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. There are plans to hold the festival annually.

[edit] 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 cancell.
