The Garden is one of the most widely revered European events around. Set on a pine-shaded peninsular which juts out into the shimmering Adriatic water there nestles an intimate festival site featuring everything from full main stage live acts to twice daily riotous Argonaughty Boat parties, to late night partying in Barbarellas Discotheque and water-front action at the Tiki Bar as the sun melts into the horizon. The Garden combines full on festival vibes with a relaxing holiday feel and is fast becoming one of the most talked about events around.

The festival is going back to its roots next year and takes place over one loooong weekend. Tickets are already flying out, with the early bird offer set to expire at the end of October.
