STA to open pop-up hostel at Bestival
Student and youth travel specialist STA Travel is opening its first-ever pop-up hostel, at Bestival, the four-day music festival on the Isle of Wight.
"Music festivals are one of the most popular add-ons to travel itineraries for our customers so to be able to offer them a chance to stay in our first STA Travel Hostel at Bestival makes perfect sense," said Glen Mintrim, STA Travel UK managing director.
It is launching a competition to win a pair of tickets and two beds in an eight-person dorm room at the new hostel.
"For the lucky winners, as a resident at the STA Travel Hostel they will be front row for our live acts as well as having the luxury of crawling into a bed after a long night partying," added Mintrim.
"Expect bacon sarnies for morning fuel and yoga sessions to stretch out your dancing feet."
The prize also includes a festival essentials goody bag, welcome party and weather-proof daytime activities.
On Friday and Saturday night, Skinny Living will be playing live to hostel guests.
The competition closes at midnight on Monday August 24. To enter click here.
Bestival takes place on September 10, 11, 12, and 13 at Robin Hill Country Park.
