tickets for Camp Bestival 2011 on sale

A limited number of early bird tickets including a new payment plan option go on sale from 8am today for Camp Bestival 2011, at 2010 prices.

One of the best festivals in the country for families with young children, Bestival's sister festival Camp Bestival returns in 2011 from Friday 29th to Sunday 31st July, the first week of the school summer holidays, at the picturesque setting of Lulworth Castle, set against the backdrop of England's dramatic Jurassic coastline in Dorset.

This festival is hugely suited to families, far more so than for those without kids. Camp Bestival is all about bringing back the British Holiday Camp... Bestival style! A place where Hi de Hi camping capers meet the spirit of early festivals and as well as entertainment, comedy, and literature.

There will be a full programme of music (no acts have been announced yet for 2011), plus other entertainment including comedy, arts & crafts, spoken word, dance, and more. Festival goers can expect a return of the Heavenly Healing area, The Dingly Dell Trail, the Groovie Movie Solar Powered Cinema, a Happy Campers area, and even some Medieval Jousting.

In the words of Camp Bestival organiser Rob da Bank, "Big Mr Tumble like applause for everyone who came to Camp Bestival's third year and made it such a splendiferous weekend ... we're all shattered but happy that it was such a fine weekend of partying and dancing for young and old and are already into planning for 2011. Hope to see you all next year ... watch this space for latest news from the Camp - Hi De Hi"
