Festival Map & Venues...

The festival is held at the lush Victorian Larmer Tree Gardens - with beautiful lawns, Nepalese buildings and intimate laurel hedges areas, plus roaming peacocks and macaws to top it all off!

Main Stage

The large orbit stage on the Main Lawn is where Larmer Tree-goers gather to see the festival’s headline acts. Framed by trees and foliage and frequented by exotic birds, you couldn’t ask for a more stunning setting.

Garden Stage

The Singing Theatre, as it was originally named in the 1880s, is an iconic, spectacular wooden stage with a beautifully painted backdrop where musicians have played for well over 100 years. You can expect live music and DJs performing here throughout the festival.

Big Top

Hosting various music and dance workshops by day and exploding at night with some of the festival’s rawest, most energetic and downright funky live bands.

The ARC

Grab a chair, buy a drink and get up close and personal with some world-class acts. Hear some unexpected and memorable collaborations during the open mic spots, all in an intimate small-club atmosphere. Don't miss our new late night Comedy Club running from Thursday - Saturday.

Club Larmer

This year the unique Victorian pavilion building that is Club Larmer has changed a little... During the day there will be theatre and talks just for adults; from 5.30pm on Thursday-Sunday Mark Kermode's Film Club takes over; and from around 11pm Friday-Sunday DJs will get you grooving into the wee hours!

The Social

This beautiful venue made from three giant reindeer-herders tents, is the place to relax on cushions, flick through the magazines, or play one of the many old fashioned board games while listening to the ivories being tickled. When the Big Top closes, The Social hosts some great bands and DJs so you can groove till dawn - a more chilled alternative to Club Larmer!

Flag Circle

Located in the Village, gather round the Flag Circle for some hilarious, engaging and downright weird street theatre performances and impromptu band performances.
