Gap-year students and travellers who are generally young at heart might be interested in the colourful clown festival that starts today at the Bakken Amusement Park in Denmark.

The International Clown Festival should attract backpackers from around Europe and there are daily shows on the open-air stage, a gala show in the circus tent and the presentation of the Charlie Rivel prize.

It is vital that backpackers take out comprehensive travel cover before setting off around the world. In the excitement of the trip, younger people may forget that if anything happens to them when they are away, decent backpacking insurance will not leave them stranded, missing items or left with huge medical bills.

The festival features everything from contemporary clowning to slapstick comedy and at gatherings such as these, accidents often happen, and taking out an insurance policy will ensure that if you drop your camera-mid juggle, you won't be left looking like the clown!

The park is situated on the edge of Copenhagen and is easily accessed by rail.
