Our brand new book – Camp Bestival at Home

We are super excited to announce our brand new Camp Bestival book – Camp Bestival at Home – publishing on May 23rd, at the start of the festival season and just before the summer half term, this book is perfect for every family wanting to bring all the fun and freedom of the festival home.

Camp Bestival at Home by Josie and Rob da Bank is available to pre-order now. 

Arranged by season and packed with activities, recipes and ideas to keep the whole family inspired all year round, why not get back to nature, have campfire singalongs and stargaze. For kids with endless energy, you could organise a kitchen disco or put on a family show. Go foraging, learn circus skills and face painting, or make festive decorations. And relax after all the activity with a family feast, plus some yoga and meditation for the grown-ups.

Written by Camp Bestival our very own co-founders Josie and Rob da Bank, with contributions from celebrity friends and festival regulars including Fatboy Slim, Sara Cox, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley. The book is illustrated throughout by Josie and is filled with vibrant festival photography and imagery guiding you step-by-step through each activity.

“We’ve only gone and written a book! Yes, that’s right… we have pulled together all of the amazing things we love about Camp Bestival and hanging out with our family and popped it all into a book with ideas for making and creating the festival life at home all year round! We hope our Camp Bestival at Home book becomes the perfect handbook for parents who want to bring the Camp Bestival lifestyle to their very own home.
 
“If you’ve been to Camp Bestival and seen it for yourself or not yet managed to get there, fear not… we have something for every family to enjoy. Arranged by season and packed with activities, recipes, and ideas to keep the whole family inspired all year round, we take the reader back to nature, enjoying everything from campfire cooking, singalongs and stargazing. From kitchen discos with our good mate Sophie, foraging, circus skills, as well as some yoga and meditation for the grown-ups from Rob, plus more inspiring creativity from Josie than you can shake a paintbrush at.
 
“If that wasn’t enough, we’ve roped in some of our lovely Camp Bestival family friends and regulars including Fatboy Slim, Sara Cox, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Fearne Cotton and Jo Whiley. We know you’re going to love it and cannot wait to share it with you. We are Family after all!“ – Josie and Rob da Bank
