The Secret Garden Party is truly amazing.
Such a beautiful little paradise with the most random stuff happening all over the place
Wake up with the fanfare
Jump on a giant inflatable mattress
Get lost on a 3-floor labyrinth
Make the Girlcore Spaceship for the Grand Prix
Play cricket with the grannies
Eat the best pie in the world
Dance with lots of bands (IFB, Au Revoir Simone, Soko, Metronomy, Of Montreal). The main stage was a massive shark mouth!
Leave a note on the love three
Do lots of balloons
Get into a massive mud fight
Meet the craziest Centaurs riding bikes straight into a mountain of barrels (safety policy = none!)
Bump into the blue-faced family
Walk on a guy covered in straws
Watch a play with a nude lady surrounded by trolls
Discover the real secret garden... magical!
Meet the mom of the son of the Lord
Miss the train on the way back
Take the first train in the morning stinking like hell after freezing all night
MAKE YOUR OWN SPACESHIP
There was a tent where you could make your own spaceship.
