To think we CAN actually do Glastonbury?

Glastonbury tickets on sale soon

I'm a single mum to 2 dc, one is autistic, one neurotypical, 8 and 9

I assumed it was something for the future, but actually, the tickets are £400 each for the weekend, i might be able to go as autistic dc's carer, costing me £800. And I can pay £100 as a deposit

I can stay at a hotel with dc and then drive us all in. I would meet friends who have kids.

Is the drive in difficult, does anyone know? I would rent a traveloge or similar 20 miles away.

Can we do this?

The drive from anywhere to Glastonbury isn't starightforward - did it today and you do feel as if your driving round in circles. The roads are lanes really so I imagine the traffic will be horrendous - in and out on a daily basis. That said - it would be an amazing thing to do if your kids are up for the driving

Nobody knows where you're driving from?
I would say that it's possible you could do it with a 20 mile drive there and back every day but it won't be much fun. You'll have to leave when the kids have had enough and with an autistic child that could be any time in the day surely?
It's a lot of money for what might be a difficult and/or boring experience. I would recommend you do camp bestival instead and hire a bell tent - much nicer, smaller, safer and more family friendly.
