Camp Bestival News

-
I am off to Camp Bestival in the summer and I think each time I open my email there is new and exciting news about what is going on there!

 I have been a regular there since 2010 and there hasn't been a year I've managed to do or see (or eat) everything I wanted to. But at least I've never been bored! Luckily Camp Bestival seems to have grown with my daughter and they now have a dedicated teen area. If you have never been to a festival and have kids this is a great place to start. i really feel now I won't worry when Dd decided to go to festivals on her own or with mates, she really will be an old hand at festival life!

 Anyway, on to the news! There are newly announced acts some of which I have heard of and some I have yet to discover (another great thing about festivals is discovering fab new bands without the risk of having bought tickets to a concert! You like them, you stay and listen, you don't and you can find something else!)

And in our favourite tent (The Guardian Literary tent - ooh aren't we middle class darlings!) there are some great names presenting interesting subjects, from book signing, to bed time stories to feminism! Again I shall complain - how can we fit it all in!!!

So if you are now drooling at the thought I have the info you need - grab tickets and start getting excited!

Festival Trolley - The best and the worst thing ever

-
Image
I own a festival trolley. I don't even have the excuse that I have a toddler (or toddlers) that may need to rest their legs. I didn't buy it until DD was well past the toddler stage but it's a great investment...and I love my festival trolley. But I also hate festival trolleys. They are large and cumbersome and while once maybe 10% of families at family festivals had one, I think that it's now closer to 80% and not everyone seems aware of any trolley etiquette. I tend to see myself in 'trolley-mummy-mode' as one of the lucky ones, I have a built in sofa if I stop, somewhere to store all the stuff I need day to day, and at the start and end of a festival I can get my camping stuff to and from the car without too much effort, and without queueing for (or paying for) a hire trolley. So let's look at the positives and negatives of owning a festival trolley. And also let's think about the responsibility trolley use (either your own or a hired one) bring

Top 5 Tips for Camping at Download Festival - Guest Post from Tattooed Tealady

Today on the blog, a beauty blogger gets down and dirty at Download festival and gives us the benefit of her experience. Much of her advice applies to all festivals, not just Download Camping isn’t my usual topic when it comes to writing blog features, instead opting for beauty, lifestyle and parenting features over on my blog, Tattooed Tealady , but today I’m quite looking forward to being able to share something different, and what better place than here! Today I’m going to run you through my Top 5 Tips for Camping at Download Festival , a metal festival held in the East Midlands at Donnington Park and the festival I have frequented the most over the past 8 years. First things first, plan where you’re going to camp. Of course, you can’t guarantee you’ll end up in the camp site you want, but Download Festival does have a handy map which shows all the campsites and the earlier you get there, the more likely you are to land the spot you want. There’s different areas for different

No Fridge Required

Maybe you are off to a festival, maybe you are a minimalist camper who doesn't use EHU , but either way there may be times you are away from home, away from the power to refrigerate things, but you are not quite rich enough to eat out for every meal. What options are open to you? As a camper that uses a cool box occasionally but never uses EHU I have a few ideas. Let's start with breakfast. On the first day you could splash out with a fry up of bacon, eggs, mushrooms, tomato and potato. These things will keep for a day if you can keep them cool - but I tend to just bring enough for day one. Other things that you can pack for breakfast include lots of things that are individually packed, many bread based things go mouldy quickly in the moist summer heat inside a tent, so things that are packed singly are a good way to keep things fresh. The pound shop is a good source of camping food. My personal favourites are brioche , croissants , breakfast biscuits and cereal bars.
