Festival organisers in the UK try their best, but one thing they simply cannot control is the weather. They mostly choose dates in the summer, but sometimes Mother Nature just doesn’t play ball. It either constantly rains, turning entire fields and everyone on them into a muddy mess, or it is so hot that people burn, dehydrate, and choke on dust clouds. Often both of these things happen.
Depending on what you pack, freak festival weather can either be part of the fun or an absolute nightmare. So it pays to get it right before you go. Sure, you’ll want to follow the latest fashion there, but you’ll be glad that you didn’t forget these practical pieces when the time comes.
- A raincoat – You’d be surprised how many people forget this essential item. It can be very tempting to do so when the weather forecast is good. They also forget that if the festival outfits FR they’ve spent hours choosing, get soaked, they’re not going to look good and are probably not going to have dried out again by the time you leave. Keep them dry and you might get another chance to wear them out if the festival is a few days long.
- A warm jacket – Even in the summer, evenings can get chilly. This is especially the case when the music’s over for the day and you leave the hot, sweaty crowd to go back to your tent. Bring a comfy and cosy layer to throw on in the evening. This can be both stylish and functional.
- Wellington boots – They’re hardly high fashion, but they are a festival staple and for good reason. Not only will they keep you dry almost up to your knees, but when a deep patch of wet mud snatches one off of your feet, they’re easy to retrieve. The same cannot be said for trainers or sandals. Cowboy boots have become popular at festivals recently and offer similar benefits.
- Pyjamas – These are easily overlooked when packing for a festival, but they are no less essential. Having clean, dry clothes to change into is not only more hygienic, it will help you sleep better and give you more energy to enjoy the next day. Even soldiers are taught to keep a set of dry clothes aside to wear while sleeping.
- Sweatshirt or hoodie – Always a good idea to bring at least one versatile warm layer. You can use it on chilly evenings, or wear it as an extra layer if you’re cold in your sleeping bag.
General Do’s And Don’Ts
Those 5 items make sure you are covered when it comes to staying warm, dry, and getting a good night’s sleep. Any other clothes you bring are up to you, but there are some helpful guidelines you should follow.
- Do choose light, breathable fabrics. Even if there isn’t much sun, big crowds create a lot of heat.
- Do bring at least one colourful or unusual piece of clothing or an accessory. This can help your friends find you in a crowd.
- Don’t wear heavy materials like suede, or thick ones like fur. They’re too stifling and hot.
One more thing, don’t wear heels. You will want to dance!
