When guests are ready to hit refresh and turn it up, the open air chill out garden area features pop up bars and food stalls, surrounded by fresh tunes from a live DJ and festival spirited, beverage inspired, group games throughout the day. As the sun goes down, the area will twinkle under the marina skies and decorative fairy lights for perfect Instagram moments, great vibes and times shared with friends.
