For those in the know, Caravanserai is the epicentre of unexpected adventure. A tumbledown paradise of retro caravans and vintage waltzers encircling a stunning stage, lounging space galore and delightful cocktail bar, it’s literally bursting with bohemian beauty. With this year’s line-up featuring all-embracing entertainment, amazing music and death defying highwire and trapeze from Cirque Bijou, it’s the place where you’ll find a mellower kind of mirth to rest and recharge in the mid-afternoons. But come the gloaming Caravanserai will mutate into a thrillingly outrageous hotbed of off-kilter amusements that will take your breath away.
“Caravanserai is the full festival Monty, a mosh pit of vibes and a playground fit for the oldest adult and youngest kid, with a Vibo Meter turned up to 12, and your own surreal lounge we made for you!” - DJ Chris Tofu - Caravanserai Curator & Continental Drifts’ Vibe Controller
This year’s instalment of mind-blowing music and mischief makers joining Caravanserai at Camp Bestival’s second Weston Park excursion include a DJ set from EMF frontman James Atkin, DJ Chris Tofu, kings of surf-noir The Bikini Beach Band, purveyors of ska-hop-dub-funk, The Midnight Zu, the New Orleans inspired horns of New York Brass Band, and Caravanserai mainstay Count Skylarkin.
