Boardmasters 2026 packing advice

My DD16 is going to Boardmasters (wed-mon) this year with her BF and we’re making a list of everything she will need.

If your teen has been before could you please share their packing list essentials, including all the obvious things as well as the things people often forget? I’m trying to make sure we’ve thought of everything rather than assuming we already know the basics!

Things like:

  • Camping essentials
  • Clothing and footwear
  • Toiletries
  • Food and drink suggestions
  • Phone charging/power banks
  • Safety items
  • Weather related must-haves
  • Anything that makes festival camping more comfortable

Also, are there any common mistakes first-timers make or items your teen wished they’d packed?

We live about an hour away so we’re not far away if she needs us, and her BF parents will be staying in Newquay in case of any emergencies.

Any tips for a 16-year-old’s first Boardmasters experience would be really appreciated. Thanks so much
