With Glastonbury 2022 just around the corner, attendees need to prepare for five days of full-on, action-packed festival atmosphere.
This may seem a daunting prospect for those who aren’t experienced festival-goers; thankfully, we’re here to help with a list of all the vital items to ensure you maximise your enjoyment over the course of the festival.
Considering Glastonbury is one of the most prominent festivals in the world, the living arrangements tend to be relatively well-organised and required facilities are more plentiful than at other festivals.
With that being said, over 200,000 people are expected to be present so it’s not going to be a total walk in the park.

Before we crack on with the ‘kit-list’, the weather can make or break a festival so it’s important to consider the conditions before packing.
Currently, BBC Weather is reporting a mixed bag with sunny highs of 25°C on Wednesday and Thursday before light rain showers with temperature highs of 17°C on Saturday and Sunday.
From how to cope with the weather conditions to how to help with blisters, here is a list of items you don’t want to forget about in your rucksack.
