SAVE YOUR ‘BOOTS’ FOR FAMILY ESSENTIALS WITH HALFORDS TENT PRE-ORDER SERVICE
Families attending ‘festi-holiday’ Camp Bestival this summer can now save their ‘boots’ for those family essentials and pick up their tent on arrival thanks to a special Tent Pre-Order Service from Halfords.com.
Halfords brand new service puts families’ needs first, offering customers the opportunity to collect their pre-ordered tent at the campsite entrance – so there is no need to lug your gear from the car park.
For those more concerned about juggling circus acts with headline performers than packing biodegradable tent pegs, Halfords will also have an on-site store - ensuring you can buy any forgotten necessities or replace any breakages that may occur.
Richard Bowen, from Halfords, said: “Families usually have a car full of food and consumables before they even get to the camping equipment, therefore the added benefit of a collection service and an on-site store offering all those essential accessories they might have forgotten will be a massive help to our customers.”
The pre-order service allows campers to choose from a range of affordable tent sizes online - from the Aventura 2 person Pop Up tent, £25.00, to the 5 person Urban Escape Atago, £180.00 – pay in advance and select the option to collect on-site at Camp Bestival.
Richard Bowen added: “The new Tent Pre-Order Service offers a convenient solution for families looking to save on space and money - providing high quality, functional alternatives without the heavy burden of transporting them all the way from home.”
The festival partnership will give Camp Bestival’s attendees one less thing to think about when packing for their trip to the spectacular Lulworth Castle venue; with the added peace of mind that there is an on-site store for anything you might have missed off your festival checklist.
Camp Bestival runs from the 31stJuly-3rdAugust, and customers can place their order via Tent Pre-Order Service from today at Halfords.com/campbestival. If you are planning on attending the festival but haven’t yet ordered your tickets, you can buy them at campbestival.net.

Editor’s Notes:
Camp Bestival
Camp Bestival is a multi-award winning festival that combines an all-encompassing family festival experience with an action packed camping holiday; something that we like to call a Festi-Holiday!
The sister festival of the Isle of Wight¹s Bestival, in its first year Camp Bestival was awarded 'Best New Festival' at the UK Festival Awards and has since won Best Family Festival three times at the awards in 2009, 2010 & 2013.
Curated by Josie and Rob da Bank and set in the majestic grounds of Lulworth Castle, on Dorset¹s dramatic Jurassic coastline, Camp Bestival is jam-packed with entertainment, from stellar musical morsels and cultural delights to stunning sideshow attractions and lashings of family fun.
