Pro-tips packing for Glastonbury Festival

Plan to arrive at Glastonbury Festival when there is plenty of daylight. You may think of travelling down after work to save one day's annual leave, however that may mean you trying to pitch your tent in the pitch dark, which can be tricky and extra hard work.

Label all valuables with your house name or number and postcode, so they can be posted out to you if they are lost and handed in.

Pack a portable camping chair so you can stay rested throughout the festival. Chances are it's going to be a full-on weekend, so try to get as much rest as you can.

Belt-bags or bum-bags may not be your cup of tea, however they are really handy to store essential items and saves you lugging around a handbag.
