Bestival

This award winning festival lives up to its name and is one of the very best. With major music acts along with the excitement and thrills of the world’s biggest bouncy castle, The Chuckle Brothers, fancy dress and theatre just to name a few; we’re not sure if 4 days is long enough.

Camp Bestival is tamer than its pesky relative over on the Isle of Wight. This one’s completely family friendly but still offers all the playfulness of fancy dress and late night adventures. Situated in a gorgeous English castle, it’s the perfect setting for a weekend of great music, special guests and a countless number of activities.

Ah, R+L. The famous troublesome twosome that’re definitely the highlight of August Bank Holiday weekend.

With a huge range of mind-blowingly awesome acts, there’s something for every genre. These two are full of surprises and sneakily host secret acts every once in a while.
