Bestival Fancy Dress Theme 2013

2013 has not just seen the return of Glastonbury after it’s 2 year break… But it will also see Bestival hitting those magic double figures! That’s right, Bestival is ten this year and to celebrate, they are really “pushing the boat out” (pardon the pun) for what promises to be one hell of a party. Famous for their OTT fancy dress themes and epic line ups, festival goers to this years Bestival will be treated to a "Nautical But Nice" theme. Yes, you are cordially invited to jump aboard HMS Bestival!

In the words of your dear Captain:

“All the nice girls love a sailor and all the boys love a mermaid. Think deckhands, anchors, beach parties, Moby Dick, tattooed ladies, Titanic, shipwrecks, Hawaii, Treasure Island, rum bars in scuzzy ports, message in a bottle, the crow’s nest, sea legends, monster breakers and tall tales of life on the ocean waves. Nautical but nice! There’s no better time to join the good ship HMS Bestival and our trusty crew of merrimakers than now, so get your 2013 tickets and prepare to set sail me hearties!” HMS Bestival skipper Rob da Bank Wonder if these festival goers from 2008 will recycle their Titanic themed Fancy dress?!

As they prepare to set sail this September, HMS Bestival has already enlisted an enviable band of salty sea dogs to come aboard, from legendary headliners Elton John and Snoop Dogg to our personal faves The Strypes (touring with the Arctic Moneys this Autumn) Tom Odell (recent Brit winner) and album chart toppers Bastille.

Tempted?? Then grab yourself some fancy dress and head on down! We have a fab range of Sailor fancy dress that would be perfect for this years Nautical theme.

GNO TIP: Get yourself and your pals matching outfits and make your own crew! You could get white personalised Tshirts with blue text and then complete your look with our Sailor fancy dress accessories. We love the Sailor neck ties for creating an instant look. Plus our cute Sailor Hats are perfect for hiding that festival hair!

The list of artists performing at Bestival 2013 include: Elton John, Snoop Dogg, M.I.A, Franz Ferdinand, The Flaming Lips, Wu-Tang Clan, Bombay Bicycle Club, The Roots, Belle & Sebastian and more.

When is Bestival 2013? The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th September 2013.

Where is Bestival? Isle of Wight

Bestival 2013 ticket prices: Teen Weekend Tickets - £127 – £158 Adult Weekend Tickets - £180 - £316 Campervan Tickets - £90 (per vehicle)

Set Sail girls! Love the Girly Night Scout XOXO
