Running until dusk, the music stage will offer an eclectic mix of reggae, acoustic, jazz, swing, samba and salsa. Roving bands and beautiful soundscapes will drift throughout the festival with Harry’s Tricks, The Scorchers, Salsadelic, The Mountain Firework Company, and Hotpot setting the vibe, in addition to the mellow sounds in the Kent Cider Reggae Tent.

As dusk falls, the wondrous, secret illuminated gardens will reveal themselves, bringing to life unicorns, dragon eggs and mystical tales. The beautiful illuminations, stunning projections, light shows, performances, music and pathways of fire will set the scene and the evening activities will commence.

The Silent Disco in the Neon Circus Tent will come to life at dusk. People can get their faces painted in UV paints and glow as the after dark activities take place, with fire performers, acrobats, jugglers, LED hoopers, trapeze artists and magicians.
