Located 7 miles from Canterbury, Mount Ephraim is a family owned stately home steeped in over three hundred years of history. The house and beautifully landscaped gardens are set amongst eight hundred acres of orchard, fields and woodland. The sloping nature of the site offers a perfect natural amphitheatre to the main stage, which is further enhanced by the stunning natural backdrop.
By Road: If you are travelling by road, there is ample parking available at the event. From the M25, take the junction 2 exit onto the A2 heading south east. Follow the A2/M2 until you reach junction 7, where the road becomes the A299. At the next roundabout follow the signs to the Electric Gardens site. If travelling via another route, head for junction 7 on the M2 as above, for entrance.
