Secret Garden Party announces theme for 2015
AIF member The Secret Garden Party has announced its theme for 2015, called ‘Childish Things.’
Festival director Fred Fellowes talks about the concept behind the ‘Childish Things’ theme: “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 has also announced the launch of its brand new website, illustrated by Dave Little. Boutique camping options for the festival have also gone on-sale, which can be perused here.
