IF YOU LIKE A VENUE WITH A DIFFERENCE
The Spiegeltent
Spiegeltents were developed in Belgium in the early 1900s as travelling dance halls and were beautifully constructed with wood, stained glass and mirrors - which cheekily made it possible to make discreet eye contact with other partygoers!
The Spiegeltent was the domain of night owls, heartbreakers and dream chasers, and are legendary symbols of exotic and wild party nightlife.
The Victoria Spiegeltent features at this years Festival and has an incredibly luxurious feel and finish, creating a truly unforgettable setting for your evening and late night entertainment.
Programmed by The Stables with music, comedy and cabaret, and located on Campbell Park in Festival Central, the Spiegeltent will be the beating heart of the festival and a meeting place for audiences, artists and performers across the 10 days of the Festival.
