Festival season is in the air and on our minds. Muddy ankles, massive smiles. Best friends, big sounds. Sonic haze, shoulder rides. There’s nothing quite like it. You’ve won the ticket race and rounded up your pals. Maybe you’ve trawled the lineup? Decided your absolute must-sees.
We’ve put together a handy festival packing checklist – with some of our camping essentials. A bumper list of our non-negotiables, that you simply can’t do without. And some nice-to-haves too.
Thank us later.
→ Only pack as much as you can carry.
There’s no task worse than hiking from the car to the campsite, weighed down by everything and the kitchen sink.
→ Share the load.
Going with mates? Divide and conquer. Spread the responsibility for bringing different things. Bonus points for borrowing not buying – where you can.
→ Leave no trace.

☑️ YOUR TICKET
This one goes without saying.
☑️ ID
Our tip? Don’t leave it in your tent – in case of unfortunate flooding.
☑️ WELLIES
For when it (inevitably) rains.*
☑️ A GOOD TENT
Bonus points if it’s double layer – to keep you and your stuff cool and dry.
☑️ A POWER BANK
To keep you tracking everyone on “Find My Friends.”
☑️ SUNCREAM
Doesn’t even matter if it’s that old crumpled thing. All the same in a downpour.

Doesn’t even matter if it’s that old crumpled thing. All the same in a downpour.
☑️ SLEEPING BAG, ROLL MAT/AIRBED
The comfier, the better.
☑️ LOO ROLL
You don’t need us to remind you why, do you?
☑️ PLENTY (AND PLENTY) OF SNACKS
Great for keeping energy up. And staying on budget. Cereal bars, porridge pots, crisps, tangerines (trust us).
☑️ TOILETRIES
Whether you’ve pre-booked those VIP showers. Or you’re planning DIY-ing it. At least remember your toothbrush.
☑️ BIN BAGS
Leave no trace.
☑️ EAR PLUGS
Lest your neighbours are super night owls. Or super early risers.
☑️ EXTRA SOCKS
Ah, the warmth and comfort of a fresh pair after a dance marathon.
☑️ BUM BAG
Stay light and flutter about without. Avoid the backpack crowd paranoia.
Bonus points if it’s our MOTH x Stubble & Co Cooler Bag. This one keeps drinks cold for up to 5 hours. Beat the long bar queues. Spend more time dancing. Check it out here.
☑️ REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE
Practical and planet-friendly.
☑️ INFLATABLE PILLOW
You bet that you’ll be jealous of your mates’ one if you don’t.
☑️ EXTRA TENT PEGS
Why are there always less in there than you remember?
☑️ FEATHER BOA
Yes, it might leave feathers everywhere. But what a timeless, fabulous crowd-pleaser.
☑️ COWBOY HAT
Instant new character unlock. Just beware of friendly thieves eying it up.
☑️ BIODEGRADABLE GLITTER
Because it is possible to be a human disco ball without costing the planet.
☑️ REFILLABLE WATER BOTTLE
Make yours the coolest tent in the crowd.
We just have to. Perfectly portable. And light as butterflies to carry – so you can dance like one. Deliciously ready-to-go wherever. Styles with cowboy hats. Goes with hot salty chips and ice cream. And your summer smile. Stock up on our festival paves here. Or build out a party pack on-the-go at your local supermarket. Click here to find your nearest.
PS: The front of your Wellington boot holds a MOTH can surprisingly well.
