They all hang around together as they are just looking to boost each other’s followings by Collaborating. Also no other fucker is going to let them share everything.
duck that! Absolute hell! I find this very bizarre,I went to the very first Bestival and Camp Bestival,twatty generic instamums is not what I would ever imagine Rob de Bank (The guy who started Bestival l) to book? Maybe it was purely financial,Bestival has not sold out in the past few years as there is so much competition,perhaps there are enough people out there who would pay to listen to MOD,FOD and Clemmie f’ing Telford ??Anyone else seen the Bestival parenting line up? It’s a full house of Instamum bingo. Anyway, people on Twitter are asking if it’s actually a spoof...
Thank you, to each and everyone of you who have commented on the @campbestival page. Camp Bestival has now responded and I would urge all of you whom recognise the lack of diversity to call them out on it. Please, please go over there and let them know this is not acceptable. The current defence is they have another tier of speakers which will be more diverse.....remember the years before 1945, when POC were officially considered second class citizens in America?There is the beginnings of a questioning on the @campbestival IG page regarding the complete lack of diversity of the Parent Programme. I would urge everyone with a genuine objection, to go onto the page and question the line-up.

Sounds like because Camp Bestival have been called out on the glaring lack of diversity they will now scramble together a new line up “representative bloggers”. It’s not the headliners for the Pyramid stage ffs no need to stagger the announcements ....
I went one year and I remember being more family friendly, a bit like V festival in the day.There’s Bestival which is for grown ups and Camp Bestival which is the one targeted at people with young children. Camp Bestival always has a dress up theme. I went years ago, it’s good fun but indeed a middle class cliche with mums in glitter and hunters pulling kids in trolleys around. The prices have been hiked up a lot I think so it would be beyond the reach of most people now. When I went it was pre Instagram days: your phone didn’t really get any signal and ran out of power within a couple of hours anyway. It would be intolerable now with everyone waving their iPhones around to get the perfect photo for the gram.
I’m disappointed in Gemma,Oh it seems next are on a role and when it comes to freebies people are happy to forget their principals.
This time Muthahood - who as a small business stood up for a amp and side accepting freebie T-shirts for daughters from Next.
I do wonder how Gemma would feel if they ripped off her Strong Girls Club stuff.
These grabbers have very short memories!
Very short memories.Oh the irony - second rate Clemmie (T) working in conjunction with Next when last year she was up in arms about them ripping off Scamp and Dude!
Show me the money!
Yep, she’s more or less nailed it. The same privileged, white, middle class women getting all the opportunities over and over.Does anyone follow Allison Sadler (if you don’t, you must). She has storied about the Camp Bestival thing. Worth a read.
