Bestival
11-13th September 2009

Bestival's curator is none other than Rob da Bank and Bestival is described as being the festival for those who refuse to grow up!

This one's set in beautiful parkland on the Isle Of Wight and  have won plenty of awards for their efforts. Once again Bestival organisers will be opening a Pandora’s box of tantalizing treats... Bestival isn’t just a stunning music festival, it’s a 3-day wonderland of outlandish adventure and unparalleled escapism. Unlike any other festival experience around, the eye-catching adornments and magical mood throughout the fields of fun offer up endless pleasures, where fancy dress is the norm and tea and cake is always a good idea.

Expect frolicking aplenty and be prepared to get all dressed up as you boogie on down for the 7th mind-blowing spectacular where you'll find masses of entertainment packed into the venue for this stunning festival with cocktail bars, laughter clubs, a farmers market, kids area, morris dancing, Knitting tents and the inevitable dressing up box, of course there will be more - much more and all will be revealed in the fullness of time...

Emma Goes to Bestival
I have just got back from the wettest and muddiest weekend I have ever been on. I had a fantastic weekend, I can't stop smiling and I have fallen in love with the festival that is Bestival.
