Secret Garden Party 2015 announces theme and launches new website

Head Gardener/festival organiser Fred Fellowes explains the theme - ‘Childish Things’ - in a statement:

"Why are we encouraged so much to grow up and leave, what adults call, the best days of our lives? Not that we needed that much encouragement; we spent our time hurtling towards the 'next stage', determined to be bigger, more grown up, older, more mature and tall enough to take the ride. And what have we found? Certainly not all of the freedoms we thought we would.

Join us this summer as we’ve decided it's time to get those ‘Childish Things’ out of the box again and embrace them as this year’s theme. Escape the world that wants us to grow-up (and behave); and explore what we all left behind. Next July we will create for you a 100-acre toy box of a party, complete with jelly, ice cream and sprinkles, so you can release and realise your inner child. Remember youth is wasted on the young; so here’s your second shot at it."

The festival will take place 23-26 July 2015 at Mill Hill Field in Abbots Ripton (Cambridgeshire); grab your tickets here.
