Festival Essentials: What You Need for Camping at Belladrum

As the summer sun starts to brighten our days, one thing pops up in the minds of music lovers across the UK — festival season! And when we think of festivals, our minds fondly meander towards Belladrum, our favourite local music extravaganza. Known as the Tartan Heart Festival, Belladrum's history traces back to 2004 and the event has made a mark with its unique blend of music, arts, and culture. Just like a well-tuned instrument, your festival experience can be just as harmonious with the right festival supplies.

The Perfect Campsite Furniture for Rest and Relaxation

First thing’s first, have you got yourself a sturdy, reliable tent? It is absolutely essential that you have a tent you know will serve you well at a festival; after all it’ll be your home, and bed, for the weekend! Our easy-to-set-up tents, such as the Highlander Birch 3 Tent - Rumba Red/Tango, provide a cosy shelter to relax and sleep after an exciting day of music.

With your tent secured, it’s important that you kit it out with the essentials for your time at the festival (or future camping trips!) Of course, a sleeping bag is an absolute must. But you can also unwind after a day of festivities on a range of camping furniture. Be it a stool, table, or camper mat, Highland Industrial Supplies has all the essentials to make your camping experience comfortable and enjoyable. These practical items not only add comfort but help create a homely ambiance around your campsite.

Embracing Scottish Weather: Raincoats, Ponchos, and Wellies

The Scottish weather is as unpredictable as the next chart-topping hit. One minute there could be glorious sunshine, the next you could be in the middle of a downpour! Being prepared with raincoats, ponchos, and wellies not only adds to your festival chic but also keeps you dry and comfortable during unexpected showers. Our range of stylish, yet practical waterproofs ensures that a little drizzle won't dampen your festival spirit.

Don’t want your fantastic festival ensemble to go unnoticed? You can’t go wrong with a clear poncho to ensure that your favourite artists, and the crowds around you, can still see your snazzy Belladrum outfit!

Protecting What Matters

Don’t forget to take sunscreen with you to protect yourself from the summer UV! Even when it’s cloudy and raining, your skin must be protected from those harmful UVA and UVB rays. Combine sun protection with insect repellents so you keep the buzz of insects at bay while you enjoy the rhythm of your favourite band.

And when you need a break from the festival decibels, ear defenders offer much-needed respite, ensuring you enjoy the music on your terms. These are especially great for the kids in your festival crew, as they help to prevent NIHL (Noise Induced Hearing Loss) and enable children to feel more comfortable in what could be a new, overwhelming environment.

Hydrate and Illuminate

Staying hydrated throughout the weekend is an absolute festival essential. You can party smart while partying hard, and staying hydrated is obviously one of the most crucial ways to do that! It can become easy to forget to keep drinking water throughout a two-to-three-day festival; combined with sweating and walking back and forth between stages or the campsite. Drinking water throughout the weekend is therefore an absolute festival essential to ensure a safe and enjoyable time! Our range of durable, environmentally-friendly water bottles are perfect for taking to a festival like Belladrum, helping keep you refreshed throughout the day.

If you’ve been on any sort of camping trip or attended a festival before, you’ll know that a torch is a must-have. From trying to dress in your festival best after sundown, to navigating back to your tent at the end of the day, a torch is a festival essential. When dusk falls, our range of torches light your path, ensuring you safely navigate the campground.
