Camp Bestival will bring all the theatre, showsy, wellbeing workshops and circus spectacles that earned the well-known festival its title.
You can also expect sideshow commotions, comedy as well as a wide range of delicious food and drink amid the spacious grounds and woodlands of Weston Park.
The stunning gardens, designed by 'England's greatest gardener Capability Brown will play host to spacious camping areas including a camping area backstage.
You can also park your campervans or caravans if you prefer more traditional comforts.
Speaking of the announcement, Festival Co-Curator’s Josie & Rob da Bank said:“Whoop! The da Bank house is about to explode with excitement that we can finally announce our first new festival for many years as we unleash Camp Bestival Shropshire!
"Set in the heart of England, Josie and I couldn’t be prouder or more delighted to have finally found a site that's not only worthy of a second Camp Bestival, but is also exquisitely beautiful.
"Weston Park has all the elements we love from magical woodlands and oodles of green fields to lakes and a historic stately home backdrop.
"Following the success of Camp Bestival in Dorset, we're over the moon to be adding this new event to our festival family to meet popular geographical and practical demand.
"We plan to give this festival as much love and attention as our heritage festival in Lulworth and can’t wait to see you all back at one or the other…or possibly both!"
Fans of Camp Bestival's musical line up will not be disappointed either with the Shropshire-based event set to host a variety of "legendary heavyweights to some of the most exciting up and coming acts around."
There will be something for everyone with all your pop, rap, rock, dance, dub skiffle, swing favourites expected to feature across their signature stages, including the Big Top, Bollywood, Caravanserai, Pig’s Big Ballroom and more.
