Although a weekend at a British music festival tends to be cheaper than a holiday or staycation, costs can add up - particularly if you leave preparation until the last minute. Whether you’re a first-timer or a Glastonbury veteran, it’s always important to budget and plan ahead to make sure that you don’t overspend.
To help Brits save money ahead of the festival season, CashLady.com has partnered with thrifty festivalgoer, Alex Fisher, to share her top savings tips. Alex is a seasoned festivalgoer from Manchester, having attended more than 20 festivals and counting at the age of 27. Her seven tips aim to help first-time festival attendees or those simply looking to cut costs on their trip, and could help you save up to £186, she reckons.
Alex said: “British festivals are the best part of the summer for me. I started going regularly as a student, so I’m more than used to planning my trip on a budget. Once you’ve bought the festival ticket, it can be daunting when you realise the additional costs that come with it, from travel to camping essentials.
