To make sure you have all the things you’ll require, we’ve put together the ultimate list of essential festival items. From glitter to gazebos We’ve thought of everything that can be useful in this stacked festival packing guide…

It’s the Daytime Essentials…

Tickets

First things first – tickets. While they’re the primary festival requirement, these small pieces of paper can be difficult to remember. Before you leave, ensure that your tickets are all stored securely and that they are easily accessible at the entry point. After all, no one likes a queue-holder-upper!

ID

If you’re lucky enough have a lower age than 25, be sure to have your ID. In the absence of it, you’ll not be able serve you alcohol that means that you’ll not be able to enjoy our tasty drinks and local beers. Devastating, right? !

Waterproof Jacket

We’re all aware that British weather can be extremely unpredictable, so make sure you are prepared. To ensure that a drizzle won’t deter you from enjoying our star-studded lineup, make sure you have an easy-to-wear, waterproof coat in the bag. It’s also useful as the weather becomes more chilly during the night.

Practical or wellies

Our fields are often wet when it rains, so make sure to bring some good shoes in case it’s getting a little gray. If you’re in the sun, it’s essential to pick footwear that is comfy and practical since you’ll be walking all day. They must be suitable to dance in, as our amazing music line-up is bound to make it impossible to not throw patterns!

Daytime Bag

Keep in mind that whatever bag you take that you’ll be carrying all day long, taking in a lot of shows and walking through huge crowds and taking part in many things. Therefore, don’t bring an enormous bag that contains all the things you need, minus that kitchen sink. Belt bags are among the most essential festival necessities because they’re hands-free and comfortable. If you think they’re a bit small A backpack that is light is also a good option. Be sure to only carry what you will require.

Funky Outfit

Okay, so this may not be essential, but it’s fun, and we’re including it on this list. Costumes for festivals are renowned for their fun and unique style So don’t be scared to allow your hair to fall and dress up in something a bit crazy. It doesn’t matter if it’s a glimmer of glitter or a full-on fancy dress costumes We want Corbridge Fest attendees to wear whatever feels fabulous. Be sure to wear something that is comfortable and, of course!

Sun Protection

Sun Remember that? You’re right it still makes an appearance and is particularly likely to happen during the last weekend in June. To shield yourself from those UV rays, be sure to bring essentials such as Sun cream, glasses, and the sun hat. If it’s in the warmer part of the day we suggest wearing cool layers so that you can cool down and heat down at your leisure.

Camping Chair

It’s a long hall, so make sure you have the camping chairs. Rugs for picnics are wonderful however when you have families parked in front of you, with chairs for camping it’s difficult to observe the stage. If you’re not able to beat them, join them! Beware, you’ll have to pack them away (or relocate them) in the last couple of shows since the majority of dancers will be moving and shaking to beats.

Wet Wipes

Another tip to ease the showering-in-the-house situation is to carry plenty in wet towels (preferably ones that are biodegradable). If you do decide to make use of our shower facilities on site wiping wipes will ensure that you are ready for any spills that can be expected at a festival like mud splashes or drips. This is especially useful for parents who have their children with the chance of getting covered with ice cream or makeup.
It’s the Camping Essentials…

The Perfect Sized Tent

Let’s start with the obvious that you’ll require an outdoor tent. If you’re camping by yourself or with a couple Don’t fall for an all-man or two-man tent. You’ll be left with little room to stand (which makes getting dressed an issue) and there’s no space to accommodate you and your possessions. But, if the tent is too large, it will be difficult to transport from the car park to the campsite and will take a long time set up. We suggest a four-person tent per couple, as it’s the perfect amount of space to be functional and comfortable.

Air Bed

A peaceful night’s rest on Friday night will make you feel refreshed and ready for the day of fun ahead. This is why it’s a great option to purchase an air mattress that is comfortable, instead of stepping on the floor or a roll mat. We don’t want to feel stiff and tired for the Fun Lovin’ criminals as well as The Futureheads.

Sleeping Bag

It is a good idea to purchase a high quality and well-insulated sleeping bag because a lesser-quality model may make you feel cold. If you’re not keen on spending additional money, or prefer to sleep on your regular duvet, make sure to pack layers!

Pillows

Don’t be a victim of the ‘it’s only one night I’ll lay down in my hoodie that’s rolled up mindset and bring a comfy pillow. If you have an inflatable camp cushion bring it along. If you don’t, a regular mattress pillow can be used.

Large Re-Fillable Water Bottle

The camping areas we have are equipped with drinking water taps in the communal area that are can be used at any time you’re in need. For a less strenuous journey around the campsite, take one large bottle to get you through the day. Many stores offer collapsible camping containers for just around a couple of pounds.

Torch/Lantern

Without a flashlight or torch or a flashlight, evening tasks such as going to the toilet or changing in your PJs can become a challenge. Don’t forget to bring one! It is also recommended to go for a torch that is real instead of using the flashlight on your phone since most tents have an exclusive torch tie that is attached to their ceilings.

Gazebo

This isn’t a must however it could be useful for people camping with large groups. If you set an gazebo on the outside of your camp and your party will be able to have a safe and private space to sit or eat, and talk. Even in the rain you can all gather in the gazebo and enjoy an espresso or breakfast.

Camping Chairs

If you’re not keen on sitting in the grass, it’s a great idea to bring along your own folding chairs. If you’re gathering outside your campsite or watching one of our shows in the afternoon close to the mainstage, a carry-on chair will ensure you’re at ease throughout the day.

Warm Sleepwear

Even when the weather is beautiful and sunny, nighttime temperatures are typically colder than what you’d think of when you go camping. It is recommended to bring plenty of warm layers to snuggle in, such as warm pyjamasor a jumper along with soft socks as well as thermal leggings. It’s better not to over-dress instead of spending the evening shivering!

Spare Socks

Camping can make us wear socks at a rapid pace. Make sure you have plenty of spares on hand to prepare yourself for a cold, wet feet, or even the rubbing of wellies.

Toothbrush and Toothpaste

You can enjoy the outdoors and be able to enjoy gleaming clean gnashes, make sure you bring the toothbrush as well as the size of a travel-sized tub of toothpaste. However, it might be a little difficult to wash your gnashes at night in the darkness before going to going to bed, so you might want to you should bring some mouth mints to use as a backup.

Medication

If you’re too focused about glamorous clothes as well as New York City headliners, essentials like medications can quickly be overlooked. Before you leave make sure that you have any important prescriptions are included!

Dry Shampoo

Dry shampoo and festival are an ideal match. Although we have showers on site, it’s little to go around – which is why the majority of people prefer to do without. If you’re going to be able to get through a weekend without showers ensure you have dry shampoo. You won’t be able to tell anyone!

Wet Wipes

Don’t forget!

Hair Brushes and Accessories for Hair

Camping in tents isn’t the most ideal for hair So don’t forget to bring hairbrushes. If you’re looking to try the classic festival hairstyles such as the alien buns or glitter braids It’s recommended to carry some hair accessories!

Towel

In the event of rain in the event of rain, take an extra towel (a light camping towel in the event that you have one). This will allow you to get dry after having a rainy day out.

Clothes

It’s best to make a list of your outfits in advance so that you don’t have to pack too much or miss things that are important. It’s a good idea to pack an extra outfit, in case of a spill or you require something that’s weather-proof.

Once you’ve packed everything now, you can relax. Now is the time to look forward to the amazing weekend coming up! Be ready for some spectacular entertainment events, shows, food and drinks.
