Director, Adam Curtis said: “We are expecting 8000 on the field this year and predominantly families. It is great that the festival has grown to support a great range of music, arts and activities, as well as tourism for the local area. The big exciting new space for this year is the Thunderdome, a coliseum-esque structure with a boxing ring in the middle to host dance battles, jelly wrestling and many other fun activities. We look forward to making the Garden blossom for its 8^th year. See you on the dance floor!”
