Festival Essentials

The summer festival season creates a buzz of excitement for music lovers everywhere. From the amazing atmosphere, fantastic line-ups and the new friends to be made, it is an experience not to be missed.

By now you may have already made a decision on which festival to attend and whether it’s to see Metallica and Mumford & Sons at Reading or Leeds, Duran Duran and The Chemical Brothers at Bestival or Kasabian at V, one thing is for sure… You want the right resources to ensure the time of your life and FieldCandy is here to help…

There is only one place to start when assembling your essentials, and that is with the tent. The modern festival goer is cool, slick and wants to stand out from the crowd, and the festival tent should match your personality.

Secondly, the tent should be of high quality and with the unpredictable nature of both the weather and other festival attendees, this is of vital importance. 

Finally, you want something quick to assemble so to finally rest your weary legs after a long walk from the car or the bus to perfect pitching location, pull open a beer and at last enjoy the experience that has been for months in the planning.

FieldCandy’s Festival Explorer range unifies all of these factors, combining high quality materials with fun and functional design for the perfect multiple use tent. 

Amongst the tents in the range, Ignite is perfect for all music lovers who want to dance the night away… so put your hands in the air!  This dance tent displays a festival crowd in their ultimate element, rocking out to the electric atmosphere and guaranteeing a reminder of your fantastic experience long after your event.

A further array of tents to choose from are available through the original explorer range.

Next on the list of requirements and perfect for festivals, The Original SLPY enables the the user to stay warm and mobile simultaneously. The wearable sleeping bag allows you to sleep, wear and explore in. Ideally for the late night festival experience; stay cosy by the fire or snug inside your tent. The best materials allow the sleeping bag to withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees. 

Thirdly, Snoos are amusing and extremely comfortable washable foam pillows, ensuring a relaxing night sleep for your festival experience. Available in a range of colours and stand out designs, you can choose to relax on a watermelon wedge, a ultra realistic brick or a cute patchwork pillow. The fantastic choice allows not only the best sleep, but also is sure to become a topic of conversation and amusement for you and your friends. 

A further recommended addition to your comfort is the insulated floor mat. The soft and long lasting durable nature of the FieldCandy floor mat creates a warm and cosy nights sleep for your satisfaction. 

Another set of appliances to make your life easier is the FieldCandy accessories pack, for extra assistance with your tent. Ideal for the contingency planner, the pack comes complete with spare tent pegs, a rubber mallet, handy peg puller, combination padlocks and storm guidelines to attach your tent to the ground more securely in bad weather. 

Perfect for the long, humid nights, the CanStand enables the festival goer to keep their drink securely whilst keeping it at the ideal, cool temperature. Patented “Air Gap” technology ensures that your beverage is kept fifteen degrees cooler. The product is available in a range of colours so you can be colour co-ordinated or unique to the rest of your group, depending on your choosing.

With festival camping ranging from a weekend to a whole week, it is highly unlikely that your phone’s battery life will last the duration, particularly if you are capturing a lot of moments on your camera. FieldCandy can help with powerful and portable solar power chargers for you to charge your mobile device wherever you are. Further options are also available for tablet and hand-held gaming devices. 

Conclude your preparation with the finishing touches to your tent. Add a flag or a sign to your tent for a small additional charge, so to be sure that your tent can be spotted from great distance away.
