Do note that there will not be any changing rooms within the festival grounds, so do get changed before entering the venue.
You can also bring ‘protective gear’ such as goggles or ponchos which may come in handy during the ‘water fighting’ games. Extra towels and a change of clothes will be useful too. Potentially, electronic devices might get wet too. If you want to protect your phones, we strongly suggest keeping them in waterproof cases or pouches.
