What To Bring
When thinking about what to pack, please bear these things in mind.
- Only bring what you really need.
However you arrive, you’ll inevitably have to carry your stuff from your car,The Gillow Team definitely encourage you to only bring things which you can take home – that includes everything, even your tent.
- Don’t skimp on the essentials
Please bring a sturdy tent (and take it back home with you). So please bring a sturdy tent that will last a lifetime of festival camping.
- REUSE, REDUCE, RESPECT.
In a stand to make our world more sustainable, we ask you to avoid singe-use items and opt for reusables options where ever possible and help us look after the land on which the Festival stands.

5.5 litres (12 cans) of cider OR beer OR similar strength drink; OR 1.5 litres of wine.
