The Gardener's Guide to 2024
For 2024 we go back to our Roots with a huge emphasis on supporting independent music, reminiscent of early editions of The Garden Party.
This year SGP drops a headliner & fully commits to supporting emerging talent. 20 exciting collectives and 100s of performers carry the flag for independent music across 15 venues.

Art @ SGP
We're excited to introduce our first ever SGP Collaborative Art Project to the garden this year!
Bringing together grass roots creatives, propagating a sense of community and watching everyone's unique ideas come to life is what it's all about!
In June, we invited a group of emerging artists to come and explore their ideas around the Roots theme during a week-long workshop on site and together we created a range of incredible art pieces that we cannot wait to showcase.
Keep a look out for the golden placards to find out more about each art piece.
