The festival has also announced that there's another chance to enter the beardy competition that is Folk Idol - Britain's got beards!. There are three rules to appearing which are:

1) wear a false beard and/or folk costume
2) sing a classic folk song
3) get judged by a panel of folk experts

Completing the newly announced entertainment are Tangled Feet who will present 'I Confess' a one-to-one storytelling piece set inside a confessional booth in The Dingly Dell. Gaining audience and critical acclaim in its Edinburgh and London runs, I Confess promises a life affirming experience.

Festival organiser, Rob da Bank, said, "Anyone with a child younger than 4 or 5 will know the story of The Gruffalo ... in fact most of my mates without kids know it better than Dickens or Shakespeare which is kind of worrying yet also proof that we needed this show hot off Broadway to come to the Camp! With two shows over the weekend so no-one need miss it, this will be a highlight I'm sure. Add in the hottest tipped artist of 2010 Ellie Goulding, my old mates Zero 7 DJing, Tinie Tempah rippin' it up and ukuleles, folky beards and rave synthesisers it's all shaping up rather nicely!"
