Happening once again in its stunning location in the East Anglian countryside, near Huntingdon, The Secret Garden Party is a four day party like no other, a place where imagination knows no boundaries and everyone is a participant.

The 2008 Art & Expression Theme ‘Come The Revolutions’ will be exploring the revolutions of Past, Present and Future, from the spiritual through to the physical. We will be asking all Gardeners to stage their own revolutions, bringing the Garden to life with spectacles, music, sculpture and theatre.

2008 will also see a rare performance from RSC director Tim Carroll’s Hamlet, which will be performed by a cast whose performances will be determined by the audience itself and with the only props being used provided by the crowd. This year our Kids Camp is going to be one of the stars of the show, staging fashion shows and parades, holding workshops of mask making and pizza baking, starting the day with vintage picnicking and finishing the day with discos and story telling. A place to keep little artists of the festival amazed and enthralled.

Boutique Caming has been relocated to new parkland, part of a beautiful flower meadow. Here you can choose between yurts, tipis, podpads and much more; enjoy private showers and posh toilets or rest within the sumptious communal yurts under the branches of old oak trees.

The Revolution is coming…
