Camp Bestival 2023 kicks off in Shropshire this week with over 17,000 revellers expected to flock to West Midland’s Weston Park. The family friendly festival - which opens its gates on Thursday (August 17) - will host a range of artists including Eurovision winner Sam Ryder and synth-pop legends The Human League. 

Camp Bestival Shropshire is the sister show to the long-standing festival based in Dorset. Due to the success of the original event, the organisers decided to branch out and give the festival a second home. New to the Shropshire jamboree is the theme-free Big Camp Fancy Dress Parade which encourages festival goers to get creative on the costume front or head to the Dressing Up tent if you prefer to pack light.
