Lost & Found	Sep 1 2008 1:33 PM To celebrate the very special occasion that is Bestival turning 5, Lost & Found present the Kidult Crèche; A place for adults to get in touch with their inner child and be very silly indeed. Based in the main arena next to Sunday (aren’t they just the) Best, we’ll have all manner of activities and idiocy to entertain you. On Saturday we cordially invite you to our big kids birthday party. We’ll be joined by crazy DJs the Loose Cannons for musical statues, musical bumps, musical chairs and musical anything else you can think of. We’ll be passing the parcel, skipping ropes, hopping scotch and getting as much jelly and ice cream in your face as we can. The rest of your weekend will be filled with all manner of L&F fun, come along and get involved, for your playing pleasure we’ll be hosting (amongst others): Binocular Football. Strap a pair of silly specs to your head and try to score a goal. It might sound easy but trust us it’s as hard (and as silly) as it looks. Flounders. Underwater rounders, with fish for bats and frogs for balls (no animals will be harmed). Team Kiss Chase. Red lips versus blue lips, with a surprise (and not always welcome) visit from a L&F mystery guest. Early Morning Oz Aerobics with Aerobics leader extraordinaire Marleeene. When we say WARM, you say WARM. Get involved and get FITTER. Bestival Gurning competition. How funny is your face? Human Crufts. Barking mad fun. Who needs dogs when you’ve got the L&F makeover crew? Bring your best friend and make them jump through hoops. There’ll be plenty more sillyness too, just keep an eye on the blackboard for our daily schedule of daftery. Outside the Kidult Crèche there’s even more festival japery in store. WORD UP is back- giant letters to make rude and intellegent words with! Bestival Baton. If you are handed it keep dancing till you can dance no more then pass him on! Can we go all weekend? L&F say YES!!!! So EXCITED NOW!!!!! Big Love L&F xxx
