Latitude
16-19th July 2009

Latitude first burst into life in 2006, organisers drew their inspiration for the event from the format used by  many of the European festivals. Certainly for the UK it offered something a little different and innovative but clearly European festivals do tend to have the edge when it comes to the weather!

From the start Latitude was never going to be just about music, neither was it going to just play lip service to the added dimensions of the festival. It was the first UK festival to bring you a full on range of performing art and its unique selling point was the fact that it provided  individual arenas specifically dedicated to film, theatre, poetry, literature, cabaret, and comedy.  So Latitude really was something of an experience where festival goers could expect to find top quality music alongside  art, comedy, film, literature, theatre, performance art, dance, sculpture, workshops, restaurants and waiter service bars. 

Set in in one of the most delightful festival sites in the UK  Latitude is carving its own unique place in the festival circuit, offering new and different experiences for festival goers, aside from a few teething problems (much of it caused by lousy weather!)  it seems to be living up to the promise - it''s a different festival offering much more than the norm for the more discerning out there.
