THE KELBURN GARDEN PARTY is an independent, relaxed, family friendly festival bursting with colour. A unique festival in a spectacular natural setting on Scotland’s West Coast.

The line-up features a hand-picked and diverse cross-section of high quality Scottish and international acts, programmed across an array of hand-built stages and hidden nooks around the spectacular grounds of Kelburn Castle, situated near Largs, just 30 minutes from Glasgow and within easy reach of major transport hubs.

Their most diverse, talented and down-right enjoyable line-up yet, with something here to suit everyone’s taste. They recognise the preponderance of folk, pop and indie music at other Scottish festivals, so their programme tends to focus more on experimental, blues, funk, hip-hop, reggae, gypsy, jazz, electronica and world music. There is of course a good selection of hand-picked folk and indie/rock music in the programme. Headliners include: Mr Scruff, Trojan Soundsystem, Hidden Orchestra, John Langan Band, Mr Woodnote & Lil’ Rhys ft. Eva Lazarus, Laid Blak, Resonators, Mouse Outfit & Dr Syntax, Horndog Brass Band, Tinderbox Orchestra, The Black Diamond Express.

Once again the music will spread throughout the site on a series of bespoke hand-made stages and at secret locations in the Formal Gardens and up the rugged glen that rises above Kelburn.
