The basics
The creative vision of one man (called Lee), is a friendly eclectic festival on the edge of London, with added poetry and comedy
The festival
Started by a teenaged Lee (who else) in 2006 as a garden party/rave at his parent’s house, what became Leefest has evolved into one of the most fun and idiosyncratic festivals on the calendar.
Since its launch, Lee has brought on a dedicated core team of directors and bookers (he's only one man after all). Crucially though, the small-scale, good-time character has stayed, thanks to limited crowd numbers (just a couple of thousand), and an eclectic and eccentric lineup that extends beyond music and into poetry, comedy and film.
It’s not one for stellar names, but the lineup has strength in depth and quality.
With a location just outside London (in Warlingham, just outside Croydon), it’s also a perfect party escape from London and real life.
Unfortunately the team behind Leefest have announced that they are taking a fallow year in 2015, with plans to return in 2016.
Our tip
Just because it’s small, doesn’t mean Leefest is spartan. You can stay – for a price – in a 4-person luxury touareg tent with proper beds, rugs and solar powered lighting. Get you!
