Camp Bestival hope for next year

Camp Bestival organiser Rob da Bank on stage at Lulworth Castle

The organisers of a music festival set at a 17th Century Dorset castle has vowed to stage the event next year.

More than 10,000 people watched performances from the likes of Chuck Berry and singer Kate Nash at the Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle.

The organisers of the annual Bestival on the Isle of Wight are behind the inaugural three-day event.

Despite problems with parking and camping on site, it is hoped the festival will return next year.

Some people queued for up to three hours as organisers had to find extra parking and camping areas when the site filled up on Friday.

Extra toilets had to be found to cater for the new camp site after some complaints from people with children about a lack of facilities.

Organiser and DJ Rob da Bank said: "We're real perfectionists and control freaks and it really annoys us that we have had these issues.

"But we have had beautiful weather. The atmosphere is as good as any Bestival.

"We would like to do it next year. We need to discuss it with the Lulworth Estate. If they will have us back we would love to do it again."

The event was inspired by the British 1950s holiday camp experience complete with the Bestival Bluecoats.

Saturday's line-up included Billy Bragg, up and coming band Black Kids, DJ Yoda, Dexys Midnight Runners' frontman Kevin Rowland on the decks and headliners The Flaming Lips.
