Off to a festival soon? If so, you'll need to have a think about what kind of gear you'll need to take with you, especially if you're a festival newbie. We've got plenty of tips below to ensure you have a great time! The smaller, solid wheels make these trolleys less suited for deep mud. We had a pretty dry summer last year and they’d have been fine at most festivals, but we’ve had some very muddy festivals in the past. Portability: If you plan to travel with your trolley, choose a lightweight and easy-to-assemble trolley that can be easily transported in your car.

You could save some money with a two-wheeled trolley, or a fabric-lined trolley, but I wouldn’t recommend anything but a metal trolley for carrying heavy loads or going long distances. So they won’t do for Glastonbury, where you could be queuing for hours and walking a couple miles to your car. You’ll really want to bring everything in, and out again, in as few trips as possible so go for a full metal trolley at the bigger festivals. The upright trolleys with just two wheels can offer a sturdier, cheaper alternative to the folding trolleys above. That’s if you’ve got the body strength to keep it upright.Material: Consider the fabric of the trolley. Steel and aluminium trolleys are durable and sturdy, while plastic trolleys are lightweight and easy to clean. Handy when you've partied hard the night before and more importantly, you need to look cool, right? Let's not pretend, that's why you're really wearing them. This type of trolley is often sold as an Aldi/Lidl festival trolley special during the summer months, which probably explains their popularity. It’s pretty much the only time you’ll see festival trolleys of any kind sold in a supermarket. Take care of yourself. When you're at a festival, it's easy to feel a little less inhibited than you would normally. It's also easy to be more distracted and not be as aware as you might otherwise be. You're there to enjoy yourself and relax of course but take care of yourself and don't put your self situations where you risk your personal safety.

For example, it comes with a massive 150kg weight limit which makes it ideal for longer trips or when you have a lot of equipment. The frame is made from steel so is robust enough to withstand anything that a demanding trip throws at it without warping or bending. What’s more, you get excellent rust protection so it is safe to use in wet weather. div>
