How can it be that this summer's festival season is already hurtling towards its end? It seems like just a few days ago Glastonbury was kicking off the summer with style, and now we're ploughing through August and there's rain and hurricanes and it's getting dark before 10pm. It's OK though, we're mourning prematurely - there's still Reading & Leeds, Bestival and V Festival to tide us over.
There's even a chance that you're heading to one of these festivals having never been to one before. If this is the case, you are very much in the right place. These are the 18 essentials that will make your time camping in a muddy field and not showering for three days so much smoother.
