About this festival

Join us aboard the HMS Bestival for the sail of the season! Hosted at Robin Hill Country Park on the Isle of Wight, the beautiful (and hilly!) site features a mix of woodland, water and open fields which will be magically transformed into the Ambient forest, Bollywood field, Wishing Tree field, Magic Meadow and many more. 

Bestival is a mid-size festival, catering to around 30,000 party people and with a more adult crowd than its family-orientated sister fest, Camp Bestival. It's a combination of creativity and great line-ups, fancy dress silliness and eclectic artistry. Aside from the music, you'll find comedy, great food, and even the WI with their homemade cakes and a toboggan run!

2013 is the festival's 10th year anniversary and looks set to be a great one, with Elton John and Snoop Dogg already announced as headliners. Our fingers are firmly crossed for an 'indian summer' this September, to round up festival season in style on our very own tropical island!
