Kelburn Garden Party 2023

We invite you to return to the magical lands of Kelburn for our annual festival - a cultural and artistic safari for the mind, body and soul featuring a unique programme of music, art and entertainment spread throughout our ancient and spell-binding forest glen and gardens.

All ages welcome.

The Kelburn Garden Party is a unique, independent, magical music and arts festival – an annual explosion of colour, creativity and culture in a spectacular setting on Scotland’s West Coast – the grounds and glen around a 13th century painted castle, established in 2009 and with a dedicated following.

The festival is renowned for featuring a high quality and diverse range of musical styles that sits alongside a feast of creative happenings and fun attractions embedded around the site, from interactive art installations, living theatre, pop-up parties to glen walks, waterfall plunge pools, poetry, workshops, cabaret and downright surreal happenings. Kelburn is family-friendly and is well loved by all kids who visit as a fairy-tale playground.

The festival is created each year by the dedicated efforts of the organisers, crew, volunteers, performers and of course you, our friendly campers and dancers.
