Camp Bestival 2022 – plan your journey
Camp Bestival returns to the Lulworth Estate later this month – with traffic restrictions in place to ensure safe access to the event and help keep vehicles moving through the area.
From Monday 25 July until Monday 1 August various measures will be in place in the Lulworth area, including:
- B3070 through East Lulworth will be one-way eastbound
- 20mph speed limit on B3070 through East Lulworth
- 30mph speed Limit on large section of B3070 and on Coombe Keynes road
- 40mph speed limit on large section of B3071
- clearways (no stopping or parking) in: East Lulworth, Burngate, B3071 and Coombe Keynes road
New Buildings Road will be temporarily one-way southbound to help access to the festival but will switch to one-way northbound on Sunday evening to help traffic leave the site.
From Thursday 28 July there will be no-right turn from the A352 onto the B3070 for the duration of the festival.
All of these temporary measures will be signed on site and you can find the details on our roadworks map online: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/travel/travel-dorset/roadworks-road-closures
Be prepared. If it’s a hot day, please have plenty of drinking water in your vehicle.
Due to the volume of people all arriving at the same time, queues will develop.
Please be patient and considerate of others.
Last year, traffic arriving for the festival peaked at midday and was incredibly busy throughout the middle of the day – with delays of up to 1hour 28minutes to travel south down the B3070 from the A352.
