[NB: This is still 2006 info.  2007 info will be here soon...]

The guys and gals from Continental Drifts return to Bestival with a host of crazy antics taking place in the 24 Hour Twilight Circus Field and all over the site... We're talking weird walkabout acts, circus performers and musical entertainment... Including Lost & Found, the Laundrettas, Area 51 superheroes, Freaks, the Insect Circus and so very much more…

In fact, there's so much to tell you about so we've had to split it up – here we present all the weird and wonderful Walkabout and Oddball stuff going on throughout the day on the whole site and at night in all corners of the 24 Hour Twilight Circus Field…

Lost & Found
Following the success of last years swap shop and their involvement in our Bestival Reunion parties, Lost & Found are back with two very special items of japery for this year's Bestival - The Moustache Courier Service – 'They'd love to stick around but they moustache!' Lost & Found take to 2 wonky wheels on a mission to deliver parcels to unsuspecting recipients… except they aren't very good at it. Parcels containing mysterious items keep getting Lost & Found along the way. Look out for their moustachioed couriers as they may have something for you!
Best-Scrabble - Last year in the wee small hours of Monday morning at Bestival a dream was dreamt, it was a dream of words and people. Lost & Found realised that having big poles with words on them is actually really really fun so they decided to give everyone the chance to make their own words this year with Best-Scrabble. So, they will be giving out 100 giant scrabble letters on 2.5 m poles for you to play with so you can then get together with others in the crowd to make silly words. We'll then post the images of the silliest words on the website for all to see. The best word will be judged by The Walking Dictionary and will win a fabulous prize! The winner of Hat Scrabble at the Bestival reunion was 'Floater', can you beat it? There are only 100 letters up for grabs, if you wanna play please send an email to Rob at Lost & Found getlostandfound@gmail.com  Word up!

Miniscule Of Sound
Operating since 1998 out of a very small back yard in East London, the World's Smallest Nightclub has gone global - getting lost and found in translation in China, and tackling the outback of Australia! And we're still the undisputed world record holders for being very small - Guinness World Records says so! The 8'x4'x8' interior of the flat-pack instant nightclub features fluffy décor, flashing lights, a traditional Saturday Night Fever dancefloor, and a not very fluffy DJ. And watch out for the raver in the white boiler suit - he smells. Appearing in countless small dark corners across the globe over the last 4 million years, the urban myths surrounding the Miniscule of Sound are now almost as extensive as the club's never-ending guest list.
