They want Bestival-goers to get on their bikes and join their mission to reduce Bestival’s environmental impact while raising money for an amazing charity – and to top it all off, Bike to Bestival riders will receive a free Bestival ticket!
Rob da Bank says: “On your bike Bestival! We love unusual ways of getting to festivals, especially when they’re environmentally friendly and good for the soul. We’ve supported the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust for many years, and we’re really chuffed to be working with them again for this awesome project. So, what are you waiting for? Join our Bike to Bestival and ride an amazing scenic cycle route along the Jurassic Coast, where all roads lead to Bestival. We’ll be greeting all money-raising riders in Lulworth for a celebration and a dance!”
