Camp Bestival Dorset is the UK's best loved family festival which takes place in the picturesque setting of Lulworth Castle and has everything you could wish for to keep both you and the kids happy. 

Originally a spin-off from parent festival and now-defunct Bestival, Camp Bestival has illuminated it's regal setting since 2008, going on to win the Best Family Festival at the UK Festival Awards in no fewer than a remarkable five years.

This incredible achievement is thanks to the huge, diverse programme it lays on each year, including music, comedy, theatre, spoken word, arts and crafts, science shows and circus workshops.

There is also a whole area dedicated entirely to 13-17 year olds called The Den, which showcases music, as well as all kinds of activities that'll keep the teens entertained for days, or head over to the Kids Gardens if you're with young children to be greeted by a vintage fairground, face painting and the insect circus. 

On Sunday night the castle will be bathed in an amazing fireworks spectacular with music programmed by Rob da Bank!
