Music Festivals in Dorset

Music Festivals in Dorset

Edging closer to summer, we all know the one that’s thing for sure in England – the warm weather doesn’t last forever. That’s why going to a music festival during the summer is something many of us Brits take advantage of. They’re fun, you get to soak up the sun (most of the time), you get to watch some cracking music and enjoy lots of fantastic food and drink.

If you’re a festival go-er, Dorset has something for you. We’ve got larger festivals such as Camp Bestival and Sandfest that welcome some worldwide artists, whilst many towns and villages within Dorset host smaller festivals on their home ground. There’s lots of local festivals across Dorset that offer a variety of genres including Rock, Jazz and Folk where you can witness some of the best talent in the South West.
