Latest update from Camp Bestival


All aboard HMS Camp Bestival!! ⚓️🚢 🥳

Join us in Dorset on Saturday afternoon to celebrate our 15th year on a very special Birthday stage with Gok Wan, Fat Tony, Jaguar Skills, Woody Cook, 24hr Garage Girls, the amazing Marawa’s Majorettes and so much more 🎉

Here’s a message in a bottle from our very own captain Rob da Bank…“Paaaaarrrrtttyyy! Can you believe it?! We’ve been 15 years down in Dorset! and, as you know, we love any excuse for a party, but this is a good one. Not a bad age to reach in festival years and to be this old (or maybe this young?!) so we’re going all out with a major new stage and some ace talent additions. First up we’re bringing our ship into the fields of Lulworth – yup that’s right Josie and her creative gang are dusting off HMS Camp Bestival (our beloved boat from The Port stage at Bestival), giving her a brand new look and sailing her up The Solent to moor up at Camp Bestival Dorset 2023. This is honestly one of the funnest, coolest looking stages out there in festival land and we’re gonna have some serious naughty nautical antics aboard! Gok Wan blew us all away with his high energy DJ set last year and he’s kindly agreed to let me go back-to-back with him onboard! We also have Fat Tony – a legend in his own lifetime – and someone who knows how to rip up a party, plus we have the amazing and practically Camp Bestival resident Jaguar Skills and 24 Hour Garage Girls, plus a special shout to Woody Cook, joining us for his inaugural DJ set. Anchors aweigh and look shipshape me hearties! See you there.”
