Going to our first festival in September with a 1 year old. Hoping people who have done it before can let me know what essentials they took with them?
Thanks!

We did our first festival with our little boy just as he turned 1 this summer. We took a wagon for him to have some shade and a place of his own but saw lots of people with buggies. One of the best things I took was his carrier which we hadn’t used for months but the only place he would nap was in the carrier on my chest! We took him back to our camp to have his bedtime routine, milk and into pjs and then popped him in the carrier to go and see some music, and he slept there all evening so we got to see the headliners!
Also don’t forget the ear defenders, we did little dance party’s in the living room every evening a few weeks before to get him used to wearing them!
Other good things we took were a little fan to keep him cool, fairy light for the wagon when it got dark so no one bumped into it! Loads of snacks, and some toys but he wasn’t really into them with so much going on.

Thank you 🙏
