Celebrating Camp Bestival 2014’s Circus theme, Rob and Josie Da Bank began their Camp Bestival Travelling Circus Tour last Saturday in Portsmouth at Aspex Gallery in Gunwharf Quays.

There were plenty of free activities going on including the trapeze, juggling and unicycling lessons from Top Banana Circus. There was a photo booth complete with various props to create some hilarious photos. You could also get your hands on traditional circus treats like popcorn and candy floss. All this while being treated to some tunes from DJ’s.

Camp Bestival itself will be taking place 31st July-3rd August at Lulworth Castle in Dorset. Highlights of the festival include De La Soul, Basement Jaxx, a DJ Set from Boy George and comedy from Milton Jones. Not to mention tons of other activities for the young and those who are old enough to remember when Boy George first burst onto the scene in the late 70’s. Find out how you can get involved HERE.

Matt Ankers was there to capture the day for Strong Island. As you can see the event was a huge success and everyone had a lot of fun.
