LISTEN UP! Noisy Noise Noise is by far the most interesting bookcase you’ll ever come across. It's a new customisable, interactive touring installation from Working Boys Club and it's going to LAUNCH at @weoutherefest this week!  See you soon for a magical experience!

A top post-fest highlight reel from @SecretGardenHQ. Working Boys Club (who are midway through a packed national and international tour) took Serving Sounds to Secret Garden Party last w/end - featured at 37secs in! Contact us to book them for your event: activateperformingarts.org.u…

We will NEVER be over what happened last weekend in the Garden. We couldn't possibly fit all the highlights & happenings in 1 minute but we've crammed as much of the fun, grassroots talent & chaos into this reel. Goosebumps!🥹 What was your highlight? Let us know!
