An umbrella at a festival can be handy for rainy days (and nights) but can also double up as a parasol. Being in the sun all day is lovely but there comes a point when you can not take any more, and some festivals have more shade than others.
Any festival, Glastonbury Festival
If you are going to get a new tent for Glastonbury festival season, I would recommend getting one with a porch. This extra room will give you a place to shed all your muddy gear, so you can crawl into a lovely dry nest when it's finally time to sleep.
Glastonbury Festival, or any festival.
Everyone knows wellies are essential, but your toes will be freezing come night time. You can never bring too many socks and finding a clean pair at the end of the weekend will feel better than you could imagine, honest!
Glastonbury festival or any festival.
