Following Larmer Tree Festival's hugely successful 26th edition earlier this year the organiser's have decided to take a sabbatical in 2017, the festival will return in 2018.

The following statement was posted on their website:

"After a truly amazing 26th festival, which we were all incredibly proud of, we have made the very difficult decision that we and the festival need to take a year off in 2017 to fully refresh both creatively and personally."

"Larmer Tree Festival will return in 2018 with some new and exciting developments. The dates confirmed for 2018 are the weekend of 20th-22nd July – a week later than normal, so get those in your diary and we’ll look forward to welcoming you back to the Gardens."

"We’d like to thank each and every one of you for your constant support of Larmer Tree over the past 26 years, and reassure you that we’ll be back with a bang!"

"For now, we’ll start looking forward to 2018. Thank you to everyone who filled in our feedback poll, we’ll be reading through all your suggestions ahead of the 2018 festival"
