Festival season is upon us, and to help make sure you have everything you need I have created the ultimate festival checklist.
With budget-friendly purchases and offers, from tents to water bottles, this checklist has everything you need to take to have the best festival experience.
Tent
For those three-day festivals a tent will be an essential, especially if the rain continues. You will need one for yourself or most likely for you and a friend, one that is comfortable, sturdy and ideally water proof.

Portable phone charger
If you’re taking pictures and videos but ultimately maintaining your Instagram game, a portable charger is a must.
Even if you are able to charge your phone, it’s always useful to carry a portable charger in case your phone abruptly dies, and you get separated from your friends.

Wellies
With the lack of sunshine and increasing chance of rain and mud at festivals, wellies might be a good idea. There’s nothing worse than bringing new or nice shoes to a festival and having them get completely trashed when it rains.
Dunlop wellington boots – Outdoorgear £11.95
Available in black and green
Comfortable and sturdy

Hand sanitiser
From being in the mud and grass all day to using Porta Porties, festivals don’t always scream hygiene. But to take extra caution I suggest carrying a small hand sanitiser with you everywhere.
Pink Grapefruit Hand Cleanse Gel – The Body Shop £2.50
Fast absorbing
Small to carry and long lasting

Reusable water bottle
The walking, singing and dancing, means a festival can often be a work out in itself.
Don’t forget to keep hydrated and remember to bring a reusable water bottle to fill up on site, instead of constantly buying plastic water bottles.
