Bestival 2007 launch parties

Bestival 2007 launch parties

Forget all about frolicking lambs, golden sunsets as the evenings draw
out and banks of golden daffodils peppering the British countryside.
Spring is here and that can mean but one thing, the opportunity to
throw off those winter slumbers at one of Bestival’s annual Spring
launch parties!

If
there are just too many sleeps for you between now and this September’s
main event, then you can whet your Bestival 2007 whistle at a fab
selection of exclusive April launch parties in the South of England.
And don’t forget that if you are feeling like really treating yourself,
then you can still hook up with the Bestival crew on the piste at next
month’s swanky Snowbombing festival in Austria.
