Festival Crowd Header

A life on the ocean wave is the one for us, so Team CB are very excited indeed to reveal that our theme for 2018 is Camp Bestival Sets Sail!

Kicking off the summer holidays in style, we’ll be cruising through Lulworth Castle on the Jurassic Coast from 26th-29th July. So, hop aboard, pull up the gangplank and prepare for departure to the biggest fancy dress party ever on a voyage of festi-holiday fun fit for all the family. 

 

Camp Bestival skipper Rob da Bank says: “Ahoy there! Being a sailor boy myself and growing up by the sea I’m pretty in love with our theme for 2018, and the old da Bank brain is racing with ideas for outfits and accessories already. Hopefully kids of all ages will get into this one and help us steer HMS Camp Bestival through the calm seas of Camp Besti next year! Right I’m off to splice the mainbrace and have a cheeky tot of rum!”

 

Be sure all your mermaids and sailors join us as we sail the seven seas of entertainment. From the ultimate in family shows and kids’ TV sensations, to legends of rock and pop and the freshest haul of up and coming acts, we’re guaranteed to have something special that floats your boat.
