Festival Garden in Hyde Park is a Sydney summer highlight, a welcoming oasis for a drink after work and the perfect setting to enjoy a balmy night filled with theatrical and musical delights.

The Famous Spiegeltent sparkles by day with magical shows for kids, and at lunchtimes you can hear Festival artists share their inspiration in the free Microscope talks.

From dusk an eclectic line-up of music from Iceland to Jamaica and beyond heralds in the scintillating new Spiegeltent house show, Little Match Girl, starring the sizzling Meow Meow.

Late on Wednesday nights, laugh as you learn something new with the brainy wits of Bright Club. And late Thursday to Sunday, groove-up in style with the welcome return of the free Late at the Garden.

The Famous Spiegeltent is joined this year by another intimate bar space, the Jägermeister Hunting Lodge, a cosy lounge where music fans can kick back, enjoy a few drinks and catch DJs and live music.

As the summer nights roll on, the Festival Garden will take you from fun to fantastical.

Festival Garden is an over 18s venue from 5pm. A selection of food and beverages is available.

The Famous Spiegeltent by arrangement with David Bates and Spiegeltent International.
