Once again the Sundaise three-day music festival is hosting a ball, and this time the theme of Curious Carnival Tales brings to life the vision of creative director Rachael Stanway.
"Think glitter, bright colours and carnival. You could dress up as some character from your favourite childhood story, draw ideas from movies like The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and The Labyrinth or take inspiration from old school or modern circus and traditional European carnivals," she says.
The festival is five years old and regular attendees wait in anticipation for the theme announcement so they can start creating costumes and glamping out their campsites.
"The look and feel of the event this year will be very carnival," continues Stanway. "We really encourage people just to let their imagination go with this theme and interpret it however they want."
Stanway is keen for festival-goers to get behind the theme, as she believes the injection of revellers in costume is what really brings the festival to life.
