Queues at Glastonbury Festival taps as people 'wash hair for 30 minutes'

Day two at Glastonbury is now in full swing as festival-goers prepare for another fun-filled day of events. And while a morning wash after last night's revelry is a given, spending 30 minutes washing your hair while a long queue of people wait to take your place is sure way to annoy fellow punters.

For one festival-goer who took to social media to air their frustrations, a short time spent sprucing up is all that is needed at a five-day event. @markwinnie tweeted this morning: "People standing at the sink for half an hour washing their hair and brushing their teeth - fill your thing with water and DO IT SOMEWHERE ELSE THERE IS A MASSIVE F***G QUEUE.

"Peace and love, peace and love." Bristol Live's reporters on site said as of 9.30am, campers were queuing to use the water taps due to the hot weather.

Glastonbury's website advises: "All water across Glastonbury Festival is from our mains water supply from Bristol Water, and is the same quality as your tap water at home. We are encouraging all Festival-goers to use a reusable water bottle and refill it at any of the hundreds of free water taps and 37 WaterAid kiosks across 33 locations around the Glastonbury site.

"We have 850 water points at the and since 2022 have installed a further 20 six-tap water refill stations to make access to water even easier. We regularly sample and test our water to ensure a safe, clean supply."

As for the shower facilities, it adds: "Due to the enormous demands on our water supply, Glastonbury is not able to offer large numbers of public showers. For those desperate for a shower, there are a small number of showers available at the bottom of the Kidzfield and in the Greenpeace field, but you should expect to queue for a while to use them.

"Otherwise, we’d just recommend packing a wash cloth and a bar of soap for a good ol’ fashioned stripwash and making do – it’s the true Glastonbury way!"

The Met Office forecast predicts temperatures at Glastonbury will reach 24C by 3pm today, and as of 11am there is no rain forecast despite a yellow thunderstorm warning being issued. There were some ominous grey clouds over the campsite this morning and conditions felt muggy, but so far the rain has held off.
