Blog ≫ 2025 ≫ Latest Glastonbury packing list then

I have actually booked the time off now, and booked return coach travel! I have not checked if I have a tent yet. I had a quick look in the loft for something else and thought "that's the tent in that bag over there". Now I'm wondering if it was actually Clare's wedding dress in that bag, and then I started thinking how funny it would be if I'd just taken it to Glastonbury and had no tent but a wedding dress. I mean it's not very likely but there is the seed of a funny story in there.

Glastonbury checklist, in order. Latest Glastonbury packing check-list version will always be here, but I will paste updates over time.

1. For 2025 I have booked a return coach from Stratford.
2. Yeah went without this one year...
3. Pleased with this, stop losing my stuff, but also find my way back to the tent! I have bought four more Chipolo tags, which can be tracked with Google Find My Device.
4. Tote bag? Small backpack? Bum bag? To carry round the site in the day.
5. This is something I found on an old reminder list! Keep stuff dry! Weather dependent.
6. For stuffing clothes in and using as a pillow.
7. There is a Glastonbury parkrun! I can do it.
8. Not a lot of washing going on, but already this is not looking that minimal.
9. Titanium fork / spoon. OK spork if you prefer.
10. My favourite Patagonia travelling socks, assuming I'll be in them for the whole event!
11. This is new, could be important, otherwise this is a lot of days on one charge.
12. Hmm, head torch maybe? Is three torches excessive? Two is one, and one is none, they say.
13. ARGH I HAVE LOST IT! I have to get a new one!
14. Don't want to take all my own food and drink with me, but just light stuff to see me through between burger vans.
15. Only really in case the originals get wet.
16. Got a new one with built in USBC lead now.
17. Going to need to take two to be safe I think.
18. Good for the long journey there.
