Glastonbury festival maybe cancelled for the second year in a row, but we can still put on our wellies and dance around in the rain. The festival’s most avid fans have coined Glasthomebury as way to bring the atmosphere of Britain’s most iconic festival to our home towns. .  The grassroots organisation encourages donations to Mind, NHS Charities Together, the NSPCC, Refuge and the Trussell Trust. With the Glasto Official 50th birthday celebration on the BBC over the weekend (26-28th June), now is the time dig out the fairy lights, sparkly headbands (and of course wellies!) and get planning your...

We also looked at transfer solutions to get the brand and hash tag, #tinning, onto the poncho, creating visuals for the client and final artwork for production. We are very pleased with the results. The poncho is durable, reusable, washable, waterproof (with taped seams) and a slight variation on our standard PACMAT...

We're off to Glastonbury. From our experience of camping, festivals and rain we've packed a few essentials: Boot jackAfter a trip through toilet mud nobody will want to give you a hand pulling your boots off.  Plastic bagsMake sure you have a spare set of dry clothes in the tent. Keep them wrapped in a plastic bag. Spare bags will also come in handy for rubbish. And leave your wellies outside the tent and pop a plastic bag over the top of them to keep them dry inside. Head torchKeep your hands free to fumble for things with a bit of light. Travel JohnJust incase...
