Voted the best family festival in the country last year, Bestival's sister festival -
Camp Bestival - returns to the picturesque setting of Lulworth Castle, set against the backdrop of England's dramatic Jurassic coastline in Dorset. Camp Bestival is all about bringing back the British Holiday Camp... Bestival style! A place where Hi de Hi camping capers meet the spirit of early festivals and as well as entertainment, comedy, and literature, there will be a full music programme over three stages. Rough Trade Shops will be making their debut appearance this year by taking their legendary store to Camp Bestival. Come and find us in The Castle Field where merchandise, vinyl and cds will be on sale and keep a lookout for mini in-tent gigs and signings sessions from your favourite musicians.

| Legendary acts such as ska pop group Madness and reggae genius Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry will be gracing the stage along with, Billy Bragg, The Fall and George Clinton. No doubt all will be putting in a great performance. Up and coming artists Stornoway will be performing their delicate and utterly charming slice of wide-eyed romantic folksy pop, and young English singer songwriter Beth Jeans Houghton who not only possesses one of the most bewitching voices in music but also a body of songs so brilliant that superstardom surely awaits her, is also on the festival bill. One of the world's leading authorities of TV and film music, Jonny Trunk will be djing as well as DJ Yoda who will keep festival-goers entertained with his humorous, anything-goes approach to track selection. |
