What to pack for creamfields 2011

A few people have mentioned / asked us about what to wear or pack for Creamfields (or any festival really). The answer is relatively simple, keep it casual, it will be muddy but nice casual! Well at Dance Music Manchester, here is a simple guide:

Blokes 

Hot:  T-Shirt, Shorts, Wellies / Trainers
Wet  / Cold:  Hoody,  Jeans / Shorts, Wellies

Lasses

Hot: Light top, denim shorts /skirt, wellies (*had to work hard to resist the urge to type ‘nothing’..)
Wet / Cold: Hoody / Jumper / Cardy, denim shorts with leggings, wellies

Fun
Fancy dress of all kinds will make appearances at most festivals, Morph suits were popular last year for example.

What To Pack if Camping:

We like to keep it simple when camping at festivals. A tent is obviously a necessity, sleeping bag, underwear, couple changes of clothes, breakfast, beer, torch, face wipes, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, wellies and trainers, hangover cure (bacon / resolve tablets!) , midnight snacks and condoms (just in case!).  Don’t take too much. Noone thinks the person with all the little camping gadgets is remotely cool at a festival. Go, party, eat, drink and have fun.

WHAT YOU CAN’T BRING INTO THE EVENT

• Video cameras
