I'm on the look out for a good site got camping/festival kit at a decent price. Anyone know any good websites?  Wanna avoid the Millets of this world.

I've been to festivals for years and have always had my own stuff.  But last Glasto i shamefully left a lot there due to waking up and not feeling well.  So i just hit the road and left lots.

I'm already stocked up with these though....

Obiously you have your Millets, Blacks, Cotswolds etc I've seen another store open up recently called Outdoors (I think) but not sure on their prices. All these highstreet stores will cost a bit unless they're doing a sale on stuff. If none of these take your fancy (I've got some pretty good deals on camping stuff in the past from these stores) then you best bet will probably be Ebay or army surplus stores dotted around the country. Depends on what your after. From your comment, I would imagine you left lots of little things like folding chair, roll mat(?) etc. These things you can find pretty cheap in any of the stores mentioned. Good luck!

you could try www.funkyleisure.co.uk

they have all festival related gear, be it ponchos, chairs, camping gear, flag poles, portable urinals..etc

i've gotten some gear off them already. quick enough delivery too

Sometimes the stores at glastonbury itself are pretty good for this, last year I picked up an army jacket for £2.50.

Joe Bananas, buy online and collect it there. None of this carting it all around the site shite. Leave your hands free for booze.    Its a gift for me coming from Dublin.

Have a look at tthe eBay photo - they are unisex, I personally stick to a fabric conditioner bottle + funnel. These are very expensive in comparison, I am a Yorkshirewoman after all!

you just tuck the spout part underneath, it's suitable for men and women, I've used em loads.





Can recommend Joe Bananas, you can order from them and pick up at the fest, very handy indeed!
