What to bring
- Waterproof jackets and umbrella (August weather can be unpredictable)
- Sun cream and hats for protection on the day
- Snacks and refillable water bottles to keep children hydrated
- Comfortable walking shoes or trainers for exploring the lakeside grounds
- A blanket or portable camping chair if you want to settle in for performances

Top tips
- Arrive earlier rather than later if you want a good spot for any performances or activities, as thousands are expected to attend
- Plan a lunch or early dinner nearby before heading to the lake, as festival catering can get busy during peak times
- Wear layers as lakeside temperatures can drop in the evening, especially if you're planning to stay until 6pm
- Bring a small rucksack to carry purchases and keep your hands free for supervising children in the crowd
- Check the Manvers Lake car park situation in advance, as busy events can fill up quickly
