TEENAGERS will be able to escape to The Den at this year’s Camp Bestival.
Organisers have announced the attraction, exclusively for 13 to 17-year-olds, is returning for the 2015 festival due to popular demand - and will be going on longer into the evenings with themed discos.
The main attraction will be Camp Bestival organiser and DJ Rob da Bank interviewing rapper Professor Green, one of the main stage stars of the family-friendly festival.
Camp Bestival returns to Lulworth Castle for the eighth year from July 30 to August 2 with a line-up that also includes Underworld, Bob Geldof, Clean Bandit, Kaiser Chiefs, Wretch 32 and Kate Tempest to name a few plus all the usual family entertainment.
Organisers describe The Den as a ‘festival within a festival’ with new and emerging talent, workshops, talks, Q&As, and ‘loads of stuff the olds won’t understand’.
From an exclusive, teen-only interview with rap don Professor Green, and an appearance by BBC Radio 1’s Dr Radha, who will lead a Den surgery, to all-out dancing, The Den is described as a ‘teen dream’.
Rob da Bank said: “After the success of last year we had to bring The Den back and keep it going loads longer with The Den Afterhours.
“We’ve also got tons of stuff you can get your teeth into from parkour to poetry to keep you out of your parents’ clutches.
“It all sounds brilliant to me, but I wouldn’t know, because I’m not allowed in… apart from when I interview Pro Green.”
Visitors will also hear the inspirational story of the youngest ever Poetry Slam world champion, Harry Baker - The Sunshine Kid - and learn everything they need to know about getting themselves heard online. They will get the inside track at the Give-It-A-Go Sessions.
