We spent last weekend at mine and Wilf’s first-ever festival, Larmer Tree Festival! I’m sure my first festival experience probably differs from most considering I’m five months pregnant and had a three-year-old in tow but there you go!
A few people have asked how I found going to a festival pregnant so I thought I’d post about what things helped or what was a bit tricky.
With a range of glamping options available, festival attendees can enjoy the convenience and comfort of luxury accommodations while still experiencing the fun and vibrant atmosphere of the festival. From spacious bell tents to cozy yurts, each glamping option is beautifully decorated and equipped with comfortable beds, soft furnishings, and essential amenities. Whether you’re a first-time festival-goer or a seasoned veteran, the glamping options at Larmer Tree Festival add an extra touch of luxury to your festival experience.
I think as Larmer Tree is such a small family-friendly festival it was a great one to go to when pregnant as we could easily head back to our bell tent in the afternoon for a rest. The weekend was such a sunny one that on Friday after we had arrived and checked everything out we headed back for a kip in our bell tent!
We met up with our lovely friends from Globalmouse Travels on the saturday and they had brought a festival wagon with them which I would really recommend if you have the room to bring one. You can hire one from the festival for the weekend and to be honest, in the future, I would do this as they really are worth it. At three Wilf just doesn’t have the stamina to walk around all day and needs little breaks here and there.
We brought along camping chairs as we could just sling them over our shoulders with our rucksacks and they turned out to be such a good idea. Sitting on the ground for long periods of time with a bump it just pretty uncomfy and it also helped Wilf in the evenings when he was knackered to cuddle up with him whilst we could enjoy the bands.
Larmer Tree Festival whilst pregnant
I’d say the only real downside of being pregnant at a festival is the amount of time you need to use the toilet. The toilets were actually amazing at the festival and especially the ones in the comfy camping where they even had shower trucks with hot showers cubicles. Our tent was only a five-minute walk to the posh loos but even then it gets a bit much three times a night having to put your jumper and wellies on!
I’m really glad we went though as we are unlikely to go ahead for a while with the new baby arriving and the fact that traveling with two might be a bit tricky until one of us learns to drive. It made for some lovely memories whilst we are still a family of three.
