📝 The Ultimate Festival Gear Checklist for Summer 2025 (UK Edition)

🌞 Heading to a festival this summer? Don’t wing it — pack like a pro.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, there’s nothing worse than showing up underprepared. From soggy tents to forgotten chargers, we’ve all learned the hard way.

So we made this no-nonsense guide to the must-have gear for UK festivals in 2025 — built from experience, not theory.

🛒 The Festival Essentials You Actually Need

1. Heavy-Duty Festival Trolley

You’ll thank yourself the moment you hit the car park.
Opt for a foldable trolley with off-road wheels to carry all your gear in one go — tents, crates, coolers, the lot.

2. A Chair That Doesn’t Sink

Mud happens. So does exhaustion.
Bring a foldable camping chair with a cup holder or padded backrest so you’re not sitting in someone’s leftover cider.

3. Neck Fan or You Will Overheat

Yes, even in the UK.
Crowds + sun = heatstroke city.
A hands-free neck fan keeps you cool during the day and fits in your bag at night.

4. Power Bank (Big One)

Don’t trust festival charging lockers.
Bring a high-capacity power bank with at least 10,000mAh so your phone, vape, and mates stay juiced all weekend.

5. Camping Table

Because eating noodles on your knees sucks.
Grab a foldable camping table to prep food, play cards, and stack your essentials off the wet grass.

Keep your gear dry with waterproof bags and dry pouches — your socks, charger, and dignity will thank you later.
