READING AND LEEDS 2021 ESSENTIALS AND PREP GUIDE ┃What to take?

[@kabukichaos]

Ear plugs, sleeping mask & energy drinks essentials too. Great video! 👍🏼

[@robertjames2645]

Top tip, you can take sealed water bottles into the arena. You can cut the top off a doner bottle of water, stick it in boiling water and pop the whole cap and unbroken seal off with a screwdriver, then stick it on another bottle full of gin/vodka.

[@gmbarnard170]

Saw on another video someone suggested some sort of energy gel or sweet in case you feel like you don’t have much energy, and also sudocrem for any bites/itches/rashes you may get

Yes!!!

Maaannnn I’m off to boomtown this year and I’m well excited but mad nervous, I didn’t realise how big it is

porridge pots!! just add hot water which is available at the festival 😎

[@TheFestivalMill]

How accessible is it?

[@philippaboswell967]

i looked online and it said you can get it from the British Red Cross tent i think it was, for a small donation! Also i’m bringing hot water bottles for the night time

[@daisyweedon129]

Can you buy alcohol in the co-op at the festival ?

[@laurenshar501]

yes

[@TheMrdominator1997]

Wake up early, be first in the arena, take a dump in the nice clean toilets. Simple.

Is there anywhere to charge stuff at reading like if your portable charger runs out?

[@frankiemcmorrow9160]

lockers

[@robertjames2645]

Lockers used to be shit, you would put them in and get them out only half charged. Just buy chargers, for example a 20000 mah battery pack will charge your phone 5 times (my phone is 4000mah battery, so 20000/4000=5)

[@willrose6862]

[@frankiefisher1971]

@robert james what are the quieter areas as this my first time

[@robertjames2645]

@@frankiefisher1971 are you going to reading? Camp in white campsite - everyone knows it as the quieter place. It's still busy and has atmosphere, just it's the further campsite from the arena. Again, if you're young you might like one closer. Generally closer = rowdier. Just don't put a lock on your tent, it advertises you have something to steal. Your valuables should be on your person, at nighttime put them up by your head, and just use some common sense and you'll be fine.

[@maciecroft1292]

Am I being stupid or can you put alcoholic drinks in big plastic bottles that are unsealed?? Please let us know
