This is an incomplete list and only a suggestion!

== Vital stuff ==
* Tent (or space in someone else's)
* Bedding - a sleeping bag and a pillow, plus extra blankets in case it is cold
* Clean clothes
* A towel (we have showers!)
* Shower gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, etc.
* Torch. The site will be well lit but there will be darker bits (e.g. inside your tent)
* Food and/or money for food (the bar will do cashback if you need more money)
* Walking boots or wellies (the site is a field, good shoes are a must)
* Water proofs. This is the UK: we do wet.
* Warm clothing, for evenings and sleeping in if it gets cold
* Rucksack (or similar) for carrying valuables about with you (tents are NOT secure & we cannot guarantee things will be safe anywhere on site)
* Medicines, hayfever tablets (you will be surrounded by hay bales all day)
* Sun cream and/or a sun hat
* Your EMF ticket (printed or saved on your phone)

== Useful things to bring ==
* A 20-30m power lead. If you can, a 16A plug on the end is useful.
* A long (as long as the power lead) ethernet cable to connect your tent (although we have WiFi as well).
* Computer, both for personal use and many of our workshops will use them
* Charging gear (for phones, laptops etc.)
* Europe to UK plug adaptors (if you have non-UK equipment)
* Making gear (for any/all of your hobbies)
* Mug, useful for food & drink (when not got from vendors)
* Tape, gaffer, LX, what ever, always useful for fixing things wot break (like tents)
* Pen and paper
* A water bottle and/or mug
* Bin bags (for rubbish and dirty clothes)
* A few gold and silver space blankets and clothes pins to cover your tent and prevent it from turning into an oven in the morning sun

== Advice for villages/large groups ==
* A small camping kettle may come in handy (larger kettles require care). We have food and drink vendors on site.
* A camping stove shouldn't be needed, but will be permitted as long as it's off the ground.
* A network switch may reduce the amount of network cabling required but please inform [[Team:NOC|NOC]] you have a switch. Wireless access points are not allowed.
* The switches in the DK's won't all do 10Mbit, so if you need 10Mbit connectivity (e.g. for old or embedded things) please bring a switch.
* A mini fridge may be useful for storing milk

== Things to avoid if possible ==
* Glass bottles: broken glass is a pain to clean up.
* Being on fire.
* Repeatedly jumping on a pile of bean bags in the lounge: bean bag balls are a pain to clean up.
