txt a condom at Bestival

Festivals are fun, and if you get lucky there's frolics too. But don't go getting too carried away - always make sure you're safe.

Most sexually transmitted diseases do not show any symptoms, and with STI's increasing - one in ten 18-24 year olds have chlamydia (and with 70% not showing any symptoms) - your moment of fun could turn into something more memorable than you were expecting. The object of your affections might look gorgeous, but you can’t tell by looking at someone whether or not they have an STI. Be safe!

At this weekend's Bestival on the Isle of Wight, you can save yourself a possible trip to the clap clinic with a text. If you text 'condom' to 88800 you'll get a text back, telling you were you can pick up a condom on the campsite and save yourself any unwanted hassle. They'll also be street teams around the festival site handing out free condoms.



Acts playing at Bestival include Chemical Brothers (Friday headliner) Beastie Boys (Saturday headliner), Primal Scream (Sunday headliner), plus Gregory Isaacs, Levellers, The Orb, Gossip, Billy Bragg, The Maccabees, Soul II Soul Soundsytem LIVE!, The Cuban Brothers, Dub Pistols, Calvin Harris, Mr Hudson & The Library, Simian Mobile Disco, Bonde Do Role, Cagedbaby, and many more, plus loads of DJs.
