Latitude is a celebrated music and arts festival set in the picturesque grounds of Henham Park in Suffolk. For four days each July, we create a playground complete with a wealth of music, comedy, theatre, poetry, dance, literature, wellness, food and a huge programme for children of all ages. If you really want to get a feel for it, let’s deep dive… 2006 was the year it all began. Founded by Festival Director Melvin Benn, our first iteration took place in what was to be our forever home of Henham Park, and welcomed headline sets from Snow Patrol, Anthony and the Johnsons and Mogwai, not to mention a 30 minute afternoon set from a new talent, Paolo Nutini. From that very first edition Latitude was unique among its festival peers, hosting revered artists sitting outside of the mainstream, a wide range of comedy, poetry, literature, theatre, cabaret and a dedicated children’s programme. It was a hub of curiosity, discovery and ideas; words that ring true to this day.
