This safe, family friendly festival with an old school feel will be getting a complete revamp, and is held from Friday 7th to Sunday 9th August, with the usual late entertainment, fun, frolics and more.

Endorse-It In-Dorset is going back to its roots and back under canvass. There are still three stages filled with more bands than you can possibly see in a weekend, bars selling ales and scrumpy, side shows and entertainers, but this year promises to be an altogether more intimate affair. The extra advantage is that at Endorse it in Dorset the entertainment will be weather-proof!

The line-up will as always will include a mixture of ska, dub, punk and more, and feature the same quality of entertainment as ever. The first confirmed acts are Pronghorn, Farmageddon, Toupe, Flipron, Cash Converted, Subgiant, Guns of Navarone, Hobo Jones & TJD, The Boot Hill All Stars, Cracked Actors, Who's Afear'd, and DJ Dapper Dan & The Macassa Man.

The festivals also has a great kids area, late night entertainment, comedy, food, beer, stalls, family camping area, healing area, chill-out area - all the usual.
