Forget longitude, what you need is Latitude

• 6th Jul 2007

Do you like MUSIC? Do you like FILMS? Do you like, err, BOOKS?

Then you are sure to more than like Latitude festival, taking place between the 13th and 15th of July at Henham Park on the Sunrise Coast in Suffolk. Not only do they have a superb lineup of bands, including the Arcade Fire, Wilco, Jarvis Cocker and the Broken Family Band, but combined with these treats are stages of Literature, Poetry, Theatre and Films. Not only this but the setting is stunning: pastel-coloured sheep in the fields, a glinting river in the afternoon sunlight, twinkling lights glowing from the trees in the woodland raves and multi-coloured ribbons swirling from every available post or plant. Last year was a dream, this year looks to be even better.

Take a peek at the theatrical and literary line-up below, and prepare yourself for a weekend of bohemian hedonism.
