With less than a week to until Truck Festival, we have compiled a list of what to bring and what not to bring.
Described on the website as “The Godfather of the small festival scene”, Truck Festival will be taking place from Friday, July 26 to Sunday, July 28 at Hill Farm in Steventon.
What to bring
Tickets - which the festival asks for you to download in advance so it is available offline - photo ID, and a phone are all top of the list of items to bring.
According to the website, all bars and vendors will be completely cashless, so remember to take a card to pay.

Checking the forecast in advance is recommended to ensure all visitors bring suitable clothing.
As it stands the Met Office predicts the weather on Friday and Saturday to be 21C.
There will be water taps across the festival site, so taking a reusable water bottle is recommended to stay hydrated, although these must be empty when entering the festival.
Baby wipes, loo roll and basic toiletries such as a towel, soap, deodorant and toothpaste are all recommended.
Sealed prescription medication will be also allowed in at the gates.
Although the festival promises to cater for all dietary requirements, the website recommends to bring extra snacks, which are allowed in the campsite but not the arena.
Lastly, fancy dress, with this year’s theme being sporting heroes.

What NOT to bring
Aerosols over 250 grams including deodorants, antiperspirants,
hairspray, dry shampoo, suntan lotion or skin moisturiser are not allowed.
Also on the list is excessive amounts of alcohol, and it's important to note that it will only be permitted on first entry to the campsite, meaning visitors will not be able to exit and re-enter with more alcohol.
However, there will be bars selling alcohol at the festival, including cocktail bar Mixtons.
Animals are not allowed, with only registered assistance dogs permitted entry to the festival.

The list of banned items is extensive and you can read the list in full on the Truck Festival website.
