1. Get your circus freak on
For the past few years, festival vibes have been on point at the Isle of Wight Festival, thanks to Cirque de la Quirk’s eclectic mix of acrobatics, interactive games and quirky events. They host their own schedule throughout the festival with activities like the circus olympics, circus school, and clown dance offs.
