Set in a 10 acre landscaped garden, bordering a river and lake, The Secret Garden is a garden-party-gone-crazy. As well as music there's loads of activities for kids and adults alike, and it is more of a party experience offering mud wrestling, skinny dipping, bubble wrap popping, sock wrestling, twilight maypole dancing, silent disco dancing, raft-building, body painting, karaoke singing, counselling from the bad advice bears and crafts.
