An eclectic Woodland home of collaborative alchemy and discovery…

Nestled on its own little woodland hilltop, the hand-crafted Lavish Lounge Arena has been meticulously developed since the first year of the festival.

Extending out into the sun dappled shade of the surrounding Woodland, you can also immerse yourself within our brand new District 1, 2 & 3’s Art exhibitions. The Lounge itself is a magical place set within colourful walls, loving home also to BBC Introducing, and their curational partners at BBC 1xtra, BBC Asian Network and R3’s ‘Round Midnight.. By day, relax back on comfy sofas and soak it all up! As dusk falls, dance the night away in the Woodland moonlight. Our collective program for your sheer enjoyment includes the Lavish Lounge Stage, Pamper Street, the Late Lounge, the new Tiny Stage and the BBC Introducing Stage.
And if you feel inspired to perform, sign up to the Open Mic sessions on the Tiny Stage Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The lucky winner gets to play within Sunday’s main BBC Introducing stage line-up!

So come and join us In The Woods at the Lavish Lounge Arena and discover a host of joyous happenings to inspire and warm the soul, including the Latitude Women’s Contemporary Art exhibition, exciting surprise guests, live broadcasts of Radio 4’s Loose Ends and the Verb and the very best in under-the-radar talent from BBC Introducing…
