Camp bestival-Festival ethos

The festival is also heavily involved in supporting social, political and environmental causes. The 2006 Bestival featured Brian Eno backing a stop the Iraq war campaign. Bestival also aims to be Carbon neutral, not only via Carbon offsetting but also by reducing forms of other waste and emissions however, as yet this has not been fully implemented and Bestival has yet to be nominated for a Green Festival Award.
Bestival has, however, been nominated for several other awards at the UK Festival Awards, having won the best medium sized festival in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
The Bestival is often described as a "boutique festival" due to its non-corporate feel. It is also known for piloting odd and innovative ideas, including an inflatable church where people can get married. Other features include the "Breastival", a quiet Yurt designated for mothers and their breast-feeding children. The local Women's Institute has also been involved by providing refreshments for a minimal price.Camp Bestival is set to return in 2011 with a bumper line up including appearances from Blondie, Mark Ronson and more.

camp bestival -Festival ethos

Besides being generally smaller, there are several qualities that make the Bestival different from the Isle of Wight Festival. It is considered more alternative and diverse, offering a large selection of vegetarian foods; a dressing up tent and a 'secret stage'.
Bestival is well known for its fancy dress themed days (usually the Saturday of the festival). In 2005, an attempt was made to set the Guinness World Record for most people in fancy dress at any one event. By 2010 this was achieved, when 55,000 festival goers set a new Guinness World Record.Camp Bestival is set to return in 2011 with a bumper line up including appearances from Blondie, Mark Ronson and more.
