Let's Have a Larry Going to a Festival Day
Music, crowds and fun — know what to expect and how to cope.
What Are We Doing?
A festival is a big outdoor event with music, dancing, food and lots of people. It's busy, colourful and exciting, and it can also be loud and crowded.
What Might Happen?
Here's what your day might look like, step by step.
Arrive and walk in
Park, walk to the entrance and go through the gate.
Find your way
Look at the map and find the stages and toilets.
Music and shows
Watch bands, dance and join in.
Food and drink
Find a food stall and eat together.
Quiet break
Find a calm space if it gets too much.
Getting home
Meet up, walk to the car and go home.
What Might It Feel Like?
It helps to know how things might feel before you go.
Very loud
Music and crowds can be really noisy — ear defenders help.
Big crowds
There are lots and lots of people everywhere.
Bright and colourful
Lights, flags and decorations everywhere.
Long day
Festivals last a long time — you'll get tired.
Exciting!
It can be the best day ever, with breaks.
