Festival Virgin?

Last weekend has been one I have been waiting for for a while. On the 25th of August 2022, I went to Reading Festival for the first time- and there was so much preparation that I hadn't considered. Unlike some of my other friends, I hadn't had the opportunity to go to a festival before so Reading was my first one. No one talks about the preparation you have to go through in order to make the weekend an experience that you will remember in a good way! 

I believe that my friends and I truly did the Reading festival right this year; with a nice camping area, a proper night's sleep, good food and actually seeing all the bands we wanted to see live. 

Therefore, I thought it would only be right to share with you in this week's post the festival checklist that I created for my weekend at Reading. Although this was made for Reading, all the items on this list are still necessary and relevant for any festival that you go to. Before using my list though, remember to always check the festival's website or app because they may have more detailed information or recommendations that are specific for their weekend.
