There’s free entertainment for kids and we’ve kept prices down.
” Don’t miss your chance to save money with ‘Early Bird’ tickets, starting from just £16 for families, £6 for adults and only £3 for kids; with full three-day weekend tickets from £45 for families, £18 adults and £8 children. Foodies will be able to sample flavours from around the world including Hey Macaroni’s marvellous mac ‘n’ cheese variations, traditional Asian cuisine with a western twist from The Bao Bao Beast and festival favourites from Bournemouth Ice Cream.

The music bill features tributes to U2, Kings of Leon, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Arctic Monkeys, Kasabian, and The Police. Plus, there’s a strong bill of local acts topped by those banjo-wielding good time merchants Sixteen String Jack, ace rockers Saints Of Sin, Chris Payn and Jordan Watts, cover masters Wonky Donkey, and inveterate party starters Mother Ukers. The site opens from 5pm on Friday and 11am on Saturday and Sunday with pre-paid on-site parking available and well-behaved dogs on leads welcome.
