WHY CAMP BESTIVAL SHROPSHIRE?
A FAB lineup that every year gets us movin’ and groovin’ in anticipation. From contemporary chart-toppers like Rudimental and Ella Henderson, to nostalgic icons such as Primal Scream and The Human League, Camp Bestival Shropshire always outdoes itself. We can’t wait to see what’s in store for 2025.
Activities galore making Camp Bestival about more than just music. There will be comedy, theatre, circus acts, silent discos, fancy dress competitions and more, making this the perfect festival for getting active and creative with your friends and family. Get ready for boogying, giggling, relaxing and - of course - getting to know this year's lovely cohort of concierges.
Lots of outdoor adventuring - wild swimming? Check. Outdoor spa? Check. Zip-lining? Check. Yes - this is the festival for outdoor adventure. Located in the magical Weston Park - complete with stately home - every activity is set against a backdrop of nature’s charming sights and sounds.
