Keeping dry is the key. Make sure it has a sewn in waterproof ground sheet and room to store you belongings.

How are you going to move your equipment around? You might have to walk a long way so think of investing in a trolley.

Have a chair to sit and relax in. These are so simple but so comfortable to sit around in the sunshine or in the evenings with friends.

You need something to sleep. Sleeping bags need to cater for it being hot or cold and rainy. Sleeping bags are rated for summer to winter use

Roll mats offer you insulation from the cold and damp ground and a great investment. Adds a little comfort to your camping experience.

You need a place where you can keep you clothes dry and easily move around.

Most festivals now allow you to fill your water bottle rather than buying water which produced huge amounts of plastic waste.

Need we say more… Essential never to be forgotten

Walking around at night head torches offer a great walk for you to see in front of you without having to hold a torch in your hand.

Always have spares to put in torch but also think about a power pack for charging your phone.

A little luxury. The pack down to a tiny size but will make sleeping a little better.

Plan what you plan on eating and stock up. You can get dehydrated food which you just add boiling water.

Boiling a kettle for a cup of tea or even cooking a fry up these are a simple and fairly cheap piece of cooking equipment.

Remember extra fuel

Lighting a stove. You can also get refillable long tip fire lighters

Pots, pans, frying pan and kettle. Spatulas, tongs and oven gloves. Base this on what you plans are for cooking.

Keep food from going off or the beer cold.

Plates, bowls and knives and forks

Check to see if BBQs are allowed. Think of BBQ safety

Collapsible bowls are great way to save space

For washing up and wiping up spills

Wellies are a festival essential especially in the UK. Mud, mud glorious mud.
Dont forget long socks to go underneath or get some nasty blisters around the top of the wellies

Flat shoes (trainers) to be able to walk around it and transport equipment to your camping area.

Dry yourself from rain or after a shower. They are also be great for extra warmth if the temperatures drop.

Cater for rain, rain and more rain.

Temperatures can vary. You are likely to need a jumper in the evenings even if been sunny all day.

Who can service without a phone. Think of ways to charge the battery. Power pack, solar etc

Clothes for all weathers

Festivals are never the same without dressing up. Plan your costume.

Protect your skin from the sun

It will be noisy until late into the night. If you are likely to want to go to sleep before the music and partying stops then consider these.

Energy might drop or you get the munchies. Pack lots of snacks and energy food.

Pegs are great for so many things. Hanging up wet clothes to dry and even a tent repair.

Accidents happen and ducktape can be a great item to repair a great big hole in a tent.

OK yet another essential even if you think you won’t need them. Be prepared!

Smelly, wet washing yuk. Keep it away from dry and clean clothes by popping it into it own bag.
