  3. Decorating my tent

    There will be thousands of tents will be rammed together with barely space to walk between them, so why should one with little solar lights around it be any more of a magnet or attractive proposition to thieves?  Lots of tents are decorated to help people find them in an otherwise sea of blue and green. We always used to have a 30ft high flagpole with lights all the way up it to act as a beacon to help us find it when returning at night.

    The best protection against thieves is to make good friends with your neighbours so they will raise concerns if strangers seem to be sniffing around your tent.  In the same way, you keep an eye on theirs.

    And, of course, don't leave anything valuable in your tent.  Use the lock ups.

    Thanks good advice about neighbours. did you just use a tent pole for your flag?

    This year I was thinking about placing little solar lights around our tents. My only concern is that I could be drawing attention of thieves to my tent. Has anyone done this before? How have people decorated their tents in the past? thoughts please.  :)

  9. Anxiety and First Time Festival Goer

    When I was there last year I noticed a Bristol MIND tent. If you needed to talk to somebody about you anxiety or panic attacks while at the festival I assume that there will be someone at the MIND tent should be able to offer you experienced support with that. I'm struggling to remember exactly where they were located last year but I don't think they were too far away from the pyramid stage. If you cant find the MIND tent then there are plenty of other places already mentioned which are there to support people at the festival.

    Most importantly look after yourself. drink plenty of water and eat well. There's plenty of places where you can fill up a water bottle around the site and loads of tasty food! Maybe indulge in some meditating or holistic therapy in the healing field. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
