Friday, 4 September 2009 - Sunday, 6 September 2009

South Bank Centre, Belvedere Road, Southbank, SE1 8XX

How Much: Free!
Stripes: check. Stings: check. Ability to produce honey: check. Yup, there can be no doubt about it, bees totally frickin' rule. And it looks like those lovely folks at the South Bank Centre agree too.

The first weekend of September sees a load of venues round the area taken over by a swarm of different insects (with bees featuring rather strongly). There's a termite pavilion, a beehive in a taxi, an insect circus museum and a load of other weird and wonderful bits and bobs.

As Jerry Macguire might have said (were he a bee or indeed Winnie the Pooh) 'Show me the honey!'

05-06.09.09.

One of the highlights of Pestival is undoubtedly Robin Ince performing with half-man/half-fly Gawkagogo. Click here for more info.
