Got half an eye on this, not ruling out taking the kids.

Fucking expensive though!

Yeah, it is a little steep, hopefully the price is reflected in the lineup and Josie's usual production values. I'm taking my two nieces (11 and 14), their first festival...and my first time taking kids. I don't have children myself, but I do like to expose my niblings to the wider world. I've been to Bestival before and it was great, and I've only heard great things about CB from others, so fingers crossed for some decent names on Tuesday. Past lineups have been a nice mix

Be interesting what the weston park leg serves up.

We had a look when tickets were released last year. Eye-watering. Don't think it's one for us at this point in time.

Yeah it was £550 for me, my wife and our two kids including parking. That's just the ticket price.

Fuck that.

We'd be adding a campervan ticket on to that (only 1 child though). 

£552.50 plus four lots of booking fees.

Yeah, that's easily a £1000 weekend all in, isn't it? Jeez.

Isn’t Weston where they used to have V?

Misread the tiny font on the food bit and thought for a minute that EDM superstar Skrillex’s first name was Fred.

Saw the lineup announced today, was debating taking the family this year & then looked at the ticket price... 😳

I think that was Weston Park in Staffordshire - confused me too at first!

Hylands Park, Essex and Weston Park, Staffordshire

Camp Bestivalers quick question;

Is CB suitable for people without kids in tow?

Used to go to Bestival (RIP beautiful Bestival!) quite fancied CB but it's a bit of a trek from the Midlands so this new Shropshire one looks ideally placed.

Obvs it is very family oriented, none of the old Bestival hedonism!  Which tbf is prob more my pace nowadays anyway 😉

Honestly, for me, I'd say no.

Others will see it differently, as they'll be a lot more patient than I am, but I think the important thing is to be aware that there's going to be an insane number of unsupervised kids running around and there's no respite anywhere. Just need to decide whether or how much that'll affect you.

Granted, that's based on CB at Lulworth 10 years ago, so CB and Weston in 2022 may well be different.

Some say it's staffs, Some say Shropshire. I'm 5 minutes drive from weston Park and I'm Shropshire.

Bit of a poor lineup.

Thanks for the info - by insane number of kids are we talking on a par with Latitude or more?

I don't have too much of an issue with sproglettes running around but I don't want to feel like a childless pair encroaching on family times.

Like will we be out of place type thing.

All that said I already bought tickets for Camper Calling and there are a fair few crossover acts so if CB really isn't for us then I haven't missed out too much... apart from Fatboy & Example, both awesome live and almost worth being the only adults in fields full of kids!

Far more, and with a younger average age.

Ah ok, thank you, think it might be one to miss then.

Ever hopeful that a Bestival Phoenix rises from the ashes!
