pothead pixie Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 I just heard on another forum that Camp Bestival was cancelled today due to extreme weather conditions, I found the BBC report here. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-dorset-44997816 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smogo Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 Because of high winds I think; the ground doesn't look bad at all from the photos I've seen. And not opening the arena at all today can only be good for us next weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillyandthewall Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 I've been to windy festivals but I've never seen SteelShield fencing blowing down. 100% right decision to cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoghurt on a Stick Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 The BBC long term weather forecast looks good for Bestival. https://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/0/3211312 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badleg08 Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Feel for the Bestival team. Sounds like a terrible year financially with this and offering 2 for 1 tickets for next weekend. Hope they can ride it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be a tough one for them for sure, especially as they are invoking their ticket refund policy according to their website. I haven't looked at the policy or know further details, but wonder if the policy is only for Sunday ticket holders, or a partial refund for people who were there all weekend. They may have insurance for this though. If not, it may be a nasty financial sting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pothead pixie Posted July 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 On the same weekend in Ireland there is going to be 4 or 5 festivals competing against each other too, All Together Now, Indiependence, Castle Palooza and Beatyard in Dublin.
