With this year’s music festivals in full swing, we bring you the top three items you can’t afford to be without as you trudge through mud, dance to the ringing in your ears and enjoy the best music acts of 2008. Five festivals remain and tickets for 2009 are selling out fast, so if you want to stay comfy, stylish and, above all, compassionate, don’t leave home without:
1. Pleather boots for muddy fields and strappy sandals for those rare moments of ’summer’
I’m especially loving the Francesca Black boots from Georgette (who, by the way, are giving away three pairs of shoes on PETA.org.uk) and the gorgeous selection of sandals at Bourgeois Boheme. Lads this is the place for you.
2. Quick and easy food to keep hunger pangs at bay
At festivals it’s all about food you can just pick up, shove in your mouth and go. Well, that’s when you’re not busy munching on veggie burgers, falafels and other ‘burger van’ goodies on display. Go for something like Linda McCartney’s veggie sausage rolls and sandwiches stuffed with Redwood’s veggie ham, chicken and beef slices.
3. Cruelty-free sun protection (just in case!)
It’s up to you how smelly and muddy you want to be, but if you’ve an ounce of sense you’ll be sure to pack some sunscreen. Even little hour-long bursts of sunshine can cause skin damage, so pack some cruelty-free sun tan lotion like Green People’s and Yaoh’s.
I went Reading, was ace! Already booking for next year
Gotta say, this years Carling festival was great, loads of vegan fast food options - you forgot to mention wellies!
And little need for sun protection, damned English weather!
