Just make sure you select the next day delivery option when you get to the checkout and place your order before Monday 18th June (if you’re leaving on Wednesday morning, for example!).
Make sure that you also remember to take…
- Aftersun – Fingers crossed for a sunny Glastonbury this year. Make sure you don’t get burnt in the first place, but if you’re looking to sooth sun-exposed skin, this is free from from alcohol, artificial perfumes, petrochemicals and made with organic Aloe Vera, mint and calendula.
- Deodorant – Two flavours, one that’s not scented, the other one smells of Rosemary. Both are organic.
- Toothpaste – loads of different types of toothpaste here. Kingfisher toothpaste isn’t tested on animals, it’s GMO free, and it contains no animal products either.
You’ll obviously be needing all the regular stuff like tents, camping equipment and wellies, but there’s also stuff that you won’t need to take…
Don’t Bring Loo Roll!
The Glastonbury festival organisers have teamed up with Nouvelle to provide free rolls of 100% recycled loo paper for everybody who goes to the Festival. As well as working with Glastonbury this year they also work with Wrap, The Woodland Trust and The Big Recycle. That makes them alright by us.
Stay tuned next week for our exclusive How Ethical! reports from Our Man at Glastonbury.
