Set in 10 acre landscaped garden, bordering a river and lake, The Secret Garden is a garden-party-gone-crazy; there are tree houses and giant hammocks, mahogany bars and marooned sailors, space-hopper races and lost vicars, Shakespeare round the fire circles, several Elvises and even snail racing! Music wise, expect live and DJ stages.

The Secret Garden Party is founded on creative participation of all kinds, a proper Arts event, with ticket monies spread evenly between musicians, actors, installation artists, healers and public performers. Most importantly it is a party where everyone has the chance to get under the spotlight, from the headline Main Stage act to the hula-hooping eccentric in the setting sun.

Tickets are on sale, priced at £125 for the four days, with the price including all booking and postage fees, parking, camping or live-in vehicles - click here to buy.
