It's always great to see kids learning new skills from circus skills to art and craft activities and bush crafting skills.  New for this year are the kids passports, encouraging the kids to try new skills and visit the entertainers around the park, including the new Navigation Town, stamp the passports at the many passport stations around the park with tasks from finding new friends to activities and more.  The new Navigation Town provides hours of family entertainment from an array of festival  performers and entertainers.

The Camp Bestival App has made life really simple this year, real time updates as lineups change and helpful advice and tips shared throughout the weekend..... For those that like to collect the programme and lanyards, these are still available to purchase at merchandise stands.
