Doffing a feathered cap to Peter Pan LeeFest will offer lost boys and girls the opportunity to take a journey into their never-ending party as the festival hosts three distinct realms within The Neverland providing an immersive adventure at their new home, a secret location near Tunbridge Wells, in Kent.

After a year out LeeFest has announced it will return to celebrate 10 years and is moving to a new and larger site from Friday 28th until Sunday 30th July 2016.

The Neverland will comprise of three themed areas - Mermaids Lagoon is for all those seeking the Club Tropicana high-life of cocktails, sunshine and 80s glam. Skull Ridge lies in The Neverland shadows - a living embodiment of shadowy fantasies and attractions expect a pounding, relentless soundtrack of bass, grunge and punk. The Neverwoods offers panoramic natural vistas and a place of tranquillity, nourishment and well-being in an ambient forest offering new music, arts and crafts in a no nonsense paradise celebrating good times and joy.

This non-profit music festival started as a community of 150 young people in a back garden. The festival has now grown to 2,000 people in a field with the same vibe retained.

Although being centred around young people the festival is targeted at an audience of all ages and offers opportunities for unsigned artists to play alongside seasoned professionals.

There are no acts confirmed yet for 2016.
