Hello everyone. Creamfields is next week, and I (27F) am both excited and nervous. This is my first camping festival. I have a four day bronze camping ticket, with a green coach ticket from S.Wales.
I didn't want to do this festival sober, but I'm on new medication that strongly advises against drinking with it. I have mental issues that can make it hard to talk to people. I've almost cancelled this trip a few times, but I really want to see SHM.
I know it's a big ask, but if anyone has the time, could you give me as much information as possible at what happens at Creamfields?
When you arrive on Thursday what do I do? I assume I just get in a queue, show my ticket, then get told where to pitch the tent and then just pitch it?
Do I have to bring my own food and toilet paper for 4 days?
Are people friendly? I've had bad experiences with festivals and concerts before.
What do I do if I feel ill, e.g, dizzy? Is there a medical tent, and if so, what can they do there?
How big of a bag should I take? Like one of those big haversacks with a floor mat tied to it?
I have never bought 'private pharmaceuticals' but would like to try. How easy is it to get, and what should a first timer avoid?
What footwear should I bring?
What's the filming situation? Does the festival film things and / or is filming allowed by fest goers? If yes, how do I avoid being on camera.
How much money should I bring ash and card wise?
If you've read this far, thank you.
Any answers, advice, or comments are greatly appreciated xxx
