The festival issued a statement after it was forced to close a day early this weekend due to extreme weather conditions.

Camp Bestival organisers were forced to bring the festival to a close prematurely.

The child-friendly music event - which takes place in Forset's Lulworth Castle - was due to close on on Sunday (29 July) night, culminating in a headline set from Simple Minds.

However, early Sunday afternoon saw the festival announced it would be closing its arenas due to "severe weather".

They added under a headline which read "essential information": "We will issue our ticket refunds policy as quickly as possible".

The festival has since told Radio X in a statement: "Camp Bestival are working with all ticket agents to finalise the Ticket Refund Policy. As soon as the Ticket Refund Policy is ready, we will issue details on campbestival.net and ticketholders will be informed via email. Thanks for your patience”.
