The Ultimate Festival Packing List🎪

Heading to Glastonbury, ParkLife, Wireless, or another UK festival this summer? Whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned festival-goer, packing smart can make or break your weekend, but don't worry, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s your complete festival packing checklist – with a few unexpected game-changers you’ll thank us for later (yes, we’re talking about FreshWipes 😉).

  • 💧 Reusable water bottle (Glastonbury has free refill stations!)

  • 🧻 Loo roll & tissues (trust us…)

👗 Festival Fashion & Fun Stuff

Half the fun of Glasto is the fashion, BUT, there's going to be A LOT of walking so me sure to keep it comfortable!

  • 🎽 Lightweight layers – for hot days and chilly nights

  • 🎉 Statement outfit – sequins, mesh, fringe – go wild

  • 🧢 Bucket hat or cap – stylish and sun-smart

  • 🕶️ Sunglasses (cheap ones, you'll probably end up loosing them!)

  • 🪑 Folding camping chair

  • 😴 Earplugs & eye mask

  • 🔦 Headtorch

  • 🥤 Collapsible cup for drinks

  • 🛍️ Bin bags (keep your campsite clean)

Trusted by Campers, Loved by Festival-Goers

When you're living out of a tent, campervan or motorhome, a hot shower isn't always on the cards. And baby wipes won't cut it. They're too thin, too dry, and they can't tackle body odour.

Freshwipes give you a full-body clean with a single wipe. Thick, saturated with moisture, and antibacterial – they remove odour-causing bacteria and leave you feeling genuinely fresh wherever you are, even when showers aren't available.

  • “Terrific and v useful all round”

    I have just spent 4 nights at a festival, and the pack of Freshwipes I pinched kept me fresh without needing to use the horrible showers!

  • “Survived a 5 day festival”

    These wipes are amazing! I went to a very hot and dusty 5 day festival and used them twice a day body and face wipes and felt fresh the whole time I was there

  • “Festival life saver”

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are Freshwipes for?

Anyone who needs to stay fresh when showering isn't possible. Our customers include people recovering from surgery, those with limited mobility or chronic illness, carers looking after loved ones, menopausal women managing hot flushes, HGV drivers on long hauls, campers and festival-goers, hikers, parents, commuters, cyclists, and anyone juggling long shifts or busy days. 

If you've ever wished you could feel clean without the hassle of a full shower, Freshwipes are for you!

What are Freshwipes made from?

Plant-based cellulose fibres. Each wipe is roughly A4-sized, thick, biodegradable, and can be composted or binned.

Can I flush Freshwipes down the toilet?

The only things that should be flushed down the toilet are poo, pee, and paper! Anything else should be responsibly disposed of in the bin, including Freshwipes.

What are the antibacterial ingredients, and are they safe?

Chlorhexidine Digluconate (found in Savlon and Corsodyl) and Benzalkonium Chloride. Both are low enough to avoid irritation, commonly used in hospitals and care settings, and strong enough to remove odour-causing bacteria.

Can I use Freshwipes all over?

Yes, on most external areas of your body. Avoid your face and eyes. If the product gets in your eyes, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.

Why are Freshwipes more expensive than baby wipes?

Baby wipes are small, thin, tear easily, and don't tackle body odour. You'd need 10+ to clean your whole body.

Freshwipes are:

  • Huge (30x20cm)
  • Up to 10x wetter
  • Thick and durable
  • Biodegradable (not plastic)
  • Antibacterial – they remove odour, not spread it

Our 12-pack weighs nearly double a typical baby wipe pack (367g vs 100-200g) because each wipe is saturated with cleaning solution. Plus, free UK delivery is included.
