Electric Gardens, (Electric Gardens Festival), sometimes abbreviated to 'EGFestival', or 'EGFest', or sometimes simply 'EG', is a medium sized 'Boutique' Music Festival situated at Mount Ephraim,[1] Faversham in Kent. The event occurs on a weekend in early August.[2][3]

The first occurrence of the festival was in 2006,[4] and so far the festival has since been held in 2007 as well. The festival was cancelled in 2008 indefinitely.

The Myspace Bus

An inactive bus was parked at the festival grounds, provided by Myspace, in which the artists and bands were available to meet. Free gifts and information are also available from here.

Electric Gardens 2008 cancelled

Electric Gardens 2008 was cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. In February 2008 a key player in organising the event was taken to hospital with a life threatening illness. With no foreseeable date as to when he would be allowed home, let alone back to work, the organisers were forced to cancel.
