THERE will be a wildlife theme for the second ever Camp Bestival Shropshire in 2023, organisers have told MarkMeets

Curators Rob and Josie da Bank said: “Can you believe it?! We’ve been 15 years down in Dorset! and, as you know, we love any excuse for a party, but this is a good one.

“Not a bad age to reach in festival years and to be this old (or maybe this young?!) so we’re going all out with a major new stage and some ace talent additions.

“This is honestly one of the funnest, coolest looking stages out there in festival land and we’re gonna have some serious naughty nautical antics aboard!”

The popular HMS Camp Bestival is returning and will play host to Fat Tony, Woody, Jaguar Skills, plus Gok back-to-back with Rob da Bank himself.

TV chef-and-DJ Gok added: “Family, vibrant, exhilarating and discovery are just some of the superlatives that you can say about Camp Bestival, one of the finest curated events this country has to offer, it was without a doubt up there as one of the top three events I did in the summer of 2022.”

Meanwhile, sister festival Camp Bestival Shropshire has just announced it’s Wildlife fancy dress theme, plus line-up additions including folk-pop star CMAT, Peter Andre’s son Junior Andre, DJ Yoda, Dub Pistols, plus former The Prodigy member Leeroy Thornhill.
