Yes we know that rumours have been awash on the Wight as to what the fancy dress theme will be at Bestival this year – but we can confirm tonight – exclusively on VentnorBlog – that the theme is something very nautical (and naughty if you fancy) – 30,000 freaks under the sea!
It’s party time in a few months time on the Wight and judging on past performance, Bestival certainly know how to throw one.
Every year the theme changes, as Bestival make the record books for the largest fancy dress parade in the world. We wonder whether they’re going to call in the Guinness World of Records this year?
Well, here’s Bestival Head Honcho and soon to be resident of the Wight, Rob Da Bank to tell you.
‘We wracked our collective brains ’til they turned to custard and eventually came up with ‘30,000 FREAKS UNDER THE SEA’ – essentially another open-ended theme open to abuse and many different angles which we hope you’ll follow!
This year we’ll do a night parade as well as daytime one, so make sure you light up bright – calling all pesky squids, little urchins, deep sea divers and Yellow Submarines!
After a successful partnership last year, Jokers Masquerade are back on board (thankfully not over board) and you should definitely check out their website for loads of great fancy dress ideas.
