A popular music festival taking place in Dorset has introduced a new explorer’s booklet for families to make fun memories with their children.
Camp Bestival, a family friendly festival to be held at Lulworth Castle, has announced The Explorer’s Passport – a brand-new booklet designed and illustrated by festival co-curator Josie da Bank.
The passport will be free for every child to collect on arrival and contains illustrations, maps and information. Every booklet also has space for children to add their memories, collect stamps, and stickers as they explore the grounds.
Camp Bestival Dorset will be held on the grounds of the castle from July 25 to July 28.
Josie said: “We wanted to introduce something creative and fun that will enable families and children to explore the landscapes of Lulworth Castle and Weston Park in true Camp Bestival fashion and record their own adventures, as well as participating in as many free activities as possible.
“We couldn’t be happier that each family will now have a keepsake of their ultimate festival adventures that will be able to tell stories for years to come – this year is going to be amazing!”
This announcement follows the news of the festival add-on ticket option for 2024 - the Camp Kids Extra Pass. The pass aims to make children’s mealtimes as easy as possible while helping families budget.
It offers a sandwich, wrap or pasta dish with two snacks and a drink on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday lunchtimes, plus a sweet treat, and a dinnertime child’s meal from select traders throughout the Camp Bestival site.
There will also so be unlimited fruit and filtered water between 9am and 6pm Friday to Sunday.
The musical line-up is due to be announced at the end of the month and there will also be over 100 free activities taking place across the festival weekend. These include bushcraft survival skills, fashion design in Textile and Fashion World, guided nature runs, silly science challenges and creative colouring.
