Bestival Wins 'Best Medium-Sized Festival'
Thank you for voting for us!!!
We are very proud to announce that we have won 'Best Medium-Sized Festival' at the UK Festival Awards... for the third year running, making it a whopping hat-trick voted for by the public - the people whose opinions really count.
"John, Josie, Ziggy and myself can't believe we made it a hat-trick winning Best Medium-Sized Festival for the third year running! We're so chuffed that so many of the mad Bestivalites voted for us and congrats to the Isle of Wight rock festival for winning Best Major Festival too - big up the Isle of Wight, it's now officially the centre of the universe!" Rob da Bank
Congratulations to all the other winners too... you can check out who won what by heading over to www.festivalawards.com
We have a double reason for celebration as this award coincides with the announcement of our newest venture - Camp Bestival. A sister event to September's flagship festival, Camp Bestival is set in the grounds of Lulworth Castle, Dorset taking place on the 18, 19, 20 July 2008. Inspired by the halcyon days of summers past, imagine the 1950s British Holiday Camp with a twist and you'll be on the money. As ever there'll be a super live music line-up programmed by the big daddy himself Rob da Bank (soon to be revealed!). In true Bestival style the music will be diverse and will tickle all taste buds with a Main Stage, the new 'Insect Stage', a Balearic Bollywood arena, the Rock n Roll tent and the magnificent Spiegel tent for Come Dancing dance offs. All this plus Comedy, Spoken Word with special guests, Theatre in the Woods, Films projected on the Castle Walls, Fireworks, a super Kids Area and fun on tap!
