Pestival packed the house at Wellcome Collection

Pestival helped hundreds of people overcome their fear of insects at a packed event in the Forum at the Wellcome Collection last Thursday night.

Everyone got up close and personal with the amazing flea circus, delusional parasitosis, magical contagion and disgust. And by the numbers that turned up, the disgust element was far outweighed by fascination and enjoyment.

Our Entomophobia @ Wellcome Collection event was part of the Collection's 'Miracles & Charms' exhibitions.

Here are some photos we took from a mobile phone during the night (hence the quality!). Official photos will be released soon and we'll show them to you as soon as we get them:
