Line-up looks amazing! Especially looking forward to Plump Dj's, Ziontrain and Gomez!! Not been to Eden yet but been recommended to go! Does anyone know if there's much music on the Thursday night? thinking of taking the Friday off work if there's a bit of a scene on the Thursday? Also are dogs aloud on site?

[The Eden Festival]

Hello Kim! Glad to hear your thinking of coming down to Eden this year!

On Thursday night the festivals main arena is not officially open however many people decide to get camped up on the Thursday anyway and there tends to quite an atmosphere. Last year we did have a few bands in the camping area roaming around providing some entertainment. The festival arena opens 12noon on Friday so it might be an idea to take the Thursday to get set up so your ready to go when the gates open! In regards to bringing dogs, unfortunately we are unable to allow this due to land being used for sheep and we gotta stick to the land owners wishes.

Anyway hope to see you in the Garden of Eden in a few weeks time, it should be a belter! Anymore questions just get in touch.
