10 Festival Essentials to Pack Away

Flips Flops or Rain Boots?

Before deciding what to bring with you to a festival, it’s usually a good idea to check the weather forecast.  Our expectations might not be that great, given the history of the “Great British Summertime”, but we can always bring our flip-flops in hope of a bit of sunshine!

The MET Office have posted their event weather forecast for Glastonbury 2014, and the bad news is that Friday and Saturday are not looking that great, with a mixture of light rain and heavy showers.  Hopefully, it’ll not be as bad as the 2009 Glastonbury Festival where we saw torrential downpours accompanied by Thunderstorms, but it would be well worth being prepared (see point 8!) for what the weather brings.  

The Good News is that we’re offering a special festival 15% OFF on our website with the coupon code:
