This week, revellers have been setting up home at Shropshire's Camp Bestival for the return of the four day family festival.

It's the third time the huge event will be held at Weston Park on the Shropshire-Staffordshire border. Its older sister, Bestival, has been running at Dorset's Lulworth Estate since 2008.

The festival will welcome pop legends including Rick Astley and McFly as well as talented DJs and a host of family entertainment.

Atop the packed line-up of artists, families can also take part activities including parkour and free-running, paddleboarding, roller skating and kayaking.

"I also managed to get behind the decks at Caravanserai which is always a highlight.

"The weather is looking perfect across the weekend and we can’t wait to keep the good times rolling with hundreds of free activities and the best in live music.”
