Festivals & Gigs

Festivals are one of my favourite things in life – I love everything from festival fashion, to the music, to the people I meet at these amazing events. I’ve been lucky enough to go to a lot of festivals, work with festival companies and even speak at vanlife festivals. So, I’d say I’m a festival expert! This section will share some of my favourite events, the best outfits to wow the festival crowds and the vanlife essentials you need!

Festival Essentials

As an avid festival-goer, I’ve got the best tips on what essentials you need to pack. Turn the average festival into a boujie and wayy more comfortable camping experience with these suggestions. Pick out the best tent, sleeping bag and much more with my help. You can even recreate festival season from the comfort of your back garden.

Festival Inspiration

UK Festivals

Festival fashion is a real passion of mine and I love nothing more than wearing as many colours as possible and dousing myself in glitter. I love the creativity that comes out at festivals and will always find ways to jazz up my outfits to feel extra special. Here’s my fave festival fashion brands:

UK

I’ve always been very lucky to come from a beautiful part of the world – the North Norfolk coast. Growing up, I had some of the best beaches in the UK and some amazing forests just down the road. Over the years I’ve loved enjoying city breaks in London, York, Cambridge, Norwich and Brighton. Some of my favourite things to do are find amazing places to eat including London food markets, heading to UK music festivals or taking a road trip across the UK. Now that I have the camper van, my forays across the UK are more focused on wild swimming spots, best places for vanlife and campervan trips, plus hiking guides and exploring national parks.

Vanlife

I’ve always loved vanlife and road trips, but it wasn’t until the panny-d when I finally invested in a camper van of my own. I’ve road tripped across Australia, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Bulgaria and many more. Buying my own campervan has been a big learning curve and I’ve picked up a lot of great tips along the way. Here I share all my guides on getting a camper van of your own, road trip inspiration, vanlife health checks and solo female vanlife.

Europe Festivals

Want to travel but also love festivals? Why not combine them and do both?! There’s so many amazing music festivals across Europe and so many opportunities to party on beaches, in the mountains and even in meadows. Explore a new country and party with the locals, before heading on an adventure to recover from dancing your socks off.

Europe

Escape with Absolutely Lucy on a European adventure. Whether it’s a weekend city break, a long summer holiday or perhaps even an epic road trip or Interrail. Get off the beaten track in Slovenia or explore alpine lakes in Austria and Switzerland. Get away from the crowds and visit Liechtenstein and tick off the 6th smallest country in the world. Summer holiday in Malta, Greece, Italy or Portugal and top up that tan. Or head to Ibiza and dance until the sun comes up. I’ve got everything from European music festivals to travelling by campervan to hotel hopping from city to city. There are so many amazing options when travelling Europe and it’s the perfect place for a solo female travel adventure.

Australia Festivals

Australia’s music festivals were a big part of my time spent travelling there on a working holiday visa. I loved finding festivals and building them into my route around the country. Rainbow Serpent was a real highlight and one I’ll never forget. But there were also so many bush raves and parties that went on outside of the festivals. Australians know how to party!

Australia

There’s some countries that just connect with your soul and Australia was definitely that country for me. I spent two years over there on an Australian working holiday visa – and it’s an experience I would recommend to everyone. During my two years, I found myself living the longest in Darwin and Melbourne which both became my home twice. I also travelled up the entire East Coast from New South Wales to Queensland during my first year. In my second year, I road tripped and wild camped up Western Australia to the Northern Territory – starting in Perth and finishing in Darwin. I also spent a month road tripping Tasmania and paid a quick visit to Adelaide. My absolute highlights were exploring national parks across the West Coast and Northern Territory, and around Victoria. Find posts on preparing for wild camping, planning the ultimate Australia road trip and living in the outback and scoring second year “farm work”.

Worldwide Festivals

Fancy exploring a festival on another continent? Going to a music festival alone in Central America was one of the best experiences of my life! I met so many amazing people and it inspired me to do more of these events. Would you try a solo music festival?

Festival Fashion

Festival fashion is a real passion of mine. I love anything glitter, colourful and holographic! I wish we would dress like that all the time. Here I share my fave places to shop for festival clothes, the best festival shoes and much more coming soon.

Fashion & Beauty

I may have spent a decade living out of a backpack but that doesn’t mean I can’t be stylish. Clothes and skincare are passions of mine and no matter where I’ve travelled, I’ve always found ways to incorporate these into my travels. From shopping at the markets, to finding budget-friendly ways to indulge. I’ve become a master at packing so that I can maximise my wardrobe even when I have very little baggage allowance. Here I share my favourite sustainable brands, the best festival fashion and the skincare products you need.
