If you’re lucky enough to be heading
to one of the many festivals
around the UK this year, it’s important to pack in advance to prepare for the
inevitable mounds of mud brought on by the bleak British weather! From camping
equipment to wardrobe choices, we here at Studio have come up with the ultimate
itinerary to help you survive British festival season - rain or shine!

Wellies
Wellies
are at the top of your festival checklist, responsible for keeping your feet
warm and dry no matter how deep the puddles of mud get. Whether your budget is
big or small, we have a pair of wellington boots to suit you.
Waterproof Rain
Coat
In
standard British fashion, expect the heavens to open at one point or another on
your festival trip. If you want to make sure you’re prepared for a spell of
summer showers, bring a raincoat along to protect yourself from getting soggy
in the rain.
Other festival clothing essentials include:
- Thick jumpers to stay warm at night
- Light t-shirts in case it’s sunnier than expected
- Loads of outfit changes for when the rain ruins what you’re wearing
- Plenty of spare socks and underwear to keep yourself feeling clean
- Sun protection such as sunglasses and hats
- A comfy and secure backpack to keep your valuables safe

Camping
Equipment
Tent
A tent is going to be
your home away from home for a few days, giving you an element of personal
space to crash and sleep off your cider fuelled hangover. At Studio, we have a
huge range of tents available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit your group
to a tee.
Camping Chair
Bringing a camping
chair is a social essential, allowing you to create a space in your campsite to
sit around, chat and chill and if you don’t fancy carting it all the way back
home when you’re feeling worse for wear, you won’t feel like you’ve wasted your
money.
Sleeping Equipment
All that drinking and
dancing is tiring, so when you need to retire to catch up on a few z’s, make
sure you have a comfy nest to crawl into to recharge your batteries. Sleeping
Bags are designed for cold temperatures, keeping you toasty and insulated when
the temperatures drop at night. If you need a few creature comforts to get to
sleep, make sure you bring along an air mattress to add warmth and comfort to
your slumber, and also think about bringing a fluffy throw for added home away
from home vibes.
Trolley
You maybe thinking by
now, ‘how am I going to get all this to the campsite?’ Well, all is not lost,
you won’t have to lug it all around in a rucksack like a welly wearing pack-mule.
Instead, simply buy a festival trolley!
Extras:
- Spare tent pegs
- Camping mallet
- Extra tarpaulin
- Lantern; torch or any other outdoor lightning
Soap and Hygiene
Soaps, lotions and
potions
All of us
have our own daily beauty routines; if you don’t want to give it up while you
live in a field for a few days, remember to bring along a travel set of soap
which includes all your beauty goodies.
Other soapy essentials:
- Baby wipes
- Makeup wipes
- Deodorant, perfume/aftershave
- Dry shampoo
- Air freshener
- Sun cream
- Condoms
- Toilet roll
- Hair brush and bobbles
- Bug spray
Flip Flops/Sliders
If you’re
planning on getting a shower while you’re camping, don’t expect anything
luxurious. Thousands of people will be using the showers over the weekend, so
make sure you avoid the dirt by packing a pair of sandals or flip flops into
your luggage.
Swimwear
Obviously, a
festival isn’t a holiday, and sadly there’s no relaxing swimming pool or
jacuzzi, but it’s best to pack a swimsuit if you’re planning on getting a
shower, just in case! Try a tankini to keep yourself covered with no
restrictions for washing, or just simply swim shorts for men.
Food/Snacks
Stove
To avoid the
costs of food on site, take along loads of tinned food such a beans or soup so
you can cook it on your very own portable gas stove - remember to pack extras
as well, a pan and a tin opener are crucial!
Snacks
Packing a few
snacks is important for keeping your energy up, so make sure to take along a
few treats like biscuits, bread, cakes or breakfast bars - pack them in a food
protector container to make sure they stay fresh and away from bugs!
Alcohol
Last
but not least, pack as much alcohol as you can carry! Booze is undoubtedly one
of the most important ingredients of a successful festival, so make sure you
don’t get stung by the sky high prices of beer on site. However, keep in mind
that you’re not allowed glass bottles on site, so empty your spirits into
plastic bottles before you leave and opt for cans of beer and cider instead.
