What the organisers say

We're so excited to announce that 2022’s Dorset show is all about the Desert Island Disco! That’s right campers, from glittering grass skirts to far-out flares, don your disco kit and do the hustle at Lulworth Castle


It’s no secret that Team CB are fond of attempting a world record or two. So, this year to put the icing on our Desert Island Disco-themed cake, we want you to help us smash a world record! This will be an official GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS attempt for the World’s Largest Disco Dance and we need at least 325 party goers to join the fun and ensure the record is broken!



Live it up while getting down to a host of sequined sounds from the very best disco acts around. Be amazed by a host of sparkling entertainment, including a unique and special disco circus show. Bump and boogaloo in the shimmering light of the World’s Largest Disco Ball and maroon yourself at the brand new disco stage, where you can shimmy and sway the weekend away. An isle of festival frolics, the Desert island Disco will transform the spacious surrounds of Lulworth Castle’s grounds into a palm tree paradise for four days of family fun that’s second to none. Don’t miss out.
