A popular music festival that welcomed the likes of Lily Allen to the Cambs countryside could be making a comeback after finishing in 2017.

The Secret Garden Party has teased fans on their social media pages in recent weeks with a number of cryptic messages.

Set at Abbots Ripton, near Huntingdon, the festival was first started with one stage in 2004 - before attracting 30,000 music lovers in recent years.

After 15 years of the festival, in 2017, the creators believed the time was right to close the doors.

In recent days a statement was released on their Facebook page with a countdown clock to September 1.

It read: “We wish to address rumours of our return and whilst we cannot confirm nor deny anything, what we can say is this:

“The Secret Garden Party closed its doors because it was then, the right time to do so.

“Bringing like minds together to work, play, create and rejoice in no longer a luxury to take for granted.

“So we need you to let us know that you are out there, that you still want that magic and maybe then we’ll be able to give you what we all are so desperately longing for.

“We have until the time on our website runs out to decide.

“The clock is ticking...”

While it was active plenty of popstars came to the county to perform on the stage including Lily Allen, Florence & The Machine, Years and Years, and Bastille.
