What to Pack for Glastonbury Festival

As a first-timer to Glastonbury Festival, there are some things I took that I didn’t need and others I wish I’d packed. Here’s a complete list of items you may need or that are nice to have, but of course, use your own discretion. Items in bold are my recommended necessities.

There is a co-op shop, market stalls selling all manner of clothing and accessories as well as camping stores across the festival site.
