Summer Ball is fast approaching (tomorrow festival goers!), and now that you're gearing up to go, I made a list of essentials you'll need to enjoy the music.

 

      1. The essentials:

  • Your ticket and ID: Can’t get in without these!
  • Cash and cards – For all the delicious food and drinks to keep you energised

 

       2. Stay hydrated:

  • Water bottle: Keeping hydrated is crucial, especially under the sun.

 

     3. Hygiene: Festival hygiene facilities can be hit or miss, so be sure to pack these essentials to stay fresh 

  • Wet wipes: For a quick refresh
  • Hand sanitiser: To keep germs away

 

     4. Sun protection: Avoid bad tan lines and potential heatstroke. Since you’ll be dancing and jumping around for hours, choose comfort over fashion

  • A hat: To shade your face 
  • Sunscreen: To protect your skin

 

     5. Clothing:

  • Footwear: Decide between blister inducing new shoes or your most comfortable pair. Trust me, comfort wins every time. 
  • Fanny pack: Carry your essentials hand-free with a practical and stylish bag.

 

Fun reminder: Most importantly, remember to have fun! With these survival essentials, nothing can go wrong.
