It’s nearly upon us… GLASTONBURY! Are you packed and ready? Here are a few hints and tips for the weekend as you pack and re-pack for the best working week of the summer…
- Tickets if travelling by public transport.
- A print off of the DCSS PAAM Info pack (includes arrival instructions, onsite contacts etc.)
- Plenty of underwear/socks, spares for every eventuality
- Clothes for when you’re off shift!
- Warmer clothes for the evenings and waterproofs
- Wellies! Glastonbury is known to have a spot of rain every now and then.
- Comfortable, sensible shoes for when on shift (don’t even think about working in flipflops)
- Ear plugs (in case you have trouble sleeping, festivals can be noisy)
- Mobile phone and charging packs. There will be charging points available, but DC will not be responsible for items left unattended.
- Any medication you require. If you require support, i.e., a cool place to store this, please contact the office ahead of time.
- A reusable water bottle to refill using the free water taps onsite.
- Plates and cutlery (there’s a washing up station available)
- A tent and all camping equipment!
- Sleeping bag/bedding – despite how warm it is during the day the temperatures drop at night.
- Sun cream, sun hat, sunglasses
- Extra toilet roll – this is available in the DC compound toilets but it’s always best to be over-prepared.
- Toiletries
- Contraceptives
- Glasses/contact lenses and solution where applicable
- Cash and card (best to have both)
- A work hard, play hard attitude!
We strongly recommend that you re-read through the information pack available to on DCSS PAAM, and if you have any queries, get in contact with the office now! Please also make sure to take note of the briefing times and bear in mind that the earlier you aim to arrive on Monday, the more space there will be for you to scope out your camping spot.
Remember, it’s always a good idea to bring sensible snacks, and small gas cookers are permitted at below knee-height. No open fires allowed.
Let’s go!!!
