ORGANISERS of Dorset's Camp Bestival say that plans for the summer family festival are proceeding 'as planned'.

The festival is due to be held on the Lulworth Estate from July 30 to August 20 and had Fatboy Slim and One Direction's Liam Payne lined up as headline acts.

The situation with the current coronavirus outbreak is being 'closely monitored', a spokesman said.

Camp Bestival curators, Josie and Rob da Bank, said: "We are continuing to plan for our best ever Camp Bestival, following government guidelines and waiting patiently to see how things feel by April 19.

"We want to reassure you that if Camp Bestival 2020 has to be cancelled, you will be offered a refund or you can carry your ticket over to next year when we will of course welcome you back."
