Your EP checklist: 9 bits you’ll need when you’re in bits yourself

We’ve a BIG weekend ahead of us gals!

So, assuming you’ve a tent sorted (or plans to purchase it there), a sleeping bag, your ticket, money, and ID all in the bag, then it’s time for the essentials. For the days spent at Stradbally, when you’re loving life but totally pooped, you’ll want to ensure you have the following. Remember, you can grab pretty much anything you need at Tesco at Electric Picnic too!

1. Toothbrush and Toothpaste

Yep, you’ll want to keep just as minty fresh as you do at home.

2. Food, Glorious Food

When camping there’s nothing as beautiful as waking up, rolling over and digging into something tasty first thing. If you feel like you need a quick energy boost to get you going, Tesco will have protein bars, Cadbury treats, crisps and plenty of those immensely important fluids stocked to the brim.

3. Poncho/Rain Jacket

We don’t want to jinx it, but… Just in case.

4. Deodorant

Tesco have stocked up on deodorant, so if you run out, or can’t find the one you brought – no panic is necessary.

5. Dry Shampoo

Why, yes please!

6. Bog Roll

Listen, no matter how well stocked those portaloos are at festivals, there’s always someone (we think anyway) who goes around nabbing loo paper for themselves. Carry baby wipes or your own toilet paper roll, just to be on the safe side.

7. Wellies

And a thick pair of socks for these too.

8. Hand Sanitiser

If you need that extra clean feeling and want to say ‘bu-bye’ to germs – Tesco will have plenty sanitiser too.

9. Torch

VERY handy for roaming around at night on the way back from the stage or the shindig at your neighbours tent. Avoid any obstructions and tripping hazards by making sure those torch batteries are working too. If you need more when you’re there, you’ll find these at Tesco too.

Tesco will have everything from toothpaste to sunscreen, folding chairs to foot pumps. There’s even a whole party section with a range from glow sticks to rainbow wings! Get yourself to the Tesco store at Electric Picnic.
