Bin bags, loo roll and gaffa

Depending on where your site is, what type of site it is and how long your running for then you mght need to take some things with you

Here's a few things that you may well need to include in your list of things to pack, or at least to check with the site first
Bin bags - You will need bin bags. Lots of them, not just for rubbish but they're handy for sticking wet / muddy kit to transport home
Loo roll - Most sites will have loo roll already there. Most of them. Worth having a few rolls stashed away for emergencies
Gaffa - Because Gaffa fixes everything
Baby-wipes - Great for clearing off make up really quickly and easily
Washing up liquid and sponges - If you're doing an event where you've got a kitchen then it may well not have washing up liquid and sponges
£1 coins - You may well need these for meters. Some sites have electricity meters or showers which are powered by putting £1 in the machine
Kindling / firelighters - Sites which have open fireplaces or outside firepits will have chopped logs, but won't have much to help start it off.
A hatchet - If the site has logs then you might want something to make them smaller, if it doesn't have chopped logs then you'll want something to chop up falled branches /  cheese
First aid kit - Most sites will have a first aid kit, but its worth having a small portable one with you which you know is fully stocked
Blue Ikea bags - Its worth going to Ikea and stocking up on a load of these. They're handy for everything
Torches and batteries  - You may well need these. Consider a head-torch if you're going to need hand-free
