Enjoy carnival fun at Bestival 2011

Posted by Linda Davidson

Owners of Whale caravan taps and music fans have been told that the line up for Bestival 2011 does not disappoint.

Taking a trip to the Isle of Wight in September for the event is definitely recommended, according to Simon Butcher, editor of music website Northern Noise.

He said that for a small festival, there are a huge number of big names on stage and caravanners are likely to have a great time, as the event's popularity just keeps on growing.

"The array of diversity on display, with everything from Pendulum to Paloma Faith, ensures that everyone will have a stand-out moment to cherish," said Mr Butcher.

He added that the success of the music festival is down to its laid back atmosphere: " The fancy dress themes, secret stage, inflatable churches and other innovative ideas really add to a carnival spirit not usually found at other more homogenous festivals."

Caravanners with more of a sedate break in mind may want to head to Harrogate, as a representative of the town's Tourist Team said that visitors will be spoilt for choice for things to do.
