CAMP Bestival’s Guardian Literary Institute line-up is announced today headed up by Bill Oddie who will be revealing the finer points of bird watching and Suzanne Moore who will be sharing her thoughts on feminism.

A haven for parents (and inquisitive types) in search of an edifying hour or two away from Camp Bestival’s more extreme wild times, this year the Guardian Literary Institute features a programme as diverse and entertaining as ever.

With appearances from Bill Oddie, Suzanne Moore, Sara Cox, Kate Tempest, John Harris, the festival offers a host of ‘How To…’ sessions, talks, spoken word, quizzes and bedtime stories.

Organiser Rob da Bank said: “Apart from all the lovely music we’ve got going on at Camp Bestival, our arts programme is a huge part of the festival, and not least, the Guardian Literary Institute, which this year has a line-up that I’m really proud of.

"We’ve got a certified national treasure in Bill Oddie, bedtime fun with Sara Cox and Dick n Dom, the fantastic Suzanne Moore, the Satin Lizard Lounge line-up, including our big favourite Kate Tempest, plus talks and quizzes galore.”

Bedtime Stories this year will see The Jungle Book Bedtime Story read by Sara Cox and Dick n Dom providing an aural nightcap.

Camp Bestival is at Lulworth Castle, Dorset July 30 to August 2.
