The Festival |
Over the weekend of 8th-10th August,
the fifth Endorse-it in-Dorset music festival will take place near
the village of Sixpenny Handley in the beautiful setting of Cranborne
Chase.
It was a birthday party in a barn that sparked off The Endorse-it
in-Dorset Festival - an event that inspired members of the band
Pronghorn to take things into their own hands and start a festival,
bringing local and international music to their home county of Dorset.
They have put together a quality event and rather than relying on
corporate sponsorship, the team uses local business to make the
event profitable to the surrounding community. The Festival goes
from strength to strength, pulling in visitors and artists from
around the globe and has grown from a one day event of 750 capacity,
to a three day festival of 5000. |

Food and Drink |
You can bring your own alcohol
into the campsite, but not into the festival arena as the 3 well-stocked
bars carry a full range of drinks, offering a grand choice of real
ales, cocktails, spirits, lagers, ciders and soft drinks. There’s
a wide selection of food stalls selling foods from all corners of
the world. |
Camping |
Camping at the festival is
built into the ticket price and valid for the date/s on your ticket.
The campsite opens at midday on Friday 8th and must be vacated by

Pets
|
NO PETS, of whatever shape
and size. The festival site is on a working farm. We wouldn't
want your prize winning poodle to be shot by the local farmer!
Bringing pets runs the risk of refusal of admission/removal from
the site – you have been warned!! |
Kids |
We have a great kids
area
planned for this year, with plenty of free/cheap activities on offer.
There is also a quiet camping area for those who need a bit of tranquility,
set at the top of the campsite, but in a separate field. |
and finally... |
Have a great time –
explore, learn, experience and generally have a brilliant weekend! |
