An Overview Of Festival Trollies
Carrying your festival gear across muddy fields, gravel tracks, or long walkways can be exhausting — especially if you're camping for the weekend. A foldable trolley or festival cart is one of those "why didn’t I bring this sooner?" items that can save you time, effort, and sore shoulders.
Why Bring a Trolley or Cart?
- Save Your Energy: Avoid multiple trips and lugging heavy backpacks or crates across festival grounds.
- All-Terrain Wheels: Wide wheels help navigate grass, mud, bumps, and uneven surfaces with ease.
- Compact & Foldable: Most trollies and carts fold flat, making them easy to store in your car or tent.
- Heavy Load Capacity: Many models can carry 100–150kg — ideal for transporting tents, food, water, and more.
Trolley & Cart Types
- Folding Wagons: The most popular choice for festivals. Spacious, sturdy, and easy to steer.
- Sack Barrows: A lighter alternative that folds smaller but may be less durable on rough ground.
Tips for Using a Trolley or Cart at a Festival:
- Pack Strategically: Place heavy items at the bottom for balance and easier pulling.
- Watch the Weather: Wet grass and steep slopes can make pulling harder — wide wheels help!
- Label Your Gear: In busy areas, it’s easy to get trollies mixed up — add a flag or label.
- Check Festival Rules: Some events have guidelines on what equipment is allowed through the gates.
Some of the larger festivals offer trollies for hire at the entrance. You’ll usually need to leave a deposit, and there may be queues or limited availability on arrival — so bringing your own is often the more convenient option.
Travelling with Kids?
Some festival-goers use trollies or carts to pull young children around the site — especially when little legs get tired at family-friendly events. If you're considering this, look for a model that clearly states it's safe for carrying passengers, with reinforced sides, a stable base, and suitable weight limits.
However, most trollies aren’t certified for child transport, so use caution and never leave children unattended inside. Uneven ground, crowded areas, or poor weather can all pose risks.
Pro tip: A trolley or cart is also great for ferrying water and supplies mid-festival — especially if you're in a group or camping far from taps or food stalls.
