Bestival will have a circus theme when it relocates to Dorset next year.

After a long stay on the Isle Of Wight which had seen it grow into one of the UK’s biggest summer events, complaints of down-scaling on site this year soon led to plans for a relocation onto the mainland and the Lulworth Estate in Dorset.




The familiar themes continue though, and have been detailed today by organiser Rob Da Bank:

“Yes fellow Bestivalites it’s time to run away and join the Circus, Bestival style! Bearded freaks, insane acrobats, high wire daredevils, mutant jugglers and an out of control ringmaster all eager for you to join the most colourful show on earth await!”

“And what makes this show even more unmissable is we have moved into peak season August style and will be open a month earlier than usual…so what are you waiting for?”

The festival will run between August 2nd-5th 2018.
