When you will arrive in Durham, you will be directed to one of the main sleeping sites. This will be either a main hall, a huge room or a church, intended to be used by a large number of people to sleep in for the weekend. Think of it as a giant sleep-over in a friends giant front room.

So, the most important thing you will need is a sleeping bag and a roll mat can be nice and useful if you don’t want to sleep directly on the floor. Apart from that, everything is extra, for you own comfort. Torch and ear plugs are pretty good options. All the rest is up to you...

You won't need a tent, groundsheet, fifteen blankets and a woolly hat to stay warm in but you'll still need everything else you would take away with you. Have a look at the 'What to Bring' list to make sure you've got it all.
