It\u2019s no secret that a fair amount of the UK population enjoys a good old festival. Some of the biggest festivals like Download, Glastonbury, and Wireless attract hundreds of thousands of spectators each year. With huge amounts of people in one place and a lot of travelling needed to get there, it is important to prepare appropriately. This is where our festival survival guide comes in! We have put together some top tips to help you get the most out of your festival experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

1) Think Carefully About Your Tent Size<\/span><\/h2>\n

Size matters for many things in life and tents are no exception. Don\u2019t just consider the number of people that are going to be staying in the tent. For example, if you\u2019re going to a festival and you\u2019ll be staying in a tent with one friend you may think that a 2-person tent will suffice, but it won\u2019t. You need to ensure you cater for everything else that you\u2019re taking with you, including luggage, clothes, and food. It is far better to have more space than you need than being too crowded.<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Before You Leave, Make A Checklist<\/span><\/h2>\n

Clothes, check. Food, check. Water, check. Checklists are an important part of life no matter what you\u2019re doing or where you\u2019re going and that\u2019s why they made it into our festival survival guide. We recommend that before you pack and leave for your festival, take a moment to sit down and put a list together of all your essentials. Then tick them off as you\u2019re packing. This way you\u2019re far less likely to forget something!<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Don\u2019t Just Pack Summer Clothes<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the biggest mistakes people make when attending festivals is that they just pack clothes based on the weather forecast. This is a huge mistake! How many times have you watched the weather on TV or read on the internet that it\u2019s going to be a glorious day and it ends up being a washout? I know I can count far too many! The British weather is predictably unpredictable. To compensate, ensure you pack waterproof clothing, adequate footwear and something to keep you warm if things take a turn for the chillier.<\/span><\/p>\n

4) If You\u2019re Driving, Consider Your Vehicle<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you have been handpicked by your friends as the lucky one who gets to drive to the festival then don\u2019t just ignore your vehicle. Think about the scuff marks, scratches and wear and tear that could be caused by just this one trip! If there are going to be a lot of passengers getting in and out then your door sills are likely to get marked up. Also, many festivals end up being mud baths so dirt could also be cause for concern. However, this is where Travall has got you covered!
