The Absolute Essentials You Need To Pack For EP To Survive
From your toothbrush to hayfever tablets
So you’ve got your Electric Picnic and you’re ready to head to Stradbally for the weekend, lucky you. Your first thought likely went to what you’re going to wear, and what drink you’re going to bring. But there are plenty more items in between that are just as important as your glitter and cans.
The last thing you want to do when you set up your tent and settle in for a weekend of fun is realise that you’ve left something essential at home. You can give yourself a pat on the back for remembering your toothbrush, but if you’re desperately searching the campsite for some spare toilet roll at 4am, you’ve done yourself wrong.
