If you’re looking for Purbeck Valley Folk Festival accommodation in 2025, you’re in the right place.
The Magic of Purbeck Valley Folk Festival
Purbeck Valley Folk Festival is more than just a music event – it’s a long weekend of folk music, family fun, and gorgeous countryside. Set on a cosy farm in the Isle of Purbeck (along England’s beautiful Jurassic Coast), this intimate festival charms everyone from curious first-timers to veteran folkies. By day, you’ll wander between barnyard stages listening to everything from local acoustic acts to internationally renowned folk bands.
By night, the whole site turns into a big friendly village: lanterns glow, fiddles and guitars echo in the distance, and you might even spot the silhouette of Corfe Castle under the moonlight. It’s the kind of festival where kids chase bubbles, parents kick back with a local cider, and new friends share laughs around the campfire.
Camping at Purbeck Festival – Your Way
One big part of the Purbeck experience is camping right on the festival grounds. In fact, camping at Purbeck Festival comes free with a weekend ticket, and many folks love the DIY approach – pitching a tent with friends, waking up to sunrise over the hills, and being only a short stroll from the music.
But let’s be honest: there’s camping… and then there’s camping. We’ve all had that version where you fight with tent poles in the rain, sleep on a slowly deflating airbed, and emerge each morning crumpled like an accordion. Then there’s the other version – where you arrive to find your tent already set up, your bed made, and a little lantern gently glowing inside. If that second scenario sounds more your speed, then the festival’s boutique glamping option is calling your name.

That’s where our boutique bell tents come in. Glamping at Purbeck Valley Festival lets you enjoy all the charm of camping without the hassle.

With soft rugs underfoot, cosy fairy lights above, and fresh country air all around, you’ll have the perfect balance of festival atmosphere and homely comfort.
