Bestival 2018 Lulworth Estate

About

Bestival takes place between Thursday 2nd and Sunday 5th August at The Lulworth Estate – an enchanting, wooded country estate on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Campsites open at midday on Thursday 2nd August and close at 4pm on Monday 6th August with music generally running from around 11am to 4am each day.

This year the theme is circus!

If you are looking for an eclectic mix of music, cabaret and entertainment then this is the festival for you.

Providing a mix of great atmosphere with an almost endless lineup of entertainment, it draws more than 50,000 party-goers every year.

Bestival’s diverse headline music acts have included Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Fatboy Slim, The Beastie Boys and Kraftwerk, and it has become one of the highlights on the UK festival calendar.

Optional fancy dress theme with ’dressing up day’ on Saturday featuring a huge parade through the main site.

You will find at least 15 stages and areas spread across the site, each offering something slightly different, and if you like to party in luxury there are a whole host of boutique camping options.
