Entertainment

The festivals also has a great kids area, late night entertainment, comedy, food, beers and ciders, stalls, family camping area, healing area, chill-out area, woods for exploring, crazy Wrekon sculptures, and more.

The Charity in Honour of Joe Strummer of The Clash - Strummerville, return with their campfire sessions showcasing new talent around the only fire allowed on site.

Pixie Chill will be making a welcome return to run the hidden area of light refreshment, chilled vibes and serene garden over the weekend.

Kids

Children of all ages are well catered for. The theme for the children's area this year is 'Wild West' with a dress-up theme for 'Cowpunks and Indians', so children of all ages are invited to bring their best Stetson or headdress and get ready for Sunday's Hoedown.

Community

Endorse it in Dorset works in close partnership with the local community. This year the local Scout Group is running the festival shop and will receive all profits from it. The festival's bars serve locally pressed cider and our Endorse It's own festival ale is brewed by a local brewery.
