Don’t forget your sequins, top hats.. or whips!
Circus v Carnival Dress Up on Saturday Night!
Saturday night is ‘The Great Sunrise Dress-Up’ — a night of fancy-dress to ramp up the high jinx and capers! This year, in tribute to our new Circus Stage and Carnival Field, we’re hosting the grand Circus v Carnival dress-up!
Who’ll draw the biggest crowd? The 
sequinned babes or the crazy clowns?
Whether you’re tall or short, stout or skinny, versed in the carnival arts or an average Joe (we know that nobody is really an average Joe!) there’s a character inside you somewhere! From lion tamers to burlesque dancers, whatever takes your fancy goes – but if you’re going for x-rated, leave it till after dusk so the kiddies are out of the way! There are plenty of fun activities to get involved in, including Tugs of War and other themed games… and some prizes to win as well!
Don’t worry if you didn’t get it together before the festival – there are plenty of places on site to funk up your threads throughout the festival. Go and check out the Swap Derby, the Floating Hat Collective or the ubiquitous Ladybird Project for something to razzle dazzle your Saturday night in? Otherwise, have a wander through the dress-up stalls in the carnival field, or feast your eyes upon the range of samba dresses and corset ringmaster jackets in the ethical fashion area next to the Pussyfoot Lounge.
