Already fit to burst with myriad musical pleasures including Friendly Fires, Madness, The Human League and George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic,  Camp Bestival  announce their fabled Fancy Dress theme, as overwhelmingly voted for by members of the Camp Bestival forum, and copious comedic treats that will keep you laughing long into the night!

Adding even more enchanting excitement to Camp Bestival's spine-tingling melting pot, this year's fancy dress theme will be the wonderful world of Fairy Tales. With a wealth of legends and fables to draw upon the sky's the limit when it comes to all of the wondrous princes, princesses, mythical beats and magical beings that will transform Lulworth Castle into a rapturous kingdom of make believe. With a huge fancy dress parade planned for Sunday it's destined to be a feast of folkloric frolicking!

With all the dressing up fun well and truly under control Camp Bestival are super-excited to announce a horde of wags and wisecrackers joining the previously announced Jim Jefferies, Marcus Brigstocke, Andrew Maxwell and Andre Vincent for their Jestival Sessions. Taking place in both the East Lulworth Literary Institute and the Big Top Arena the Jestival Sessions will showcase the best of the comedy scene including musical mirth maker Tim Minchin. Wildly unorthodox, brilliantly non-traditional and vividly unique, his acclaimed act not only offers quick-witted observations and rapid-fire delivery, but also the striking sound of an accomplished pianist… albeit a barefoot one.

Recently acclaimed for his show-stopping take on Cheryl Cole's 'Fight For This Love' that brought him dancing glory as the winner of Let's Dance for Sport Relief, Rufus Hound already known to millions as a captain on Argumental will also be on hand to demonstrate his sublimely subtle story telling and rabble-rousing repartee in all its glory. Other rib-tickling comedy acts confirmed for the weekend include former Chortle best newcomer Carl Donnelly, notorious Canadian stand-up Craig Campbell, India's finest comic export Papa CJ, BBC Radio 4 regular Mitch Benn, the exuberant Rob Rouse, Rudetube's Matt Kirshen, the darkly delicious Pete Cain, fast-paced gag-master Tiernan Douieb, the taboo busting Tiffany Stevenson and self confessed shenaniganist Tim Fitzhigham.
