Lower Mead
Located near Woodsies (formerly John Peel Stage) and San Remo (which replaced The Beat Hotel in 2022), Lower Mead is a great option if you like to discover new up-and-coming bands and party till the early hours of the morning. It is also only a short walking distance from Pedestrian Gate A, which is always a plus.
With Silver Hayes (to the south) and the Pyramid Stage (to the south-east), Lower Mead is known for the energy in and around it, which in turn, accommodates many of Glasto’s revellers, and thus, a suspect to filling up quite quickly.
Since opening a small cocktail bar at Glastonbury in 2011, and up until its final year in 2019, The Beat Hotel (which was located at the bottom of this field) was one of the Festival’s most popular venues, until 2022 when it was replaced by a new venue called San Remo — which is created by the same team and perfectly fits the lively, late-night atmosphere of the area.
If possible, access this campsite via Pedestrian Gate A, which is the quickest way to arrive at this field.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great if you’re for discovering new up-and-coming bands, as Woodsies is at your feet.
Close to Silver Hayes and San Remo.
A relatively short walk from Pedestrian Gate A.
Cons
Due to its proximity to the main access road leading into the site, this area endures almost 24-hour traffic – you can imagine the noise.
Woodsies is one of the most visited stages at the Festival and as such attracts a hefty crowd which might end up close to your campsite.
Shangri-La has never been so far.
