What tobring.
A party in a field isn't a party in a club. Here's how to come prepared:
Sturdy shoes
A field is no dance floor. Comfy shoes that don't mind a little soil.
A warm layer
Evenings outdoors cool down fast. Bring a jacket or jumper for later.
A charged phone
Plus a power bank, for llama selfies, photos and your trip home.
A weather check
Look at the forecast beforehand and pack a rain jacket if needed.
