If you weren’t fast enough buying tickets for this year’s Bestival, you still have a chance to indulge in Bestival fun in the sun, by heading over to it’s sister festival in Dorset this July.
There are still some tickets remaining for Camp Bestival, which takes place in the gorgeous location of Lulworth Cove. With the backdrop of a stunning coastline, Camp Bestival promises the same Bestival love and joy with music, comedy, theatre and various other hi-jinxs, but with a real emphasis on inviting the whole family.
We know that we can rely on the Bestival crew to pull together an eclectic line-up and with Camp Bestival this isn’t just limited to the music lineup.
If you fancy a laugh, this is going to be the place for you this summer as Camp Bestival present what sounds like a superb verbal mash up tent, ‘The Laughter Library’.
Here’s what those lovelies at Bestival HQ have to say about the laughter lineup …
With quite possibly the most eclectic line-up of top British Comedy talent ever assembled at a UK festival, The Laughter Library will play host to our fantastic ‘Jestival’ line-up, designed to entertain and tickle your fancy. All this plus daily shenanigans with our very own masters of fun The Cuban Brothers who will be leading the Camp Bestival Bluecoats (aka the Lost & Found troops) around the site, mobilizing merriment and monkey business around the best campsite in the world!
