Festival Essentials You Need This Season
Festival season is upon us, and it’s time to gather the essentials to make your experience a breeze. Whether heading out for a weekend camping festival or a day trip, preparation is key to making the most of your time. Thankfully, Poundland has your back with all the festival essentials you need, from camping gear to food, gadgets, and toiletries. Let’s dive into the festival essentials list to ensure you’re fully prepared for the ultimate festival adventure.
Camping Gear and Sleeping Essentials for Your Festival Stay
For festival-goers camping out under the stars, the right camping gear is crucial. Make sure you pack a reliable tent, a sleeping bag that’s perfect for the weather, and comfort-enhancing extras like camping pillows. But why stop there? Bring comfortable folding chairs for chilling between sets and a cool bag to keep your snacks fresh! Poundland has a fantastic selection of festival camping essentials, including the Summer Party Leaf Large Cool Bag, which is ideal for keeping food and drinks cool throughout the festival.
For a weather-dependent extra, why not take a paddling pool to relax in before the acts come on stage? They’re great for refreshing yourself during the day, but also perfect for your younger children and pets to cool off between sets. With this, you’ll have a mini oasis to dive into during the festival heat!
Toiletries and Personal Care – Don’t Forget These Festival Necessities!


Let’s face it, the last thing you want at a festival is to feel unkempt and uncomfortable. It’s important to pack the right toiletries for your trip. Skip the stress and stock up on festival-friendly hygiene essentials, such as Sensoft Micellar Cleansing Wipes for just 65p and Batiste Dry Shampoo, to keep your hair fresh on the go.
For those long festival weekends, having toothpaste, deodorant, and shower essentials in your festival bag will save you time and energy. These essentials will ensure you feel as fresh as the day you arrived while making the most of every moment in the sun.
Sun Protection and Cooling Down
A festival wouldn’t be complete without a little sunshine, but it’s essential to keep your skin protected from those UV rays. Poundland offers an excellent selection of sun protection to keep your skin safe while you soak up the festival vibes. Stay protected with our Scentials range, from our SPF 50 Salted Caramel & Pistachio suncream, hair protect leave-in treatment and suncare lipbalm. Alongside sunscreen, it’s important to stay cool and refreshed, especially during the summer heat. Our Pepco mini fan in purple and blue will keep you comfortable during the warmest festival days, helping you beat the heat.
Why a Good Raincoat is a Must-Have Festival Essential
A festival raincoat is not just a fashion statement – it’s a festival essential! After all, there’s nothing worse than being stuck in a crowd when it starts to pour, or worse, being unprepared when your favourite band hits the stage and the rain comes pouring down. Having a raincoat at the ready ensures you can continue enjoying the festival vibes, even if the weather doesn’t cooperate. Our reusable raincoats in pink and blue will be your saving grace during the festival season.


Drinks to Quench Your Thirst
When it comes to staying hydrated at a festival, having drinks to quench your thirst is essential. Some festivals may even allow you to take soft drinks into the festival grounds, making it easier to stay refreshed throughout the day. At Poundland, we’re here to offer you a variety of options to keep you hydrated and satisfied throughout your festival experience, including Pepsi Max No Sugar Cola Cans (Pack of 8) or Oasis Summer Fruits 1.5l.
