panels if its full ( and weather not too bad)

This is done at Glasto on the Avalon, Acoustic and Croissant Neuf stages, and it eases the crowding there.

Only takes stewards a couple of minutes and is easily reversed.
