Stages, Places and Special Treats

The Kelburn Garden Party is set in a site of unrivalled beauty and mystery. The festival takes place across numerous stages, nooks and spaces throughout the historic glen and stunning gardens that surround Kelburn Castle. We pack as much music, performance and entertainment as we can into this unique environment, with quite often surreal and magical results. Here are some of the places you can expect to visit when you come to the festival…
