We Out Here announces new location and dates for 2023 edition

Giles Peterson's festival is set to move away from Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire

We Out Here is set to go out there, as the festival reveals its new location for 2023.

Since its first edition in 2019, Gilles Peterson’s festival has been hosted at Abbots Ripton, Cambridgeshire — the same site as the now-revived Secret Garden Party.

However today, the festival has announced that it will be moving across the South coast to Wimborne St Giles in Dorset.

The festival has also revealed dates, running across August 10-14 2023.

We Out Here's new home features 400 acres of parkland filled with nature on the grounds of St Giles House.

Wimborne St Giles is 20 minutes from Salisbury by car and just over an hour away via a regular train service.
