After starting out in 2004 Bestival was founded by the well-known Rob da Bank and has become one of the most celebrated festivals in the UK. Attracting at least 50,000 people to the beautiful Isle of Wight, the festival has some of the best acts on offer from Dizzee Rascal to the new Ellie Goulding. With a pop and electronic feel, escape to the diverse music event this summer and take home some permanent memories with you. If you love dressing up and acting that bit different, then Bestival invites you to come. With their themed fancy dress day held every year, join in with the colourful array of fans and be part of the fun. Figures have successfully increased since its first stint in 2004 making Bestival a truly energetic and thriving festival to be a part of.

With six stages, Bestival is jam-packed with sparkling acts and bands that haven’t been forgotten. Uncover music you never thought you’d like and soak up the dynamic atmosphere. Lose your mind in their bars and relax under the branches of the Wishing Tree. Whatever your reason for becoming part of the thousands of supporters, you will be in a wonderland of fun.Originally attracting up to 10,000 people in 2004, the festival now draws in over 50,000 people and has become one of Isle of Wight’s most popular music events. The event is known for providing a selection of different foods, including vegetarian options. In addition, due to its chic atmosphere Bestival manages to come up with new and quirky ideas each year such as an inflatable church in which festival-goers can marry in.

Over the years Bestival has been trying it’s hardest to grow to be a Carbon neutral festival, encouraging festival-goers to become green and help the environment by taking public transport to the event and cleaning up their own rubbish. On top of this, the festival’s crazy and wacky approach led them to keep a day back especially for fancy dress and in 2005, Bestival tried to set a new Guinness World Record for as many people in fancy dress at one festival. Between 2004 and 2011, Bestival has added new areas for festival-goers to visit. These include the purposely placed Restival where people can rejuvenate and relax after acquiring aches and pains, the Jestival for people who like to laugh until they cry and watch some of the current and legendary comedians to date and last but far from least, the efficient Breastival where mothers among the event can breast-feed their children in the privacy of an exclusive Yurt. With all of this and more, it’s no wonder the number of attendees at Bestival increases every year.
