CAMP BESTIVAL
18th of July 2008 - 20th of July 2008
The brains behind Bestival are proud to announce the launch of a new sister show
‘Camp Bestival’ coming atcha July 18/19/20th 2008. Taking place at the legendary
Lulworth Castle, set against the backdrop of England’s dramatic Jurassic coastline
in Dorset, this is a groundbreaking three day camping spectacular par excellence.
With an intimate 10,000 tickets on sale only it’ll hark back to the first ever
Bestival, where magic moments were shared between special people, creating
memories that last forever.
Inspired by the halcyon days of summers past, imagine the 1950s British Holiday
Camp with a twist and you’ll get close to what Camp Bestival is all about. Mix in
entertainment of the highest order, splendid music, the biggest boutique campsite
ever, excellent facilities for the outdoor life and a generous sprinkle of
Bestival magic and you’re in our world.
You’ll be ‘Nuts in May’ to miss this debut show from the buccaneers that bring you
the annual, Award winning ‘Best Medium Sized Festival’ - Bestival. This new show
has the stamp of Bestival excellence but is also unique – a cool camping festival,
innovative and playful - where the capers of Hi De Hi holidays meet the spirit of
early Glastonbury where musicians and story tellers roam the woodland glades,
spreading love and merry cheer.
Taking place in the grounds of a magnificent castle by the sea for three midsummer
days and nights expect to bask in nostalgia and fits of giggles as the Bestival
Blue Coats, with the mighty Miguel from The Cuban Brothers at the helm, round up
the troops and lead you on merry jaunt around the most beautiful site in the world
designed by Josie da Bank.
Fun for all the family is top of the Camp Bestival agenda so expect a super Kids
area filled with magic moments and an abundance of neat treats for lil uns of all
ages. From a Sports Day on the jousting strip to Story Telling around roaring
Campfires, a good ole Cockney Knees Up, Insect Circus, The All Singing Kids Summer
Party and dressing up antics it’ll be a jam packed haven for parents as well as
offering high jinx for the adults and party people.
As ever they’ll be a super live music line up programmed by the big daddy himself
Rob da Bank (soon to be revealed!). In true Bestival style the music will be
diverse and will tickle all taste buds with a Main Stage, the new ‘Tree Stage’, a
Balearic Bollywood arena, the Rock n Roll tent and the magnificent Spiegel tent
for Come Dancing dance offs. All this plus Comedy, Spoken Word with special
guests, Theatre in the Woods, Films projected on the Castle Walls, Fireworks and
fun on tap!
At Camp Bestival you can stay in luxury and affordable tents, tepees, yurts,
bivouacs, airstreams, and gypsy caravans or bring your own world of outdoor living
to this delectable Dorset retreat. The facilities are top notch for families with
parking right next to the campsites, spacious areas for chilling and playing and
the rolling flat landscape means access around the site is easy for mums and
wee-uns. Hot showers with tea and toast while you wait will warm your cockles and
Giant BBQs, Spit Roasts, Farmers market and the finest local and famous food
stuffs will ensure hearty meals are indulged in and of course the local WI will be
there to attend to your cake and tea needs. So whether you’re dancing your socks
off or chilling in Restival you’ll be having the time of your life.
In the words of Rob da Bank: “I can’t wait to get to Camp Bestival! It’s gonna be
a big old family campsite with what we reckon will be the best facilities of any
festival from custom furnished tepees and yurts to campfires, maintained
barbeques, a massive kids area and our Bestival Bluecoats on hand 24 hours a day
to cater for your every need … and then there’s the music – not so much an
afterthought as just one part of the whole shebang. Roll on July.”
So loyal festival folk come join the Camp Bestival bonanza as we bring back the
British holiday camp with bells on and be part of history in the making.
