Latitude Festival which happens in the grounds of the historic Henham Park Estate in Suffolk, from Thursday 17th to Sunday 20th July has announced some of the entertainment to be hosted at the Theatre Arena.

As well as providing state of the art low energy LED lighting and a Hydrogen Fuel Cell to power the stage, The Arcola Theatre will present a series of short writer-led plays called The Miniaturists with each piece no longer than 15 minutes.

For music fans there's an extensive bill of acts headlined by Franz Ferdinand, Sigur Ros, and Interpol with other acts like Death Cab For Cutie, Elbow, The Breeders, Amadou And Mariam, and M.I.A. For the line-up details as available please click here.

A weekend ticket is priced at £130 and children under thirteen are free, but need tickets. Friday, Saturday or Sunday day tickets are available priced at £55. Lockers are available for £15 with built in mobile charging facilities using car cigarette lighter fittings. A standard campervan pass is £10 (Standard Green campsite) purchasers must have 'Standard' weekend camping tickets. A family campervan Pass costs £10 - (Family Purple Campsite) and the buyer must have 'Family' weekend camping tickets.

This year there will be a dedicated family campsite, for families with children under 13 (who can attend for FREE) within the public camping area and also a family campervan area within family camping.
