The Checklist

Here’s our Glasto checklist. First thing to note is don’t EXPECT to be able to get anything except drinking water when on site. There are many many things on site, but we’ve found it safest not to plan on picking things when you get there, it’ll either be very expensive or you’ll waste half the festival wandering around 'shopping' for camping essentials!
