TV & Radio personality & Heart FM Dance DJ, Toby Anstis is playing Bovey Tracey Picnic in the Park on Saturday 26th July 2025 with a Club Classics DJ set to end a day of (free) fabulous music & entertainment!

With a showbiz career spanning over 30 years, Toby is one of the UK’s most beloved radio and TV presenters, with his radio show becoming the number one most listened to commercial radio show in the country, attracting 4.1 million loyal listeners. Toby’s journey began in the iconic CBBC “broom cupboard” on BBC1, where he was the last-ever presenter on the show. He went on to host The Ozone and the legendary Smash Hits Poll Winners Party at Wembley Arena. This led to a successful two-year stint co-hosting Children in Need, presenting Grandstand, and hosting National Lottery Live for the BBC. Since 2001, Toby has been a key figure at Heart, taking his mid-morning show to the top of the charts and cementing his place in UK radio. In 2019, he launched the national radio station HEART DANCE, where he presents the Breakfast Show every morning, as well as Club Classics every Friday night (7-11pm) simulcast on both Heart and Heart Dance.

Toby's talents extend far beyond radio. He’s graced the West End stage in Grease, frequently appears in magazines like OK!, and is often seen on TV shows such as Loose Women, Steph’s Packed Lunch, Pointless, Richard Osman’s House of Games, This Morning, Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, and even ventured into the jungle for I’m A Celebrity! But Toby's influence doesn’t stop there. As a DJ, he is a festival and club night staple, performing across the UK and Ibiza, headlining major stages including the Epsom Derby, Ascot, and Sandown. His infectious, upbeat personality continues to draw huge crowds, with his Club Classics sets bringing the energy to venues nationwide. Toby also offers a fresh and exciting new element with his Club Classics Live and Club Classics Pop sets, designed to keep the dancefloor moving with timeless hits, and his Day Set for the new “Day Rave” experience, perfect for daytime festivals or events looking for an uplifting vibe.
