Got £200 to spare? Why not go to a festival? The season may have only just ended but tickets for next year are already set to be released kicking off with Glastonbury on October 7.
Your ticket will give you access to a shanty-like town with a sea of tents packed so tightly together you will not be able to walk anywhere and people will be walking around in fancy dress as though it is deemed normality.
At night your earplugs will be tested to the maximum, as you will be bombarded with the sounds of shouting, fighting and the repetitive beats from the DJ tents.
You will wake up feeling tired and moody and this will get worse as the days go on… along with the stench of the toilets.
That is if you can call them toilets – they are literally a box of wood with a hole in them.
But of course the main reason you will be attending the festival is for the live music.
After a 15-minute battle through the mud you will reach the stage where you and 30,000 others, who have not showered for three days, will try to sardine under a tent to see your favourite artist.
If you can’t fit under the tent don’t worry. You can watch the artist perform on a TV screen outside in the rain, which you could have just done in the comfort of your own home.
Sound appealing? Spend your £200. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.
