What is it?

Set in the beautiful, sweeping grounds of the historic Henham Park Estate, Southwold, on the sunrise coast of Suffolk, the award-winning Latitude features an eclectic mix of alternative music alongside the weird and the wonderful. Expect the world of indie rock to collide head-on with the very best in cabaret, theatre, literature and performance art to create a truly colourful festival experience over four days.

Discovering and exploring new things is a big part of the Latitude experience. Whether it's encountering a thrilling live band on one in one of the many Music Arenas, discovering new musical talent on the Lake Stage, being engrossed in a brand new novel at the Literary Arena, unearthing the next Wordsworth at the Poetry Arena, side-splitting laughter in the Comedy Arena, quirky freaky experiences in the Cabaret Arena, being blown away by an exhilarating production at the Theatre Arena, Latitude always has something fresh, vibrant and exciting to offer from the vast world of creative arts.

Latitude Festival 2009 will push things further with an incredible, exciting new line up that will guarantee another wonderful weekend in the beautiful surroundings of Henham Park.
