When is Bestival?

People have packed up their wellies and camping essentials as the event kicked off on Thursday.

This year's Bestival runs until Sunday September 10.

Camp sites will remain open until Monday for those braving tents during the music event.

Where is Bestival?

For the first time, Bestival is being held on The Lulworth Estate in Dorset, which the event describes as “an enchanting, wooded country estate on Dorset’s Jurassic Coast.”

This is the same site that is used for the sister event, Camp Bestival, which is a smaller, more family-oriented version of Bestival.

The sister event has won awards for being the Best Family Festival in 2009, 2010, 2013 and 2014.
