Camp Bestival 2025

WHERE: Isle of Wight, England
WHEN: July 31st to August 3rd, 2025

Created by families, for families. With this slogan, Lulworth is ready to host the fifteenth edition of one of the most loved festivals by families in the whole of the United Kingdom: Camp Bestival.

Born as the “little brother” of the more important Bestival, the event has achieved incredible success since its first edition, dated 2008. Thanks to the lineup, with eclectic artists and, above all, its extraordinary setting, between green spaces and rolling hills, perfect for the various activities.

After difficult years, culminating with the period of controlled administration in 2018 and the consequent suppression of the more important Bestival, Camp Bestival has been able to reinvent itself. Today it is considered the benchmark among family festivals throughout the United Kingdom, obtaining numerous awards including the Best New Festival UK Festival Awards in 2008, and the best festival for families in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014

The Festival, in fact, has become a true phenomenon, standing out above all for its unconventional character. An event in which art and creativity are the common denominator. In addition to music that embraces the most disparate genres, there will be ample space for comedy, theater and even circus art.

At Camp Bestival, you can spend four fantastic days among musical and creative surprises, and extraordinary performances. You can dance and have fun. There is also a fantastic day in costume with incredible costumes. Mountains of food and lots and lots of fun guaranteed.

CAMP BESTIVAL INFOS

HOW TO GET THERE

Coming from European destinations, the best solution is to use one of the many airports in the capital as a base. London, in fact, is connected with direct flights, with many European and extra-European destinations. Its airports are among the busiest in all of Europe.

From the British capital, you can choose whether to reach Lulworth by train, by bus, or, more conveniently, by renting a car. The distance to cover is about 200 kilometers. Once you arrive at your destination, you can buy a parking ticket for £24 for the duration of the festival.

Southampton International Airport is a good option if you can find a flight at the right price. The airport is quite small and the direct connections are quite limited. On the other hand, the distance to cover is just 80 kilometers.

With South Western Railway trains you can reach Wool Station, from the main British destinations. From Wool train station, shuttles leave for Lulworth Castle. In this case, you can buy the shuttle ticket directly on board. From London Waterloo Station, the train takes about 150 minutes to reach Wool; Tickets start from £19.90, non-refundable, if booked well in advance. From Southampton, it takes about 75 minutes.

A great alternative is Big Green Coaches. With fares starting from £19, these modern and efficient buses connect the Camp Bestival 2025 venue with 49 destinations (Birmingham, Bristol, Cambridge, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newport, Sheffield, Swansea and many more).
