There’s nothing quite like the experience of attending a weekend music festival with friends. There’s something very special about watching some of your favourite bands lighting up the main stage in an outdoor environment, while discovering a few new artists is always a blast. While many festivals around the world are blessed with glorious, golden sunshine, many in Europe can be blighted by rain and stormy conditions - and that leads to the terrifying prospect of a mud bath.
I remember attending Download in the UK a few years ago and being completely covered in mud on the Friday night - and I had to face up to the prospect of another two full days of mud-caked misery. Thankfully, I had a few items with me to ease me through..
. but it still wasn't enough. With those motley memories to the fore, I’ve put together this list of camping essentials that'll make your festival experience much more enjoyable - no matter the weather.
Hopefully, your festival weekend won't be ruined by a downpour, but just in case of stormy weather, packing an easy to store poncho is a pretty good idea. This item by Solognac folds into its own pocket making it lovely and compact, and it'll cover your legs down to your Wellie tops and protect your arms from rain..
. or a beer shower. We hope you'll never need to use this, but having a small first-aid kit in your festival backpack is never a bad idea.
This kit by Reliance features bandages, waterproof plasters, cleaning wipes, a large HSE dr.
