As magical, and fun and exciting as Glastonbury is, it can be pretty overwhelming. And navigating five days in a field with 200,000 strangers is even harder when you’ve packed the wrong shoes and didn’t bring a waterproof coat.
If you’re heading to the festival this year, you’re probably thinking about what you are going to bring with you. And we’re not just talking about booze and a jumbo pack of Lidl brioche. We’ve already told you what not to bring to Glastonbury festival (more on that below). But here’s a comprehensive checklist of everything you need to take to Worthy Farm this year. Be warned: pack light. The walk from the entrance to the tents is harder than D of E.
