Camp Bestival - the 'must see' list by Charlie (7yrs)...



With under 10 sleeps to go til Camp Bestival, I'd love to share with you the acts and activities that Charlie is desperate to see and join in with.

1.  Medieval Jousting
Fans young and old can join in the drama and excitement as their roars of encouragement (and boos for the baddies of course) help thrust their favourite Knights to glory. Absorb the thrilling atmosphere of horses, heraldry, flags and fanfare as the chivalrous Knights perform breathtaking stunts featuring incredible equestrian expertise, nerve-shredding foot combat and skilful swordsmanship in their fearless jousting tournament.

2. Wall of Death
Making a triumphant return to Camp Bestival is Ken Fox's Wall of Death. Loud, exciting and unbelievable; watch the Fox familly defy gravity, tearing up the wall on their roaring motorbikes. Ken is renowned as the world's leading Wall of Death rider and has been riding walls since he was 13 (don't get any ideas kids!). One not to miss.

3.  Freesports Park
The Freesports Park is back once again and will feature displays from some of the most radical riders around in the sports of Mountain Board Freestyle and Big Air, Mountain Bike Freestyle Jumping, Mountain Bike Trials, BMX, Inline, Skate and Parkour.

4.  Horrible Histories
Prepare yourselves for the delightfully ghastly Horrible Histories, presenting the festival premiere of their new theatre show, Barmy Britain! Performed live on the Castle Stage at Camp Bestival, we can’t wait to be horrified by their disgusting revelations.  Have you ever wondered why the Romans never won MasterChef? What if a Viking moved in next door? Would you lose your heart or head to horrible Henry? Will Parliament escape gunpowder Guy? Enrol yourself at Georgian Crime School, dare to dance the Tyburn jig and find out what a baby farmer did!  Set in loathsome London, the BSC’s Horrible Histories: Barmy Britain follows their acclaimed productions of Terrible Tudors, Vile Victorians, Awful Egyptians and Ruthless Romans.

And of course, face painting, eating lots of crepes, dancing, and generally giggling all of the time!  Next up it's Rufus' picks.

Tickets for Camp Bestival are still available - you can buy them here.
