Festival Essentials: Everything You Need This Summer!

Festival Essentials

If you’re planning on going to a festival this summer, you will want to make sure you have everything you need for a comfortable and catastrophe-free weekend. There’s nothing worse than arriving bleary-eyed at the campsite and realising you’ve only brought one pair of socks or forgotten your rain coat.

That’s why, at My Printed Clothing we have decided to make a list of our top festival essentials so that you can ensure you have everything you need to survive a weekend of festivities!

Hat

Hats are not only a stylish accessory to enhance your festival outfit, but they also provide excellent sun and rain protection - which is particularly useful when it comes to the unpredictable nature of festival weather! Whether you fancy a classic style like our Beechfield Festival Trilby or an iconic British style like our Beechfield Vintage Bucket Hat, the choice is yours!

Cover your 4-day old festival hair and help your friends spot you in the crowd with a fun and stylish festival hat!

 

Bum Bag

Bum bags, also known as fanny packs or belt bags, are a popular choice for festivals as they offer hand-free convenience, allowing festival goers to party and dance the night away while knowing their essential items are close by. Bum bags are also a popular choice for festivals as they fit the bag size restrictions that many events have in place.

Our BagBase Belt Bag comes in a wide variety of different colours, so you can even match your bag to your festival outfits!

 

Backpack

Backpacks are also good for festivals as they allow you to carry essential items hands-free, with a little extra room compared to a bum bag. Our Westford Mill Organic Festival Backpack is a particularly good backpack to put on your festival list as it has an 8 litre capacity and drawcord closure.

 

Hi-Vis

Although hi-visibility clothing is sometimes worn just for fun by festival goers, hi-vis clothing is particularly beneficial for festival staff, security and emergency personnel as it allows them to be quickly identified in crowded areas. We stock a wide range of hi-vis clothing at My Printed Clothing including hi vis bagshatsvests and more!

 

Rain Coat

You can never trust festival weather, one minute is blazing sunshine and the next you’re soaked to the bone! That’s why having a light, easy-to-pack rain coat is essential for festival season. Our Result Core Ladies Soft Shell Jacket is great option as it can be folded up small but is also thick enough to keep you dry and warm.

 

Blanket

Another key item to put on your festival pack list is a good quality blanket. Our SOL’s Stavenger Plaid Fleece Blanket is great as it’s compact and easy to travel with thanks to its nylon carry handle. Blankets are great for festivals as they not only keep you warm but also help to define your personal space in a crowded tent!

 

Headtorch

Headtorches come in extremely useful after dark at festivals. No more wasting your phone charge looking out for tent ropes or searching for your extra layers, with a headtorch like our LED Head Light or light clips like our USB Rechargeable Light Clip, you can keep your hands free and safely navigate the festival and campsite at night when visibility is low.

With these essential festival items, you should be well on your way to finishing packing for your upcoming weekend away!
