Roll up! Roll up! Next year's theme for Dorset's Camp Bestival has been revealed as 'Circus!'.

The family friendly Camp Bestival which offers a wealth of entertainment alongside the music, returns in 2014 from Thursday 31st July to Sunday 3rd August, at the picturesque setting of Lulworth Castle, set against the backdrop of England's dramatic Jurassic coastline in Dorset.!

Camp Bestival Ringmaster Rob da Bank said, “Roll up, roll up, it’s circus time at Camp Bestival! Right from the start of putting on parties, back in the old days, we’ve always loved a bit of circus ballyhoo, no party is complete without a juggler or an acrobat, a hula-hooper or a contortionist and we promise that Camp Bestival 2014 won’t disappoint. We can’t wait here at Camp Besti HQ to get into the ring, so grab your greasepaint, get your costumes ready and we’ll see you at the end of July to kick off the school summer holidays in style!”

Camp Bestival will be bringing an array of spectacular attractions and awesome shows and the thrill of both the traditional and the modern circus to their four-day festi-holiday paradise. They want all attendees to get involved too, from moustachioed musclemen, lion tamers and high wire trapeze artists to performing seals, ringmasters and clowns, there’s a whole universe of possibilities to dress up and join in the fun.
