Summer is most definitely upon us and with Glastonbury set to kick off this week, Primark have gone all out to offer shoppers festival outfits and accessories on a budget. With prices ranging between £4 and £25 across a variety of items, there really is a lot to choose from.
On the Primark website, the high street brand even has a dedicated section for all their “festival clothes” but of course you can wear whatever you want to a festival - there is no dress code after all. But with so much to choose from and the weather to take into account, it can be hard to know what to take and what to leave behind.
We headed down to the Primark in Broadmead to have a look to see what was on offer in store ahead of Glastonbury this weekend.
