Latitude, inspired more by European festivals such as the celebrated experience of Lowlands, is set in the beautiful, sweeping grounds of the historic Henham Park Estate, Southwold, on the sunrise coast of Suffolk.
Expect music, art, comedy, cabaret, film, literature, theatre, performance art, dance, sculpture, workshops, restaurants and bars offering waiter service.
The site, with its natural, tree-lined boundaries is situated to the south of the Estate's grounds, flanked by country roads and reaching as far as the beached coastline. It creates a 15,000 capacity area; an intimate, and cosy country space with stunning views and undulating grounds. Once inside the gates, an uncharted world will unfold before you. The main arena will boast the three main live stages showcasing an eclectic range of alternative music spread over the three days.
Latitude is not just about music, it's about so much more. And unlike some UK festivals that stop at midnight when the headline band finishes, Latitude believes the fun should never end. All day and all night random and surreal situations will present themselves to you, enticing you to join in activities you never thought even existed. It is, after all these bizarre events that make a true festival experience and are the memories that last. A throbbing hive of activity will bustle on the banks of the ground's stunning winding lake. Wandering around, popping in and out of tents you may, over a period of an hour, sing karaoke, be mesmerised by a magician who plays with your mind and perceptions, laugh so much it hurts at a comedian you're not even familiar with, tango with a stranger and watch beautiful burlesque that may just inspire you to try it for yourself.
Or you could just sit back soaking up the fun and atmosphere, laughing at the passer-bys, and relax at the waiter-service bars, sipping a beer or even a glass of champagne. Latitude has everything you may desire. And more…
