Camp Bestival organisers have cancelled the festival due to bad weather.

After weeks of high temperatures in the UK, thunderstorms, high winds and rain caused many tents to flood.

A video showed a tent coming close to taking off and the steel perimeter fence collapsed in places.

"My husband got hit in the face with a tent before it took off into the sky like a kite," the filmer said.

"People dumped tents and camping gear to make a quick exit," she added.

The festival, held at Lulworth Castle in Dorset, was supposed to close tonight (29 July).

Our experience at Camp Bestival, we went from 85° heat to 60MPH winds and torrential rain. The tent in this video had someone inside it. My husband got hit in the face with a tent before it took off into the sky like a kite. People dumped tents and camping gear to make a quick exit, all the steel perimeter walls collapsed in the wind crushing cars and kids were screaming all over the site. Festival staff were AMAZING tho. Top marks to the team.
