Playgroup Festival
29 September - 01 October 2012
Playgroup Festival is all about amazing live music, beautiful scenery, making new friends and forgetting about the real world for three days of weird, wonderful and truly spectacular entertainment!
Situated in between Brighton and London in the beautiful ancient deer park, Eridge, just outside Tunbridge Wells, Playgroup Festival caters for a mere 3,500 guests, it’s small, beautifully formed and teeming with art, music, magic and laughter.
This is the third annual event and it's brighter than ever, cramming in five stages of music, two 24 hour cinema tents, excellent kids area, tones of walkabout performers, outdoor circus, games arena, local traders, healing area, cabaret and talks tent and loads of individually curated ‘mini performance’ areas while being totally powered by renewable energy.
