Took The Plunge

[Kyelo]

So I just took the plunge and booked flights for Bestival, been meaning to do it for years and can't wait! A few questions that have probably been answered elsewhere but meh...

1.Anyway the fancy dress thing, are there a lot of people who do it? Are you dressing up? What as?

2.Are the ferries frequent and what do they cost?

3.Are there any cheapish hotels/B&Bs/campsites I can stay in the night before and night after quite near by?

4.Is there a supermarket close by?

5.Entertainment, what time does it finish?

1. People dress up all of the weekend, but the main day is the Saturday afternoon with the parade and then at night. Not everyone does but a large majority do.

2/3/4 - Read the /topic/167797-travelling-to-bestival-2012/">Travelling to Bestival thread, lots of advise in there.

5 - About 6am Fri/Sat and 4am Sun.. but random shit goes on all the time.
