The Secret Garden Party has today announced that the theme for 2015 will be, ‘Childish Things.’ They will be creating 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 takes place at Mill Hill Field, Grange Farm, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire between 23rd - 26th Jul 2015. 

‘Childish Things’ theme...

Head Gardener, Fred Fellowes explains the thinking behind the ‘Childish Things’ theme for 2015......

‘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.

"When I Was A Child, I Spoke As A Child, I Understood As A Child, I Thought As A Child: But When I Became A Man, I Put Away Childish Things." Corinthians 13:11

Last month, The Secret Garden Party won ‘Best Medium Festival’ 2014 at the Live Music Business Awards, and its ‘Falling Stars’ display, a magical cascade of 800 LED helicopters released over the crowd and conceived by the New Substance team, won ‘Best Event Branding’ (non-commercial) at the Festival Suppliers Awards, a ceremony that recognises those unsung heroes of event production.
