The after-party on the Monday afternoon that takes the form of a 3 hour cruise on the Waverly - the world's last ocean-going paddle steamer. 

Aside from the "main stages" they have been busy building relationships in recent years with Scotland's best and most creative young collectives in order to push the boundaries of achievement at Kelburn. They have taken full advantage of the unique mix of enthusiastic talent that descend on the festival once a year to create a kind of non-stop magic - where anything seems possible. So groups like The Too Much Fun Club, Edinburgh Palette, Ideal Mexico, Tinderbox Orchestra, Chapel Perilous, We Are Tall Order, Decagram and many more will be busy presenting new work and building bridges for future achievement during the festival.

Neverending Glen Launch Event: Thursday 2nd of July at Kelburn 5pm – Late

As part of their mission to challenge expectations of what a small festival can achieve, The Kelburn Garden Party is hugely excited to announce an extension to this year’s experience: The Neverending Glen. Open to all Festival-goers, this ground-breaking project sees a carefully curated selection of contemporary artists and collectives taking their first steps out of the white space of the gallery to the wide and open space of the land and forest of Kelburn to create a visual walk, from the Walled Garden to a new performance space, the Beech Plateau, punctuated by a series of site-specific installations, sculptures, performances & workshops. The glen will even have it’s own (albeit bumpy) bus service.

The Glen shapes and draws the contours of an enhanced visual and creative experience, for artists and audiences alike. From the making of a pop-up gallery or restaurant for two in the forest, to the musical wonders of Half a Piano Cube in the walled garden, to pop-up gigs and secret parties, to the meditative walks and workshops organised along the numerous paths of the Glen – the aim is always the same: to unlock a new state of mind towards the arts, where through playfulness, something unexpected, engaging and surprising can happen.

They will be opening the Festival on Thursday evening for special preview events – anyone with a Weekend Ticket can purchase a, “add-on” ticket for Thursday evening priced at £15, essentially extending the Kelburn experience by 24hours
