Dubious Morals Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hello all. I missed Bestival last year, having been in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The big news last year seemed to be The Port. What's it like? Where is it? Did it replace something? I'm having trouble picturing it in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zacko Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 I'm not sure if it replaced something in particular? (Someone correct me on this though if I'm wrong!) It's right at the bottom of the field with the helter skelter thing and the toboggan ride in, It's bloody brilliant. I was very surprised by how big the crowds were, some of the DJs got absolutely massive amounts of people, it's sorta hard to picture unless you see it in person, the pictures don't really do it justice haha.

smogo Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's amazing, it's a dry-docked boat with a DJ booth cut out of it, and two decks which are generally populated by dancers and fire breathers. Oh, and flames come out of the funnels. There's also a crane situated next to it, which is used for aerial acts who fly above the crowd. And at night it has the most incredible laser shows I've ever seen. It's where Pig's Big Ballroom used to be (and where the main stage was back in the early days); Pig's Big Ballroom has now moved to where the roller disco used to be, and last year was done up nautical style, as if it was a ship's ballroom.

Paul ™ Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) It replaced Arcadia, it's a stage that looks like a boat Edited March 17, 2014 by Paul ™ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey1989 Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I didn't like the crane it looked like they were still building the set , I know it was for the acrobats but they could have dressed it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slugworth Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I would have just done away with the crane. The acrobatics didn't really do it for me. The Port is probably the best area of any festival i've been too. In my opinion it beats Arcadia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wykes Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 The sound is ace, and the Port finishes at 3am. I heard that it was 4/5am finishes this year. Guessing the port will be 4 and the big top possibly an hour later if we're lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff_Sav Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Also the thought of John Talabot in Bollywood is ridiculous I love Bollywood, but wish they would open the sides up and let some air in.
