Your festival season survival guide

empty_920_615
Festival season is here and there is something for everyone this summer, whether you are heading to a single night show, a multi-day music festival, or a full camping weekend.

For those staying overnight, Halfords, 53 Degrees North, and TK Maxx have everything you need to set up camp properly. A reliable tent, a warm sleeping bag, and a solid rain jacket are the basics. Wellies are never a bad idea either.

If you are heading to a day or multi-day event without the camping, comfortable footwear, a portable charger, and a light waterproof layer will see you through whatever the weekend brings.

No matter how you are spending the summer, Boots at Carrickmines Park has everything you need to feel your best throughout.

  • Irish summer is unpredictable, pack the SPF and a rain jacket just in case
  • Blisters can ruin a good day out, stock up on plasters before you go
  • Dry shampoo, deodorant, and a travel perfume are essentials for the long days
  • A toothbrush and mouthwash are small additions that make a big difference
  • Hand sanitiser belongs in every bag
  • Painkillers. Pack them, and thank yourself later

Get the festival essentials today in Carrickmines Park and make the most of the Irish festival season.
