- Hey everyone! Festival season is fully upon us and this is my ultimate guide to the essential items you need. These are nonnegotiable ha ha and definitely need to be in your bag. I didn’t mention hand sanitiser as a feel post Covid I won’t insult your common sense😂
I’ve left links down below for each item to give examples of. Obviously you may find them cheaper in your local sports shop, camping shop or even your local supermarket.
I hope you like this video, if you are going to any of the UK festivals this year I hope you have the most amazing time. If you need any questions for festivals abroad dont hesitate please comment down below as I have also attended festivals outside of the UK.
ITEMS TO BUY

amzn.eu/d/haMJFiD
amzn.eu/d/0r7cK5D - cheaper at your local H&B but you also need these around the camp site for your waste
amzn.eu/d/7ydrWXs
amzn.eu/d/7naa4Ow - I’ve owned this one and it’s great. I understand if it’s far too expensive but it works and is so easy to put it up
amzn.eu/d/4uRBD5r - cheaper in places like H&B
amzn.eu/d/b0qPFop - don’t spend loads on this. Again probably cheaper somewhere else but this is an example
amzn.eu/d/0McePDF - can definitely get cheaper else where
amzn.eu/d/i2Bd3Kj - this is similar to mine but mine is more quilt like. This is the best for those of you who feel clostrophic in normal ones. A quilt however is so much cheaper.

Festivals, Bring me the horizon and pole fitness … 👏👏👏
"take the friggin' airbaed" - you are a star!! :D
Going to my first festival in may and watched so many videos. This is the only helpful one I have come across! Thank you 🎉
Aww so glad it’s helped!! I’m going to do more this month for anything I’ve missed and some budgeting ideas and stuff so keep an eye out 🖤🖤🖤
So much useful information here!
As a bit of a Festival veteran myself, I can share some of my experiences:
Bin bags are good. Waterproof stuff sacks (Ortlieb for instance) are better - the do not tear as easily. And they are absolutely water- and airtight. Electronics go in a little Peli case that is equally watertight. At night, that goes with me in my sleeping bag towards the bottom part below my feet. Airbeds are a huge no-no for me. Not only are they bulky and heavy, I also find them insanely uncomfortable, noisy when you turn over and all the rest of it. Also not a big fan of pumping. But that is just personal preference. I would probably also be fine with a slab of rock with a bit of moss on it. A thin thermarest self-inflating sleeping pad is plenty enough for me. For seats - I cannot say enough good things about Helinox chairs. I am by no means a Slim Jim and those take my weight fine. Also, a folding table with an aluminium top - they cost less than 50 quid. Nothing worse that having to balance your cooking and your food on your knees or on the ground in the morning. Deffo doable, but if I can help it, a table is the way to go.
I travel with a big hiking pack and always managed to get everything in. Including the (foldable) kitchen sink. Foodwise I pack noodles, rice, and everything I need for porridge. And coffee, obviously. Nobody wants to deal with me in the morning unless I have had my coffee. Everything else I can usually get some place locally. My very first festival I brought a bunch of tins. Yeah, not doing that again.
Good hoodie and a wooly hat - that is probably one of the most important pieces of advice in this entire video. I also recommend taking a bandanna or one of those "Buff" fabric tube things. If you can, use merino wool wherever you can. Expensive, yes - but worth every penny. Best of all: it is not scratchy and will not become smelly even after days of wearing. If they do become grimy: Rinse them in lukewarm water and wash them with a bit of shampoo and they are good as new. I counted my blessings that I had those things that one year where temps at night plummeted to near freezing towards the end of May. I bundled up in all the clothes I had (including my hoodie and hat) and was OK. Not great, but OK. Fixing myself some hot tea and a bit of soup before going to bed I think genuinely helped.
Others on the camp ground had an absolutely horrible night. Many looked so utterly miserable in the morning. A couple of people actually broke down their tents that morning and left. I was genuinely amused though when the first people from the hotel arrived. On one hand they pitied us campers ("Look at those poor bastards!"), on the other hand they shook their heads and admitted that camping was too hard core for them. Oh, and earplugs. Definitely do bring earplugs. They come in handy at night when the neighbours are partying all night as well as during concerts.
Ahh fab!! I have another video coming soon with pretty much everything youve wrote and some more haha you sound like an experienced hiker never mind an experienced festival goer! It’s fab info x
I didn't think I would find such a new and helpful comment on older video. Thanks for these tips!!
Wow you've invested a lot in your gear - I hope it serves you well for years!
Thank you so much - this is honest, realistic & really helpful. Looking forward to my first festival at 50+ 😊
Have the BEST time! Glad I could help! Where are you going? X
@@kembows Thank you - Latitude, so looking forward to it x
I am 25, turing 26 a month after glass 2024 and this year I am investing in a roll matt to go underneath my sleeping mat lol, my back needs it
♌️
Take an air bed or those beds that fold out. Honestly mats just don’t cut it after 25 haha I’ve only ever not took one once and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone haha. 🤣
@@kembows I have one where you pump it up with your foot, but I need more padding lol
Oooh ok. Yeah get a roll out that should help! Haha my sleep last year was perfect. A battery pump is also the best thing because if you deflate in the middle of the night you can just wack it in really quick. The heat last year I couldn’t have used a foot pump, I’d have been dying haha
My trolley broke last year. I didnt know whether to laugh or cry .
This year ive two big wheelie bins. One for each car. I spray painted them all funky. Ill let you know how it goes !! 😂😂
Oh no! It’s never happened to me (touches wood) but I’d sob if it did!
Hahahaha good luck! Yes defo do
Goodness me. We were washed out of it at Forever Young. But everyone was commenting on how cool our bins were. Even got our photo taken. Delighted with ourselves. We are going to bring them every year. !
Oh gosh I’m going to boomtown for the first time in august and I’m so excited but filled with mad anxiety. I didn’t realise how big it is!
Oh you’ll have the best time!!! It never used to be so big either it was like a secret festival year ago so it’s great it’s got so big now!
Any questions just ask! Don’t be anxious you’ll be fine. My first festival at 16 we didn’t have a clue and I swear to god how we got there and back is beyond me haha. I wish I’d had videos like mine back then, that’s why I make them because I would have given my left leg 🤣
I have another one coming with some newer stuff etc soon 🖤🖤
very helpful, ty
Extremely helpful and unusual tips in this video! Thanks so much for doing this.
Glad I could help. Just got home from download - newest essential slippers for around the tent. The confident and fluffiest you can find. They feel amazing after a long day of walking x
@@kembows ace! Did you do a packing video? I'm going camping in Ireland this weekend for Beyond the Pale festival. We're driving and then getting ferry. Really struggling to narrow down outfits but feel like I need my whole wardrobe for all eventualities!
Thanks so much for this. I’ve done a festival before but I was 17 at the time and with 3 friends. Very different experience coming up for me as a 24 year old..! It sounds like you’ve experienced everything at festivals!
You’re welcome! Where is your next one? Yeahhh honestly I actually think I have - I’ve been to so many and all different types so you pick up so much. It’s crazy aswell because I didn’t have a clue at my first one when I was 16 🤣 I literally went with next to nothing haha I’m going to do more festival tips and tricks because even after this I was like “oh I forgot that” just so many things you pick up 🤣🤣 xxx
Yes definitely bed socks change into lounge wear has pj
Yeah you got to get those bed socks! The pjs/lounge wear is the ultimate comfort especially after all the walking
I watched this strictly because of the accent 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 I’d like to think you still left with some new tips for festivals haha
@@kembows definitely! Very helpful, I’m going to EDC in May
another about valuables get some padlocks and paadlock your doors zips together ..worked many times for us
I really don’t recommend this as they will just rip your tent open if they want to get in and then you have more damage to deal with. If anything padlocks makes it look like you have stuff to rob and causes them to aim for your tent. If it works for you though perfect 😊 I just wouldn’t recommend xxx
This was so helpful! Would you advise taking a jacket to glasto as well as a rain coat? I’m worried about being cold!
Yeah lovely take a jacket or hoodie if you are worried. It’s all about layers so you can always wear a hoodie and a jacket on top 😊
It’s FREEZING at night at Glasto, take more than you think you need. Take a really warm jumper for evenings
Hi lovely, any tips on how to get the actual tickets I’m hoping to go next year it’s my first time. Xx
Is that for glasto? There is no easy trick I’m afraid. I haven’t been able to get one since 2017. It’s a golden ticket basically. I know people who’ve said it was easier to get tickets out of the country 🤣but other than that it’s luck of the draw unfortunately. Obv have the usual strategy of as many people trying as possible and everyone who is trying having their registration numbers so once through there is no time wasting but that’s it lovely xx
This is fucking fab thank you so much!!
Glad I could be of help 🖤🖤🖤
16+15 ... YOU'RE 31!! i thought you were about 23 omg
I am - Ahhhh I wish! 😭 my back is definitely 31 🤣🤣 thank you though best comment award definitely goes to you 🖤🖤🖤
