The Latitude Festival takes place this weekend, the festival’s strap line is ‘It’s more than just a music festival’ which is an understatement.  The Latitude Festival is the ultimate performing arts festival, with a combination of music, comedy, dance, poetry, literary,  cabaret, film and theatre spread over eighteen stages both large and small throughout the site.

The design of the site is quirky and you never quite know what to expect, art gallery in the woods, coloured sheep, or pop up theatres, there are plenty of activities to keep the children amused with on site kindergarten.

The Poetry Arena has a combination of poetry and comedy alongside the hottest hip hop, slam poets, bizarre raconteurs, spoken word, storytelling and so much more.

The Cabaret Arena has a selection of sketch shows, Edinburgh previews, comedic genius, the weird, the wonderful to keep you entertained until the early hours, including Late Night Gimp Fight and The Razzle.

The list of things to do just goes on and on, not content with great entertainment  you can expect a wonderful light show each evening, good food and drink together with a very friendly bunch of festival goers.
