Camp Bestival chooses Shropshire as second festival site

Camp Bestival is to launch in Shropshire next year.

The family festival has announced it will be coming to Weston Park from 18th-21st August 2022.

Organisers say Camp Bestival Shropshire will be bringing all the unique and essential elements of the original Camp Bestival to the heart of England. 

Rob da Bank said: “Whoop! The da Bank house is about to explode with excitement that we can finally announce our first new festival for many years as we unleash Camp Bestival Shropshire! Set in the heart of England, Josie and I couldn’t be prouder or more delighted to have finally found a site that's not only worthy of a second Camp Bestival, but is also exquisitely beautiful. Weston Park has all the elements we love from magical woodlands and oodles of green fields to lakes and a historic stately home backdrop."

"Following the success of Camp Bestival in Dorset, we're over the moon to be adding this new event to our festival family to meet popular geographical and practical demand. We plan to give this festival as much love and attention as our heritage festival in Lulworth and can’t wait to see you all back at one or the other…or possibly both!"

Camp Bestival Shropshire takes place at Weston Park on 18th-21st August 2022 subject to licencing.
