Secret Garden Party

When & Where The Secret Garden Party- a funky mindbending music festival usually occurs on the last weekend of July about 70 miles outside of London in the East Anglian countryside near Huntington- England.

The next Garden Party takes place from July 22nd - 25th 2010.

What to expect It's Englands answer to Burning Man, expect a naked stage, many, many djs, Dance off areas, conspiracy camps, crazy fire shows there'salso quite a lot of ships - as always pirates are a hot topic.

People are encouraged to use their imagination and create something. In fact the organisers will contribute £500 towards materials required for any vessel you create.

Accommodation There's limited camping available at the Secret Garden, there's also some available hotels in Huntington. There may be shuttle services from London too. You can book quality hotels and budget accommodation in London here

Getting There Book a flight into any of Londons Airports here or book a train in England here

Secret Garden Line-up 2010

When The Garden first opened its gates we had only one stage. Now we have fourteen. Don’t worry, we’re not talking huge bland tents rammed with thousands of people – we’re talking fourteen handcrafted and over-loved intimate arenas that cry out for your attention and ask you never to leave. Its going to be a tough four days…
