The last big outdoor gig of the summer will take place in the Human Nature Garden, Horsham Park, on Saturday and Sunday, August 18-19, featuring three separate competitions and three headline performances from last year’s winners.

This non-profit event is entirely dependent on weekend revellers, sponsorship and charitable donations to keep it going.
