Six ways to get kitted out for less this festival season

FESTIVALS are back with a bang this year after so many were cancelled during the pandemic.

Whether you are heading to Glastonbury next month to catch Paul McCartney, Billie Eilish and Kendrick Lamar or have got tickets for one of the other big events, you will need the right kit.

Here is how to save on those festival essentials . . . 

LOCK STOCK: Looking your best is not easy given late nights and limited access to showers.

Dry shampoo can be a lifesaver to revive oily roots.

Boots currently has a half-price offer on selected Battiste products, including 200ml sprays, down to £2.10 each.

KEEP IT CLEAN: Make-up wipes or baby wipes are another must for staying fresh.

Grab a pack of 25 Micellar face cleansing wipes at Superdrug for £1, down from £1.29.

PITCH PERFECT: Need a tent? There is no need to dig deep with Argos offering the Pro Action two-person dome tent for just £20.

Upgrade your night’s sleep with a Eurohike flocked inflatable airbed for £8, down from £25 at Blacks.

HAPPY CAMPERS: Having the right gizmos can really up the comfort level when camping.

B&M has a foldable trolley for £10 to help you lug everything to your pitch, a stylish retro Polarbox cooler for £22, an Eveready super-bright lantern for £12 and a Goodmans solar power bank for £12.

COOK UP A STORM: Dodge the queue for the food truck and save cash to boot with a Love Mud portable gas stove, £15 at B&M.

You can get a four-pack of butane canisters to use with it for £5 from the same store.
