Gottwood goes Tribal

Gottwood Festival is a magical four day party set deep in the enchanting woods of Anglesey. Landing on the hottest weekend of the year, these woods were crammed full of bright young things come out to stir their senses in this adult playground. This was bound to be a blindingly colourful weekend.






A month before the festival, the organisers put out a poll on Facebook:"What should this year's Gottwood's fancy dress theme be?" The clear favourite was visible after just an hour; and "Tribal" soon had won hands down, with 90% of the vote. And you can see why- when you're there you feel wild and feral, and everything is peace and love; you feel close to your clan- it just fits. People went all out, putting together every feathers, drums and facepaint they could lay their hands on, and for a night, the woods were alive with bright faces and dancing feathers.

But the crowd didn't just look great on Saturday night. Party people were wearing eye-catching and outlandish clothes all weekend, with hippie styles everywhere you looked giving the place a woodstock vibe.

Girls were in animal prints, sequins, wooly jumpers, neons and Aztec prints.

While boys rocked hawaiian and paisley shirts, 80s sportswear, bright shorts and waistcoats.
