Festival Tips & Inspo

First time festival-goer? I've got you. Here's all the best advice and tips I have for attending your first music festival, trying out a festival solo plus some inspiration for your next big weekend.

UK Festivals

The UK festival scene is unrivalled – we have such an incredible variety of music festivals and events! Here's some of my favourites that I highly recommend plus my extensive guides on everything you need to know.

Festival Fashion

I'm known as "the Sparkly Captain" among my friends ever since comedian Russell Kane bellowed it across the stage at me a few years ago. I don't believe in dressing down for an occasion – life is simply too short. So wear all the glitter and the most outrageous outfits, after all, festival fashion is a form of creative expression... isn't it?

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.

Vanlife Festivals

A recent addition – you may have seen me give a talk on solo female travel at Camp Quirky Vanlife Festival, of you may just love vanlife and want to meet more members of the community. Either way, check out these guides to the best vanlife festivals in the UK:

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.

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!

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?
