What’s It About?  Bestival is simply the happiest bounciest friendliest festival on the calendar. It mixes up a wide range of music, pulls in some great headliners and people rock around in fancy dress. What a fab way to end the main festival season, we love it.

Mixing up loud and proud DJ sets with the best of alternative guitar bands previous headliners have included Scissor Sisters, Beastie Boys, Fatboy Slim and Basement Jaxx - you get the idea, this festival is uber-cool.  Alongside the big names you’ll find great emerging artists, quirky comedians, a chill out area, poetry and even beatboxing.

Book Now If You Love:  Fancy dress, funky sounds, flaking out.

Don’t Miss:  The Come Dancing Spiegeltent...watch this space for more line up news.

Red Cow said on 12th September ... "beautiful island in the sun. Put your fancy dressed hands in the air - brazzillian hippy-hop, ballroom dancer and bubbles everywhere. Horarce Andy the smoothist cat on the planet and Mike D, a Diamond Geezer bemused by an audience of costumed clowns. Fave banter " Put your hands in the air - that includes you Scooby Doo!"

As Russ once said " I love a party with a happy atmosphere!""

bellafrancesca said on 23rd August ... "Absolutely the BEST place to cheer anyone up after the summer that has not been! So much to see and do - really eclectic mix of people, sights and sounds. Be warned: happiness is infectious, and there is definitely no room for attitudes here. "
