10 Products You Can't Go To a Festival Without

Festivals are always the most brilliant time of the year. Whether you are going for an art festival, cultural festival or music festival to spend time jamming with your friends, it's always good to know what to pack before you head out.

Here are 10 important things to take with you so that you fully enjoy yourself at the festival.

1. A Tough Phone Case

Crowds, mud and dropped phones go together. A shockproof case with a camera guard keeps your phone protected, and one that supports wireless charging means fewer cables to carry. The Auto-Focus iPhone case fits iPhone 11 to 17 Pro Max, with a glass camera guard and a non-slip finish.

2. A Fitness Smartwatch

Don't miss the plans you and your friends have made. A fitness smartwatch keeps time, syncs notifications with iOS and Android, tracks steps and heart rate, and is rated 3ATM waterproof with up to 7 days of battery life.

3. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are festival essentials, for the glare and for the all-day sun. Cool Shark HD polarized sunglasses have lightweight aluminium-magnesium frames and glare-cutting lenses. See our guide to the best polarized sunglasses for men.

4. A Reusable Water Bottle

Let's be environment-friendly on your next trip to a festival. Bringing a reusable water bottle is a great way to cut down on plastic while keeping yourself hydrated all weekend. Take care of our Planet Earth!

5. Sunscreen

Another basic festival essential. Let's not be the person who falls asleep in the sun and gets burned. Pick up a skin-friendly sun cream and reapply through the day. Slip-Slop-Slap 'Everyday'.

6. A First Aid Kit and a Medical ID

The future is always uncertain and accidents do happen. Carry a small first aid kit with band-aids, antiseptic and pain relief. If you have a medical condition or allergy, a personalized medical alert ID bracelet gives responders quick access to your details through its engraving and QR code.

7. Natural Deodorant

A natural deodorant is a must-have to pack. It's going to make you feel less gross when you are out there, sweaty and having fun. Keep it classy, it will stay with you all night long!

8. A Waterproof Jacket

While we all dream of a bright sunny weekend, there is no certainty that it will be exactly as we expect. It may turn out to be a mud bath. So, while you are packing your most fashionable festive clothes, make sure you add a waterproof jacket.

9. Shoes for Moves

For any festival, you need comfortable shoes. All that walking, standing and jumping around dancing can be a nightmare without a little shoe comfort. Take your most comfortable pair, and a spare if you need to. It's a foot-loose must!

10. A Waterproof Anti-Theft Backpack

Once your essentials are ready, you need a bag to stuff them in. A simple backpack is fine, but an anti-theft one is better. The Waterproof Anti-Theft Backpack has hidden storage compartments for your phone, wallet and passport, and waterproof material that protects your belongings from light rain and spills.
