SHROPSHIRE'S Weston Park is set to become the host site for an exciting expansion of one of the UK's most loved family festivals in 2022.

Camp Bestival, usually held in Dorset each year, has announced a sister show to its family festival coming at Weston Park between August 18-21.

Camp Bestival Shropshire is a brand-new, stand-alone event bringing all the unique and essential family friendly elements of the original Camp Bestival to the heart of England.

Festival co-curators Josie and Rob da Bank said they were looking forward to launching the Shropshire site next year.

“Whoop! The da Bank house is about to explode with excitement that we can finally announce our first new festival for many years as we unleash Camp Bestival Shropshire," they said.

"Set in the heart of England, Josie and I couldn’t be prouder or more delighted to have finally found a site that's not only worthy of a second Camp Bestival, but is also exquisitely beautiful.

"Weston Park has all the elements we love from magical woodlands and oodles of green fields to lakes and a historic stately home backdrop.

"Following the success of Camp Bestival in Dorset, we're over the moon to be adding this new event to our festival family to meet popular geographical and practical demand.

"We plan to give this festival as much love and attention as our heritage festival in Lulworth and can’t wait to see you all back at one or the other…or possibly both."

Tickets for Camp Bestival Shropshire will be on sale early November with the full line-up announced later this year.
