This is an incomplete list and only a suggestion!
Vital stuff
| ⛺ | Tent (or space in someone else's) |
| 🛌 | Bedding - a sleeping bag and a pillow, plus extra blankets in case it is cold |
| 👚 | Clean clothes |
| 🚿 | A towel (we have showers!) |
| 🚿 | Shower gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, etc. |
| 🔦 | Torch and extra batteries. The site will be well lit but there will be darker bits (e.g. inside your tent) |
| 🥑 | Food and/or money for food (the bar will do cashback if you need more money) |
| 👢 | Walking boots or wellies (the site is a field, good shoes are a must) |
| 🧥 | Waterproofs. This is the UK: we do wet. |
| 👕 | Warm clothing, for evenings and sleeping in if it gets cold |
| 🎒 | Rucksack (or similar) for carrying valuables about with you (tents are NOT secure & we cannot guarantee things will be safe anywhere on site) |
| 💊 | Medicines, hayfever tablets (you will be surrounded by hay bales all day) |
| 🌞 | Sun cream and/or a sun hat |
| 🎟️ | Your EMF ticket (printed or saved on your phone) |
Useful things to bring
| 🔌 | A 20-30m power lead. If you can, a 16A plug on the end is useful. |
| 🔌 | A long (as long as the power lead) ethernet cable to connect your tent (although we have WiFi as well). |
| 💻 | Computer, both for personal use and many of our workshops will use them |
| 💻 | A micro USB cable to connect the badge to your computer |
| 🔌 | Charging gear (for phones, laptops etc.) |
| 🇪🇺 | Europe to UK plug adaptors (if you have non-UK equipment) |
| 🔨 | Making gear (for any/all of your hobbies) |
| ☕ | A water bottle and/or mug, useful for food & drink (when not got from vendors) |
| 📼 | Tape, gaffer, LX, what ever, always useful for fixing things wot break (like tents) |
| 🖊️ | Pen and paper |
| 🚮 | Bin bags (for rubbish and dirty clothes) |
| 🔥 | A few gold and silver space blankets and clothes pins to cover your tent and prevent it from turning into an oven in the morning sun |
Advice for villages/large groups
| ☕ | A small camping kettle may come in handy (larger kettles require care). We have food and drink vendors on site. |
| 🍳 | A camping stove shouldn't be needed, but will be permitted as long as it's off the ground. |
| 🖥️ | A network switch may reduce the amount of network cabling required but please inform NOC you have a switch. Wireless access points are not allowed. |
| 🖥️ | The switches in the DK's won't all do 10Mbit, so if you need 10Mbit connectivity (e.g. for old or embedded things) please bring a switch. |
| 🥛 | A mini fridge may be useful for storing milk |
Things to avoid if possible
| 🍾 | Glass bottles: broken glass is a pain to clean up. |
| 🔥 | Being on fire. |
| 🛋️ | Repeatedly jumping on a pile of bean bags in the lounge: bean bag balls are a pain to clean up. |
