Are you ready to put on your dancing shoes - as the biggest music festival in west Dorset starts today.

The Jurassic Fields festival will be held over three days on the West Bay Fields from Friday to Sunday.

This year for the first time the the festival will have all its stages running on all three days.

Headliners include indie royalty Reverend and The Makers on Friday, Dubstep Giants, Gentleman’s Dub Club on Saturday with 2-tone legends The Selecter closing the show on Sunday.

Along with the big headline acts, the event also has a host of talented local musicians both new and old.

In a previous statement to the News, festival director Jamie Isaacs said: "We are really excited about the line-up this year. We have tried to invite artists that cover as many musical genres as possible.

"We’ve got big hitters and also some hidden gems that are definitely going to be ‘I saw them at my local festival’ moments in the future."

Last year the festival was hit with difficult weather conditions, but the directors and the Jurassic Fields team are excited about bringing the show back for 2024.

Jamie added: “We have listened to the feedback about last year’s event and we believe we have made improvements so that everyone’s experience will be the best yet. We have more bars and a range of traders. We cannot wait to welcome you to the field this year.”
