I popped down to Lulworth Castle in Dorset for a weekend at what I think could be England's most 'jolly' festival. Everything is perfect and idyllic: the setting, the people, the food... even the weather (although that isn't guaranteed unfortunately). It's quite small still, but there's a real charm and magic to it.
We didn't see much music (I would have loved to have seen Basement Jaxx but it clashed with Matt's gig), but they always have a very impressive lineup. There was a whole range of entertainment on offer: literature, comedy, music, circus, even a wall of death.
The Crowd.
Camp Bestival is known as the Greatest Family Show on Earth and there are thousands of children around. However, there's an extremely bohemian vibe to the festival: it was extremely chilled, and had a magical, wholesome atmosphere, and there are also teenagers, young adults, and elderly couples.
Older teens were spoilt with their own area for 13-17 year olds only where there was loads of activities and workshops.
The Food.
There was a lovely array of high quality food - a fine dining tent for Sunday roasts, food from every corner of the world, delicious vegan stalls, and EVEN a Nando's.
