At the end of July we were at Lulworth Castle at the wonderful Camp Bestival. It was a great weekend weather wise, not too hot all of the time but dry at least. Although we got messy, it wasn’t the knee deep in mud kind of messy you saw at Glastonbury this year.

We went armed with tons of baby wipes and we were so glad we did.

There are literally tons of different things you end up using a baby wipe for at a festival…here are just a few:

• Cleaning mucky faces
• Cleaning mucky fingers
• Cleaning dusty shoes
• Cleaning out the trolley (the one we pulled all the children around in) from the debris of each day

• Cleaning the floor of the tent
• Wiping out the potty
• Wiping suspicious looking loo seats
• General body wiping when you can’t get to the showers
• Facial cleansing and removing make up, face paint and glitter

• Regular nappy changes
• Wrapping around ice creams to prevent dripping
• Cleaning up all manor of spillages
• Wiping sun cream off hands
• Waving in the air to show you’ve got a good spot by the stage
• Wiping cutlery
• Catching runny noses
• Wiping the dust off pretty much everything before it goes back in the car

Basically…don’t go to a festival without them!
