Weird and wacky wildlife at Bestival
By Emma Philo Sat, 08 September 2012 8:57PM

From the weird, wacky and wonderful to the cool and creative, Bestival-goers went back to nature for this year’s fancy dress theme.

‘Wildlife’ was chosen by Bestival organisers as the must-have look for the 2012 event, with the Robin Hill site teaming with bears, badgers as well as foxes and felines of all varieties.

On Saturday afternoon, a fancy dress parade wound its way across the vast site giving a carnival atmosphere to the proceedings – and proving that Bestival isn’t just about the 300 music acts on offer across more than 20 stages.
