The A-Z of Camp Bestival 2010

A. Acrobatics There will be plenty of acrobatics on display from Zippo’s Festival Circus, the Roundhouse Circus Company, the Insect Circus and the Big Top Mania Crew.

B. Boutique Babysitting The Kids Club under Canvas gives you the chance to have a care-free few hours whilst the kids have a blast.

C. Cabanas Why not hire one (for a Birthday Party, family picnic or a surprise treat) and check out the main stage in super slick style? The ultimate, intimate VIP area, the Kids can have a kip in luxury out the back while you bop to the Castle Stage’s musical delights.

D. Bill Drummond/The 17 Become a member of The17: Bill Drummond’s (KLF, Timelords etc) choir. In this exclusive UK appearance, Bill will work with 10 groups of 17 people to record one of his scores. These will be combined and played back to the entire audience at Camp Bestival on Sunday night. Sign up at the Sunday Best tent on site and get involved!

E. East Lulworth Literary Institute A feast of food for your brains, from Spoken Word and Poetry to How To sessions with William Orbit and Andrea Arnold and The Hip Hop Shakespeare Company there’s something for all the family. And don’t forget you can head to the Penguin Children’s Book Tent for some story time fun.

F. Fairy Tale Fancy Dress Whether you make your own costume or check out Smiffy’s and the Dressing Up Area on site, make sure you join in on Saturday, as we turn Lulworth Castle into a magical land of make believe.

(NB: the main Fancy Dress day will be Saturday and not Sunday as previously announced, although by all means get dressed up on both days!)

G. The Gruffalo We’ve got two showings of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s award winning story performed by Tall Stories whose unique brand of physical story theatre has taken them around the world. The show will bring to life the amazing story of the clever Mouse’s journey through the forest as he beguiles the creatures who’d like to eat him with tales of his friend the Gruffalo’s terrible tusks and terrible claws, until he encounters the Gruffalo’s terrible teeth in his terrible jaws for himself. Don’t miss it.

H. The House of Fairy Tales A fun-filled parallel world created by renowned artists Deborah Curtis and Gavin Turk that will keep you entertained for hours.

I. Isle of Boden A brand new area where you can catch Howard Marks and Billy Bragg reading bedtime stories, attend the School of Rock and catch DJ Sets from the likes of Zero 7, Friendly Fires, DJ Yoda, Suggs and Rob da Bank.

J. Jousting Don’t miss the Knights of Lulworth Castle, performed by Horses Impossible, clashing lances and dodging burning maces. It’s a truly amazing spectacle.

K. Kids Garden This year it’s double the size and double the fun with a treasure trove of good stuff to keep the little’uns happy all day long.

L. Lulworth Castle The picturesque backdrop to a magical weekend!

M. Music! As you’d expect we’ve got a veritable smörgåsbord of aural treats from Friendly Fires, Madness, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Calvin Harris, Chipmunk, The Human League, The Fall and The Cuban Brothers to Annie Mac, DJ Yoda, Mr Scruff, The Nextmen featuring MC Wrec, DJ Derek, Sombrero Sound System and Fear of Theydon, every angle is covered.

N. New stuff There’s loads of new things to check out at Camp Bestival 2010, from the Freestyle Sports Park and Johnson’s Baby Change Garden to Hendrick’s Horseless Carriage of Curiosities and SingStar’s Cocktail & Dreams arena where you can sing your heart out alongside special performances from 80s heroes including T’Pau’s Carol Decker and the original Bucks Fizz.    

O. Over 100 free things for kids to do From three appearances from Mr Tumble and tap dancing lessons to making balloon animals and learning about science the fun way with Punk Science, there’s so much to do.

P. Parcour Be amazed by the freestyle running displays at the Freestyle Sports Park, you can also catch skateboard and BMX displays and if you bring your board or bike you can even have a go.

Q. Queues! There won’t be many at Camp Bestival as we’ve added lots more facilities including food stalls and toilets to make sure you spend most of your time having fun.

R. River Cottage Café Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s incredible food-spot that proved a huge hit last year with its delicious food and nettle beer!
