They might not be the most stylish wardrobe additions, but emergency ponchos are perfect for festivals. They’re cheap, lightweight, and compact. You can also quickly throw them on over whatever you’re wearing to stay dry during a downpour.

The Halfords Emergency Poncho is the perfect way to stay dry during your festival adventures. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket and can be easily whipped out should the heavens start to open!

3. Self-inflating airbed

Just because you’re out camping, doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a comfortable night’s sleep. Using an airbed means you can settle down and get some shut-eye, so you’re raring to go again the next day! Picking up one with a built-in inflator is a bonus as there’ll be nothing else to carry.

The Halfords Airbed with Built-In Pump is an efficient yet affordable option – perfect for festival camping.

4. Folding trolley

If you’re a regular festival-goer you’ll already know it’s unlikely you’ll be able to park next to where you’re pitching up. A folding trolley will help you cart all of your kit to your pitch, then fold up out of the way until it’s time to head home.

The Halfords Festival Folding Kart Trolley is the perfect option for moving camping gear from the car park to your pitch spot. The kart is compact and lightweight when folded, making it easy to transport and store when not in use.

5. Camping cooking kit

You can normally buy food at a festival, but if you fancy saving money and cooking yourself, why not bring along some camping cooking equipment?  The Halfords Cookset Pack is a great option – you can rustle up a life-saving fry-up in the morning while saving yourself some money in the process. This set has everything you need from a portable gas stove to aluminium pans.
