Glastonbury Advice: How to Survive the Best Festival in the World

Glastonbury was without a doubt one of the best weeks of my life. And I don’t bold text lightly. I went with my boyfriend and our best couple friends and managed to have fun whatever the weather was throwing at us. You can read more about my first time at Glastonbury here, or read on to find out what I learned and how I’ll survive Glastonbury next time…

The weather at Glastonbury

I experienced cold, rain, torrential rain, storms, thunder, sunshine and extreme heat during my five nights at Glastonbury. Trust me, you need to be prepared for all weathers, including snow most probably. Good wellies are a must, as is a rain jacket, flip flops, umbrella (maybe) and a ground sheet for your tent.

You can buy all the essentials there, if you need. They literally had everything in the shops – the boyf bought some wellies for £15 that served him well. I also bought some long socks for £3 and neon face paint for the same.

Glastonbury food

There are a ridiculous amount of food options at Glastonbury. From falafel wraps, to salt beef bagels (arr yes), to milkshakes, burgers and hotdogs. Every cuisine you could want, you can find at Glastonbury.

Me and my chums did take a few things – we made ourselves a sausage breakfast one day, and some hot soup another. We also took plenty of sweets to keep the energy up and some homemade flapjack which was especially enjoyable sat in a mucky field.

We also had a stove and a percolator – yes, that’s the type of camper I am – so we were treated to freshly brewed coffee every morning.

Next time I probably won’t bother taking the sausages and other food. It wasn’t that expensive to buy from the stalls and it saves a lot of time, hassle and equipment, although I did enjoy my morning brew.
