Camp Bestival Shropshire has announced the fancy dress theme for this year's festival.

The family festival is returning to Weston Park this August (17 – 20 August 2023) with a host of more incredible acts, as well as a chance for festival go-ers to flex their creative muscles and knock on the doors of the animal kingdom, with an all-new Wildlife fancy dress theme for the weekend.

After the success of last year's fancy dress extravaganza, radio legend and long-time friend of the festival Sara Cox will be once again hosting and judging this year's family fancy dress competition on Saturday 19^th August.

Speaking on the Wildlife theme and Family Fancy Dress competition announcement, Camp Bestival royalty Sara Cox said: "Hello campers! I can't believe it's nearly time to be venturing out into the fields of Weston Park once more for Camp Bestival Shropshire... I'm beyond excited.

You'd better start planning your outfits because if this year's Fancy Dress Saturday is anything like last time, then it's going to be tough competition! You're a brilliantly inventive bunch and I can't wait to clap eyes on all your wild creations"

Camp Bestival curator's Rob & Josie da Bank worked closely with World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to finalise the Wildlife theme. The charity will also be an official partner for the 2023 edition of the festival.

Headliners Primal Scream, Rudimental and The Human League plus iconic acts Confidence Man, Melanie C, Sophie Ellis-Bextor as well as Sam Ryder and Ella Henderson. On top of this, Dick & Dom, Cosmic Kids Yoga, Junior Jungle and Mr Tumble will entertain families of all ages at the unmissable four-day celebration.
