With a tradition of mass involvement, visitors will be encouraged to stage their own revolutions, devolutions and evolutions via parades, music, sculpture and theatre.

A spokesman for the festival said: "The Secret Garden Party is founded on creative participation of all kinds, whether that’s performing Shakespeare round the fire circles, staging a custard pie battle on the lake or building the sculpture of your dreams.

"Most importantly it is a party where everyone has the chance to get under the spotlight, from the headline Main Stage act to the hula-hooping eccentric in the setting sun."
