Late in the Garden

Continuing the party well into the night, the Festival Garden plays host to the return of the Band Stand! Brought to life in 2010 by The Sun Chaser Collective and Meem, both artists will return yet again and along with a swag of some of the most creative and independent artists around, create a fun-filled sound track perfectly suited to your night - whether it be to dance, drink or catch up with friends.

Entry to the Garden is free however capacity is limited and subject to availability at all times.

The Suitcase Royale - Deliver their collection of swampy dancehall tunes across three rollicking nights of music and madness - pull up a patch of grass, dance floor participation is a must!

The Crusty Suitcase Band - Gangster hip hop to soulful dub, gypsy swing and afro beat, their sound is driven by Ben Walsh's high energy and masterful drumming as he supports the power of 5 incredible horn players.
